"Over the years, we've come to realise that you can't beat the best when choosing outdoor equipment. From our rods and reels to the vehicles we drive and the clothing we wear, we demand the very best. In the field of portable fridge-freezers that means there's only one possible choice - Engel!" |

Paul Lucas - Winner of our Testimonial Competition, MT45F-S Anniversary Edition 40 Litre, Queensland, Australia
I bought a MRFT-530 in 1976 after reading a magazine article on portable camping fridges. My experience since has certainly vindicated their recommendation. It has had many uses during its long, and harsh, life. During my Army Reserve service with an armored reconnaissance regiment it was strapped into the back of an armored personnel carrier and powered from the main battery. It was subjected to vibration and constant pounding as we traveled across country and never missed a beat. It also served in Land Rovers and trucks. The only repair during its 30 years of service was a panel-beating job. During the late 70's whilst assisting in the Sunraysia Desert Rallies, it took a pounding in the back of a pickup truck. The Engel was severely deformed and I expected the worst. However after dismantling the outer metal shell and panel beating it roughly back into shape I found that it still worked as well as ever. Since then it has done sterling service on camping trips, been loaned out to work mates for fishing trips, and in between comes out for parties and BBQs where it serves as a drinks fridge. My best purchases ever! This Entry also included a copy of the original receipt. |

Stephen Langman - Clare, South Australia
My name is Stephen Langman and I have a great passion for the Simpson Desert-not just the normal travelled sections that everyone gets to see, but places that are rarely visited. This year I had 3 caps on when I mapped the Hay River section of the Northern Simpson Desert, 1 when I carried out a complete mapping survey for Hema Maps in Queensland, 2, a detailed written history of the area to be included in John Deckert of Westprint Maps in Victoria New CD of the Hay River area and 3 when my full details were published on ExplorOz web site. When you are in true remote parts of the desert that I get to, I demand the very best, as there is no second chances with fridge reliability. My old Engel has put to shame the new plastic type so called car fridges that have just stopped working. At the end of the day, I can rely on my Engel to give me cold drinks and fresh food, no questions asked. Next year I am again heading into the remote sections of the Simpson, to Geosurveys Hill and The Geographical Centre of the Simpson where there are no roads to follow at all for Hundred's of Kilometres. It would be even better with a new and bigger Engel Fridge on this longer trip. |
