The quiet achiever!!
I bought the Bushman after doing some research and mainly to replace my tired Engel. The reviews were very good. Just got back from 2 weeks away (off the Grid) and it didn't miss a beat. Quiet, low power draw & copes well with the heat also. Great Aussie product.
Purchased in November 2020.

compact, robust and efficient
Living on a small stand alone off grid system, so a 2nd fridge was a good investment for the times when extra capacity is needed. It feels sturdy, unlike some of the cheaper models. It's extra 'coat' helps its energy efficiency.

Perfect accompaniment for our caravan fridge.
We used this fridge as as a second fridge while caravanning and are extremely happy with it. It copes very well with the heat. Will never go away without it ever again!

Great Fridge for the back of the ute
Perfect 12 Volt fridge for the back of the Ute so that you can still close the lid. Runs quite and has a low power draw. Sturdy construction and nice to be able to expand it to a bigger capacity in the future.

Great fridge, best one I’ve owned
The Bushman fridge is an excellent product, very good value for money and so versatile as there is a size option for all occasions. The fridge maintains excellent temperatures no matter the ambient conditions whilst also having very low power consumption. I wish I had purchased one years ago and have no hesitation in recommending the bushman fridge to anyone looking to purchase.

Quality and Simplicity
Really pleased with fridge/freezer. The Bushman has handled some rather warm weather and done so very economically. Clever design with the extension collar and lid. Only had it a short time so will review again after a year as it will be my one and only fridge living out for a year.

The fridge works well and keeps items cool, compact so fits nicely in the van. The information on web site very accurate and the fridge uses very little power a great buy and worth the money.

Fantastic fridge and runs on minimal power.
Spends long days in a Landcruiser and never a fault with it. Stays cold, runs quietly and it’s completely reliable. Great for camping, days or nights away or even keeping food cold on the way home from a supermarket.

Best Company
We are really happy with our fridge thank you. The service was so quick uncomplicated very happy. We recieved the fridge had a small problem with the lead I rung after hours left a message thinking we won't hear back for ever, even after hours they contacted us within the hour said they would send lead out next day to their word they did. We highly recommend these guys to our families and friends all the time. Only negative my hubby says they need to have accessories example slides. Thank you Bushmans.

Brilliant fridge
Brilliant camping fridge! What we love most are the baskets so you are not rummaging to try and find something in the fridge. It holds plenty of food and drinks for the whole family.

Simply the best !
Easily the best portable fridge - without a doubt. After reading reviews I thought I’d give it a go. Not the cheapest but as they say “quality is remembered long after price is forgotten”. Ive had mine for about 10 years and its never missed a beat. Used in the bush and at home for a spare - faultless. Don’t even consider any others. Can’t find original documents to confirm but hey its 10 years now !

Bushman SC35-52
Brought this fridge for 3 week tour around Victoria. Been great so far and has cooled everything very quickly. Highly recommend this product. I did email them about something but it was my mistake which they answered very quickly.
Yes a little more in cost however Aussie owed was also important for me. Had a good recommendation from a guy at work also plus my extended research b4 purchase.

Great Fridge
I have a Busman fridge now for 7 years and it moved with me trough several 4W Drives. The fridge has done some pretty extreme driving and corrugation among them Canning Stock Route, Tanami Desert, many Simpson Desert trips just to name a few and it never missed a beat. Low energy consumption is one of the great benefits of it.
Purchased for $1,300.00.

We have a 190 Ltr Bushman’s fridge with separate freezer we bought new earlier this year but have only now fitted it. The back wall of the fridge keeps icing up. I have defrosted it and straight away it iced up and is quite thick.
The door appears to be closing properly.

Hi Brent, Try a different power source first and doubler check the lead / connections and wiring are 100%. The Danfoss compressor is fussy with good power supply. If this fails, please call us 03 9437 0737 to chat through some tech troubleshooting. Thanks, Tommy.
