EvaKool Platinum

Bought a 175l platinium evakool 3weeks ago. compressor keeps runningall the time. Using
5amps every hour. That's almost twice the advertised usage. Apart from not working as it should , it looksgood.
To continue my review.
Just spoke to Evakool office at sunshine coast , was told that I have to pay the transport cost for bringing their faulty fridge for repair???

I bought one of these fridges 3 years ago, in that time had a total use of approximately 9 months. Went to use it for a weekend, fridge started but would not cool down. Had it checked out the report was internal gas leak faulty controller and compressor. Buyer beware poor quality components.

It runs like a charm. But I have a major banging noise like the motor is banging. That happens when it’s a hot day. Power supply? Rang service and they had no idea. Must see it and test it. Yer right and then they don’t find the problem. No thanks. It’s still running and still banging loud with the heat, even one year later.
I’ve blown a fuse a couple of times but to reset is a simple press of a button from the back of fridge.
Have had it for 2 years now. Am wondering if it’s anything like my other fridges which only last 2/3 years before they brake down completely.

We have owned 2 Evakool DC210's and the first in 2015 was EXCELLENT... The latest unit is disappointing because they have changed the control system and it is totally erratic with temperature variation that is unacceptable...I have contacted Evakool and they say this is normal... rubbish.
The fridge is quite capable but the fridge will run at 3 degrees then stick on 7 to 8 degrees then back to zero?!?!
We have lost food, particularly veggies, from freezing to to hot. It also ice's up too much where we Have to defrost far more often than the previous versions...
Good fridge but beware...

This is my third fridge in my caravan and beats the other two hands down ( Original Elecrtolux 3 way and the rubbish Waeco 135 litre) uses heaps less power and has thick insulation to stop it running non stop. Although only 12v I have also wired up the 240v/12v inverter so that I can hook it up to the 240v power at caravan parks. I am so happy with it I got rid of my waeco car fridge and also bought the dual zone 75 litre car fridge.

Have now been travelling for three months with our brand new EvaKool Platinum 12 Volt Compressor Upright Fridge Freezer and it is performing well. The unit that was shipped to us we found we had trouble adjusting the temperature as it kept freezing the vegetables. We visited the EvaKool office in Caloundra Qld & was given the option to remove it & leave it with them to test & adjust (did not suit as we were living in the van) So instead they sent us away for three days while they pulled a new unit out of stock & conducted the complete tests on it (up ambient 47C!). Called us back, from camping on the Showground at Caboolture, to swap our unit for the new one & no charge! Very satisfied with the after sales service.
