Ever wondered about those cheap 55L fridges on ebay

Well here is an amusing, and informative listing of one.

anyone have any personal experience with these??

I realise that when running, the compressor will draw more amps, and its its running time per hr that gives proper amp hr.

ya look like a bit of a goose ,Ya paid how much for it and now your complaining, what did you expect for 1/3 the price of a good fridge. The danfoss 35 compressor probably costs more than the whole fridge. Ya bought cheap and now ya bitchin makes ya look stupid. this observation is about the ebay add of coarse

I feel your pain mate. I too sometimes say things without thinking them through. When you're done mangling the english language, have another read of the original post. It was more of a "what do you think" instead of a "i've bought it and it's broken."

a bloke we go away with has the same fridge seems ok once he upraded the 12 plug it works fine the compressor draws between 5and 7 amps for first 5 mins of operation then drops to about 3 while running it cant be that bad he is buying a second one to put in his camper

the compressor draws between 5and 7 amps for first 5 mins of operation then drops to about 3 while running

My Waeco also uses 7 amps on startup. Not sure for how long though.
