Bushman Original SC35-52

Purchased for flexibility of storage size and as a freezer backup for thermal caravan fridge which could not keep food frozen under hot conditions. Have only used a couple of times as it is a new purchase. Very pleased with results so far. Poerm consumption excellent compared to a thermal fridge. Have not had opportunity to test it in hot weather as yet, have to wait for summer

Nearly 6 years and 130000 kms (mostly dirt road) in the back of the car never a problem.

Best after sale service in Oz

Very quiet. Beautiful retro look. Functionally and aesthetically is robust and works amazingly. Proud to own an Australian gem.

The bushman fridge is used in my 4x4 for shopping and camping trips we already have another one in out camper and it hasn’t failed after many years of service ….very very low power consumption

The fridge copes very well under all conditions (weather, and loads)
WE use it as our second fridge/freezer when traveling in our van
power consumption is very low and if run on its own will last many days off the 12 volt batteries

Soild steel frame handles well built , solid baskets clips look a little small but work realy well can't see them braking , solid rubber footing on fridge and compressor,it will frezz if required in 35lt to 45lt there is a light hum when working but not as lound as expected , red and green light ,red for compressor on, red and green on for compressor off its good becouse u can just look see what going on not looking at app or the time fridge tell u internal temperature of unit controls
Turn on every 10 mins or so when at temp eg set ...

Extremely impressed with the energy efficiency of this fridge. Used for 130 hours with 100 amp-hour lithium battery ( this included two restarts from normal room temp ). Very quite. With 3 basket system easy to organise food and surprised how much can fit when packed correctly. Had looked at a cheaper fridge but was so pleased I paid the extra. Have twice had to phone Tom at their office in Victoria. Happy to take the time to answer my questions and great not having to go via a third-party service center. Would highly recommend this product.

I really wanted to like this, but for the price, you can do a lot better-
The display light never turns off, so if it’s in the back of a truck, it’s visible to everyone, and it’s really bright.
The hinge and latch is really really poor quality. It’s about as well constructed as you would find on a child’s toy. Being made in China, kind of makes sense, but I expected better quality, at this price.
The “free” cable is really really low quality and the cover is really tacky.

Not a bad fridge, but at this price, you expect a lot more. If I had a chance to return I would have, and bought and Engle

Disclaimer: Bushman's attempts to detract from facts and hide the fact their product is Chinese made, has made me correct my review from 3 stars to 1 star...

The fridge has been great so far, haven't had a single issue with it and that should be the case for a $1350 fridge/freezer.

My only gripe and the reason for writing this review is that many people (myself included) were/are under the impression these are Australian made fridges, when it turns out they aren't.

I've read a few reviews on this website from people who are claiming this is ...

Bought the fridge in June 2016. Used a few weeks a year since. In late 2021 the fridge developed a leak which took some diagnosing with help from Bushman but fixed now. The fridge was 6 months out of warranty but Tom from Bushman offered to pay for repairs without being asked. To me this is almost more important than the good quality of the fridge as very few companies will stand behind their product in this way.

We bought his for camping holidays. It works really well with the three zones keeping food frozen at the bottom for 2 weeks. The baskets make it easy to access, and still have standing room for wine and milk etc. Really compact footprint is great. Did not trouble our 100Ah Lithium battery yet, though only winter so far. Handles challenging 4WDing without an issue. Finally, customer service is great.

The original Bushman fridge suits our needs perfectly. Having the adjustable size gives so much flexibility from a small fridge freezer through to a large fridge for longer trips. The added bonus was how good the company was to deal with.

We use this as a second fridge in the Ute for our drinks while caravanning. Great unit, keeps everything cold from beer to wine. The temperature is constant. A very sturdy and reliable product which looks great.

Clearly a very well made unit. Good service and care. Perfect capacity for our regular multi day family trips away.
I did a lot of research and was particularly drawn to the low power consumption. I use it with a 70kwh battery that lasts around 3 days.

Awesome fridge. Love the low power usage and ease of use with the baskets making everything easily accessible. Have used on all my recent camping trips and it has performed every time. Last trip we used it for two weeks solid and it did not skip a beat.
