Now after extensive research and product development around the CFX range, we've
come up with some fantastic results. We figure if we test it in the harshest of
Australian conditions it's going to last pretty much anywhere
and in any situation. Whether you're four wheel driving, camping, fishing, maybe taking the
family away for an extended holiday in this vast country of ours, or for those
everyday normal chores. You can be sure you've got a reliable fridge on board.
The CFX range has the next generation of features, including rugged construction,
innovative technology and of course effective cooling. Now, firstly to the lid.
It's made from polypropylene, just like the rest of the fridge, so it's extremely
durable and the lid will stay open while you pack the fridge itself. The hinges on
the lid are made from diecast stainless steel and are built to withstand extreme
amounts of pressure. Now with this clever design should you place too much
pressure on the lid, it will come away from the unit. To place the lid back on,
simply clip it to the hinges, like that. To optimise the way you open your fridge
in your vehicle, the lids in our three largest models are designed so you are
able to hinge them from either side. You take your lid off and you just simply
remove these hinges from here to the other side of the fridge. The lid has a
sturdy lid latch to open and close the fridge with compression springs for a
smooth action the positive latching action provides for the strong gasket
sealing which improves the insulation and contributes to the energy efficiency
of the fridge to close. To close the lid, simply push the latch down until you hear a
click. Now moving on to the handles, these are spring-loaded and leave plenty of
room for your hands and knuckles. And they come factory fitted, now when
they're not in use, they sit flush with the unit. So they're strong and ideal to
use as tie-down points. The CFX range has extremely efficient cooling and low
power draw, this is for a number of reasons. Firstly, it's polypropylene
construction, which just like its predecessor the Waeco CF has very low
heat absorption. The next very important reasons are of course the insulation and
the fridge seal. Just like your fridge at home, the seal is very important in
keeping your fridge cool. Up here in the lid we have a generous 10 ml lid seal
gasket, which has internal air pockets, which further improve the sealing
function. Add to this, the positive latching action gasket sealing, plus the
extra thick polyurethane insulation, they all contribute to the
energy efficiency of the fridge. Another important reason to the cooling
performance and low power draw of the CFX fridge freezer is the genuine Waeco
compressor. The Waeco compressor has been designed specifically for Australian
conditions, this is after years of testing and product development to
provide our end-users with the most efficient technology
available. Like its predecessor, the Waeco CF range, the new CFX range has inherited
the clever VMSO function, although this time it has been improved for further
efficiency. VMSO is short for Variable Motor Speed Optimisation. Basically it
means that the motor speed will vary according to the set temperature, as soon
as the set temperature has been reached it reverts back to economy mode and stays
at the set temperature. The result is fast and energy efficient cooling with
less wear and tear on the compressor. The compressor of course features inbuilt
240 volt and three-stage battery protection. The battery protection is
monitored from the control panel, you can set it to low, medium or high depending
on the vehicle you're driving, or what battery system you have in your vehicle.
So when you're running your fridge on 12 volt, the inbuilt battery protection and
electronics senses if the power is running low and automatically shuts off,
leaving enough power in your starter battery to start your vehicle again.
Now while most four wheel drives have a dual battery system, this is by no means a
requirement of the Waeco CFX range. With its three-stage battery protection, it's
ideal to be used in vehicles with a single battery. The control panel is
angled which makes it easy to read and operate. We have used blue LED in the
display so the temperature can also be read in sunlight, which is a clever
feature. These buttons also have child resistant locking facility so you can
set and forget. Another very clever feature is that the control panel has
intentionally been placed at opposite ends from the power entry, this design
feature was implemented based on feedback we received from four wheeled drivers
with fridge slides and draw sets in their vehicles who wanted to view the
temperature on the front of the fridge whilst the cables will be connected to the
back. An added feature here is the cord organiser for the 12-volt plug, which
keeps it neat and tidy in your vehicle as well as maintains a solid connection
at the plug. The fridge ofcourse comes with 240 volt AC mains and 12 to 24 volt
DC vehicle connections and leads. Another great feature onboard is a USB
charging outlet, this means you can charge your mobile phone, tablet or
camera for instance, whenever the fridge is connected to either 12, 24 volt DC or
240 volt AC. The range is available in five models. The CFX 35, the 40, the 50, the
65 and the 65 dual-zone. Starting with the CFX 35, now this has got a
34.5 litre capacity. It's a single zone fridge freezer and it's got
a capacity for 47 cans and a standard champagne bottle standing upright.
The CFX 35 and the 40 can both fit four cans across each way. The CFX 40 is also a
single zone so it could be used as either a fridge or a freezer. This one's
got a 41 litre capacity and can hold 60 cans. Moving along, we've got the
CFX 50, this again is a single zone so you can
use it as a fridge or a freezer. It's got a 50 litre capacity and can hold 72 cans.
Now the largest model in the range is the CFX 65, now this comes in both single
and dual zone. Now the single zone, again, can be used as a fridge or freezer. It's
a 65 litre capacity and holds 106 cans. The CFX 65 dual zone is
both fridge and freezer at the same time. You've got a 42 litre capacity fridge
and a 19 litre capacity freezer. It comes with two baskets and the freezer has its
own lid. All models feature a dairy compartment for your perishables. The
single zone models come with a basket with a removable divider. The flush
mounted evaporated plate makes it especially easy to clean and so does the
drain plug. The interior features a long life multi-point
LED light with a magnetic switch that turns on or off when the fridge is open
and closed. The Waeco CFX fridge freezers come with a 3-year component and service
warranty Australia-wide and we're so confident in the Waeco compressor we
offer an additional 2 years so that's 5 years warranty on the compressor
alone. And with close to 300 Service agents
Australia-wide, you can't go wrong.
