No more waisting money on ice. It's chills the food and drinks to perfection. Was an easy purchase. Easy to set up. I would highly recommend it especially for off the grid living.

Cracker of an off grid fridge.
Just got back from 2 weeks off the grid camping and enjoyed ice cold beer and frozen fish fillets in the top freezer section. Easy to use and gas beats solar anyway when it comes to care free holiday. Thanks Bushman!

Great Fridge for our Houseboat.
Bushman offered the most appropriate size and and particularly the price. Easy to operate and VERY efficient. Makes ice quickly. Bottom drawer is sticky. Battery operated Interior light and gas ignition and gauge to check operation are excellent. 240v backup would be comforting if we had shore power. We were impressed with the simplicity and straight forward phone service. Delivered to the boat. Buy with confidence.
Purchased in October 2020 for $2,000.00.

Works well, looks good, once we got the right fridge.
We ordered the 280 XCD (LPG gas version) for our off grid hut in the Snowy Mountains. Unfortunately we were sent the DC (electric) by mistake, which we discovered after we transported it 600kms from Sydney to our remote property. A week later, after throwing out the spoiled food that didn't keep in the esky, the replacement fridge arrived at a depot 2 hours away and we drove out to swap them over. So we've only had a few days with the gas version and the initial impressions are that it looks great and works well. We actually set the temp to...
Read moreo low and ended up freezing some fresh veggies in the main compartment by mistake. So it definitely works and its great to be able to run it on LPG. Bushman were a pleasure to deal with and we look forward to using the fridge for many years. Recommended.Review collected in partnership with Bushman Fridges

Off grid home use
Stylish. Keeps the cold in very well. Crisper drawer bit of an effort to open and close. Freezer space great. Haven’t used long enough to estimate cost of running. Very happy with the product.

Great fridge but
I have used lpg fridges for last forty years. I bought my first Bushman six years ago and it worked wonderfully all the time. Then the thermocouple went which is not unusual but it is difficult to replace. An irksome design fault which meant I just bought another one. Could be a better fridge.

Gas fridge
I am happy with the performance of this fridge/freezer. It works great on the lowest setting and uses less fuel than I anticipated. Good service - delivered on time complete with hose.

It is working very well and we love it
It fills in a spot where we can keep the food cool now that summer is on its way. What more can I say . It is a replacement for a bushman fridge which worked well for years and we are looking forward to this doing so.

Cool and silent
Very pleased with the fridge.
No noise at all.
Much easier to set up than we thought.
Delivery details were followed exactly and fridge arrived when and where expected.
Looks great.
In colder climates/seasons start on warmest setting and adjust as necessary. Our first try we froze some items in the fridge compartment as it cooled so much quicker and better than we expected.
We accidentally snapped off the lugs for the control panel cover at the bottom of the fridge. Bushmans quickly arranged replacements to be sent out to us.
Purchased in June 2020 at Bushman Fridges.

Great fridge
Fridge is turned down to lowest setting and is working perfectly. Had a problem with one of the hinges when swapping the doors over but Bushman had a new part to me in a couple days. Works perfectly, quiet, exactly what we needed.
Purchased in April 2020 for $2,295.00.

BushmanXCD100 fridge looks good for my Jayco campervan - do you have a recommended dealer AND installer on the Gold Coast

Hi Alan, we no longer fit out gas fridges to anything mobile - caravans, rv's, etc. They are designed for freestanding use in an offgrid situation. For mobile use we always recommend a 12V compressor fridge nowadays. Cheers, Tommy.

Just plugged my new XCD100 to test it. Is it normal for the Condenser to be too hot to touch? I'm worried that something may be wrong with it?! Please email me at - mstevens2010@bigpond.com - thankyou, Martin.

HI Martin,
Yes it should be sizzling hot!
Margaret M.asked
Hi, we are thinking of buying 100l gas frig, but as we are off grid in a small cabin, do you need to put cement sheet on the wall behind the frig.... also can the gas cylinder be placed outside... M
5 answers
I think this is a question for the manufacturer. They should be able to give you the right advice.

Hi Margaret, you can download the owners manual from our website product page under Downloads. The manual is quite lengthy as the Australian gas standards stipulate what it includes. There is a diagram in there for you too. And yes almost all of our customers keep their gas bottles outside.
We are off the grid. We have had one for the last 6 years and are very happy with it, We only have the small size - bar fridge size and it does us well as we are not here all the time and have at time used the cord to plug into the electricity with no problems.
Details
The Bushman XCD Series offers reliable LPG gas fridges designed for off-grid living that are cost effective.
The smaller gas fridges in this Bushman series are suitable for beach houses, sheds, houseboats and other off-grid dwellings where space is at a premium. The models with a larger capacity (185L and 280L) can be used on farms, holiday houses and as longer-term camping fridges.
About the Bushman XCD Series gas fridges:
- As you don’t need access to electricity to power these upright fridges, they’re cheaper to run in the long-term than their electric counterparts.
- Available in three capacities: 100L, 185L and 280L. The 185L and 280L fridges are available in two finish options; white or stainless steel.
- Option of built-in or freestanding use for the 185L and 280L models, while the smaller 100L unit is freestanding only.
