Yskaste - watter een te kies
Gaan in nabye toekoms vir my yskas soek, maar na vele rondkyk/bel/internet opsoek, is ek steeds nie wyser nie. Kyk na 50 - 60 liter en so tussen R5 -R7000. Die yskas sal permanent in die bakkie bly, maar nie noodwendig aangeskakel wees. Hier is die make:
National Luna
Waeco
Minus 40
Engel
Kellerman
So ek is opsoek na julle opinies tov duursaamheid, kragverbruik, "after-sales service" en dies meer

Re: Yskaste - watter een te kies
Yis Van Zyl,
Ek het gelees van die val, hoop jy word gou beter.
Dis 'n moeilike besluit, ek het 'n jaar terug 'n 40 liter engel gekoop en is nie spyt nie en ek sal ook nie sommer groter gaan nie.
Charl het vir hom 'n 50 liter Ranger by M&T gekoop vir onder R3000 (sak ingesluit) en ek moet sê dit werk ook baie goed......
Good Luck!

One that has two seperate compartments and two lids, the one side must be a freezer and the other side a fridge, but the fridge side must be deep enough so that bottles can stand up in it.

Re: Yskaste - watter een te kies
Although the most expensive, NL IMO is the best out of the lot. It just seems more rugged too.
If it is to expensive for your blood, why not have a look at the Campmaster (makro).
A split door/compartment unit is nice to have but costs more and is not always a necessity.
A 40-50L fridge can hold a fair amount, a 60 has even more space for a few cold ones. An 80 is large, not only to store stuff but to store as well and that means less space for SWAMBOs' luggage (good for you not goof for her )
I reckon though they are all fairly decent units and it comes down to personal preference and needs in the end.

Re: Yskaste - watter een te kies
I have been investigating this subject over the last few weeks and still havent come to any conclusion yet.
So far i've discovered that:
With the exception of the Engel, all the others have a low voltage cut-off.
The Waeco, NL, Kellerman (same as Snomaster and Campmaster) all use the Danfoss compressor. The Engel uses a different one, which has different internal workings.
The Engel operates on the lowest amps (about 2.5) where as the others use between 3.5 and 5.
The NL apparantly has the best insulation, but is the most expensive of the lot...
The Waeco's hinges tend to wear and break but their customer service is good and they usually replace the hinges no question asked.
The Kellerman is a bit vague, it looks similar to the NL and seems to seal well around the lid. My only grip is the 'speed freeze' switch on the back looks cheap and nasty. Then again for the price what can you expect...
I still havent made up my mind :?

What I did see this weekend is that you can pick up a Kellerman 80L for the same price as a 40L in one of the other brands which make it a very attractive deal :?

Re: Yskaste - watter een te kies
National Luna is sekerlik die rolls van kaste maar daarvoor betaal jy ook die ekstra geld. Ek het 'n Engel 40l en was nog nooit 'n oomblik spyt nie. Ek stel voor jy kyk na jou behoefte en wat jou sak sal pas. Bepaal waar jy gaan kamp en waar jy die yskas die meeste sal gebruik. Kamp met 220v krag of plekke sonder krag. My Engel was nog nooit nodig gewees om op 220v oor te skakel nie weens sy lae kragverbruik. Ek stel hom op -4 grade dan hou hy die vleis gevries en die bier/koeldrank net reg. 8)

Re: Yskaste - watter een te kies
I have the Engel 40 litre model, stainless steel. Twice, I have seen guys advertising on forums for a straight swap between their new Engel 80-litre fridge for a smaller Engel 40-litre. I went and compared the two fridges side by side, because it seemed a bargain to me :) but I feel the 80-litre Engel (don't know about the other makes) is just that much too big to lug around comfortably. So I declined the offer both times.

MAke sure it is the Danfoss BD35F and not a chinese ripoff as then you are getting ripped off.

Re: Yskaste - watter een te kies
Ja, dis moeilik. As ek die keer kamp, staan ek vir 2 weke, en nie altyd waar 220V is nie. En meestal maar vir vleis vries en dan vir suiwel items (waar 2 kompartemente goed werk). My drank en ys gewoonlik in Coleman(s). Dan weet ek dis veilig

...and here it appears again!
A friend of mine made the mistake of buying a too-large fridge/freezer for his vehicle, because it was such a bargain.
He bought this spotless, once-used 80Liter Engel and used it once before he realised it is too big for his vehicle, leaving too little space for anything else, so he is looking for a swop for a 40 Litre in stead, or a sale at R7500, which is about R1000 less than the new price.
I have seen this freezer/fridge combi and it is really spotless and brand-new.
If you are interested, please phone Dougie at 082 452 4942.

Re: Yskaste - watter een te kies
My 2cw ek het n 80 Litre Waeco gekoop behalwe dat die eerste een glad nie wou aankom nie het hulle hom dadelik omgeruil. Ek moet saamstem hier is n paar valid arguments hier as ek weer kon koop sou ek n bietjie kleiner gegaan het ek dink hy is net net te groot maar nou weer aan die ander kant as jy n laaaang overlanding trip vat verkies ek hom eerder. Wat my wel afsit van die Waeco is sy seel is regtig swak ontwerp hy bly loskom en soos ons almal weet beteken n swak seel vermors van energie asook sy hinges is maar aan die flimsey kant.
Persoonlik sou ek volgende keer vir NL gaan of Engel vol Heinekins.

Frik, ek stem saam die groot goed vat baie spasie op (myne is n 80 l NL) veral in n DC bak maar jy kan meer as n kissie bierkies inpak en dan is daar nog plek vir die vleis ookfrik wrote:maar nou weer aan die ander kant as jy n laaaang overlanding trip vat verkies ek hom eerder.
Het ook al gekyk na die weekender NL en hy is weer net net te klein (vir 4 mense) en die engel 40 is te klein maar die 60 is amper net so groot soos die 74 l NL)
