Off grid living with normal refrigeration – Having used an older style gas fridge I had upgraded to a new Bushman XCD280 propane/electric refrigerator. Living off grid the XCD280 is perfect, great size and large freezer space. Well designed and has a light! Show reply

Best fridge freezer there is – Brilliant., Living in a rainforest with its moist environment my last fridge didn't last long. The electric circuitry couldn't cope. At the repair shop I asked the mechanic which fridge freezer he repaired the. Least..the rest is history. And I love the simplicity the size the interior light and how efficiently it works. NO electronic circuitry to break down. Works almost to well, have to. Keep it on low. Show details ·  1

Fantastic Fridge! No more throw away food when the solar runs out! – We have lived off the grid since 2014. For 8 years we have had issues every time we don’t realise the power is low, including one horrendous food positing incident with some mayonnaise! I wish, I had discovered this fridge years ago. My stress levels are decreased. My fridge is silent. My food is cold. My fridge is reliable and, I no longer have a… Read more ·  1

drain on my batteries from my old fridge. This was one of the best investments we ever made. The interface is sensible, intuitive and easy. The fridge looks and acts exactly as you would expect a normal fridge to be. The install cost a little bit and the fridge was quite expensive, but my husband and I are thrilled and are entirely happy with our decision. My plumber even made sure the gas lines were a little bigger so my gas stove, instant hot water system and fridge can all work at the same time. The courier was great. Order came quickly. I cannot fault anything about the experience so far. Highly recommend!

Bushmans fridge game changer – Great size unit for my family of 3, adult 2 x 10yr olds. The service was amazing and transport to a rural town was no problem. I did order the Matt black and was a bit surprised a white fridge turned up however, I was too excited to have it so the white has grown on me. Would definately use these guys again. Lovely and cold.

Excellent off-grid fridge choice – We are very pleased with our choice of Bushman’s fridge. It is an impressive, off grid option as it provides near full-size fridge and freezer space. It is well made and appears to have high quality components. The responsive and genuine service was also impressive. I have no hesitation in recommending this fridge. Show details ·  1

Absolutely perfect! – Absolutely perfect! We are off grid and this was the best way to conserve our solar in the winter months when our solar is stretched. The option to have it use our solar in summer and use gas in the winter is the absolute best. We started with the fridge temp on the coldest setting and because it is so efficient we have had to dial it back. Being… Read more ·  1

gas there is no noise and the quality is great. Being able to change the side the door opens was super handy. It works so much better than our 'on grid' fridge ever did. The friendliness of staff at Bushmans was also above and beyond. We live miles from civilisation so Bushman arranged to have the fridge delivered in good time and at the best price. Very very pleased to recommend!

My life got a whole lot easier – I purchased the 185XCD white fridge to use in our off grid holiday shack. We tossed up between the 12/24v or gas. I am so pleased we decided to go gas. The fridge was delivery promptly to our doorstep in excellent condition. We set it up and it has been awesome. We start with it on 4 and it chills down quickly then we turn it right back to 2. … Read more ·  1

It stays cold and it is so quiet we don’t even hear it running even at night. Love the interior light too. I wasn’t expecting that. Love this fridge.

Fantastic Product and Service – We looked for 3 way fridge option for our caravan. The bushman got good reviews so we ordered the XCD100. Delivery was quick and we were kept informed every step of the way. Manual is accurate. The fridge operates as described and works well off grid. Show details ·  1

Best decision ever – So far, we only used it on gas and once it was turned on (very simple) we put in few frozen bottles in the freezer and it cooled down pretty fast. There's lots of room in both; fridge & freezer and the light in the fridge was a pleasant surprise especially since we’re off the grid and have no power. We kept the temperature on one third and it was… Read more ·  1

Game changer for our Off-Grid Life – After 6 years of living out of an esky off-grid, this fridge has been an absolute game changer. With only a small solar system we opted for the LPG fridge and our oven and shower are also on gas. With all 3 connect we change the large gas bottle approximately once every 45 days.

Perfect little thing – Works great, I wish the indicator switches and controls were in a different position so easier to see. The on/off light was a bit confusing, we thought we should press it, so it went in and now doesn’t come out. But couldn’t fault the fridge. Show details ·  1

Great little fridge – Bought this fridge for my off grid weekender. I am running it on gas (also runs fine off generator). Just need to be aware to order a regulator and flex hose with it as it is not compatible with your normal gas bbq hose and regulator. Very helpful sales people too,. Show details ·  1
