Bushman 280L Top Mount

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!

Amazing fridge – Very happy with this fridge. Easy delivery and set up. We use it at our weekender, so only put it on when we are there. Chills within a few hours. Highly recommend this whisper quiet fridge. Show details ·  1

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. No regrets Show reply

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!

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

perfect, no frozen fruit or veggies, just right! Customer services was second to none! We love the fridge/freezer and we would highly recommend it!

Just great to have a bigger fridge – After having a much small gas fridge,this one is great for a family of 5,has enough space to Stock up for a week,working fantastic,for us,would buy again love it fantastic Show details ·  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. The size is great (family of 4) however I did overload the door… Read more ·  1

Highly recommend this fridge for those living off-grid.

Great fridge – I had my doubts about getting 3 months from a 45kg gas bottle with the 280ltr fridge, but tomorrow is 3 months since I hooked the fridge up. No problems with reliability so far. Show details ·  1

Well made and does a perfect job – I wanted to support a local company and not disappointed. It is well made, and dealing with each stage of purchase was excellent. Need a gas fridge, buy a Bushmans.  Show details ·  1

Great for our needs – We have only used once. Delivered nearly to our door. Great size. Freezer freezes so fast even on hot day. Shelves could be more variable for user needs. Limited large bottle area  Show details

Great large fridge – Great fridge, great size... The company a pleasure to deal with and very helpful with any of your problems. We we using the old fridge as an esky for over a mo th till Bushman came to the rescue..... A big thankyou

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… Read more

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 too 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.

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.

Excellent XCD 280 frdige freezer! – Great fridge /freezer. One 9kg bottle lasts 17 days... thats $22 on refill (dont go to BP!) Super cold fridge and freezer. No noise at all. Best suited in outdoor undercover area. Excellent appliance and excellent service from Bushman team. Thankyou guys. Show details

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… Read more

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.

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. Show details

Works perfect in our off grid house even at 36.c inside on 2/4 setting – Very good operations and design - much better than the 40 year Electrolux model that I am selling off as surplus to our needs. Would recommend bushman fridges to anyone needing an off grid unit. Show details

Exactly what I was looking for – Happy all around with this fridge. Only a small niggle is the vegetable tray sticks when sliding in and out. Great size freezer, really worth getting the bigger size. What an excellent company to deal with too. Love that they are Australian family business. Would highly recommend. 5 stars from me! Show details ·  1

280 XCD – This fridge is beyond my expectations. Client service and backup is excellent. Gas usage is better than expected. Overall the fridge is well packaged and very easy to setup and maintain. The instruction manual is easy to follow and very well written. Highly recommended Show details

A huge improvement on the Old Consul (about 30 years old) and works excellently! – Cold? Will freeze in the food compartment, works so well! Once you adjust it right, Perfect! The S/Steel surface needs to be cleaned regularly, doors fine, we haven't had any problems other than finding a fitting for the gas inlet when we first got it. Show details

we couldnt live without it – easy to operate we go from electric to gas daily and have no problems .We have two one for food and one for beer and I better have a beer now .We enjoy an ice cold beer straight out of the fridge winter or summer ,Up here in the NQ,  Show details

Perfect for off grid living. Economical running – Excellent cooling. To cold on full. Perfect at about one third. Very quiet. Easy to clean and the light inside is a bonus. Freezer is a very good size and works wonderfully. These Bushman fridges have no competition in the market. We have a domestic 3 way fridge freezer as well but it does not have half the storage space.  Show details
