    I've got a cfx 40 and am very happy with it. It uses very minimal battery.

    Cfx50 here. Again love it.
    Uses bugga all power, and only went the 50 due to size and price, or it would have been a 60..

    Only thing I can nit pick, don't trust the digital read out for temp settings.. I use a thermometer in mine to keep and eyet on it, set it to 4-5 degrees which is 2 on the fridge..
    Cheers

    Is it worth getting the dual zone model?

    That's really personal preference mate and what you'll use it for..

    But if you are going dual zone, get a split system.. Not the ones with the piece of crap plate down the middle of the fridge..
    This way your only opening the side you want, not both. And the split ones are more efficient in the long term.

    Had a cfx65 for about 6 months. Hasnt been turned off, runs as a beer fridge inside. Its been great. I love it. I run it off a single battery patrol no worries. Beer is perfect set at 0-1 degree on the display.

    Considered dual zone. But I rarely have the need for a freezer.

    I can see what you are saying about the freezer having 2 doors makes a lot more sense. My mate has the Iron Man, Primus dual lid model and that is defiantly the way to go for fridge freezer.

    Consider the ARB range of fridges too mate. I borrowed one for a weekend trip and was really impressed with some of the features.

    Temp control and display at the front like it should be. Lift off lid. danfoss compressor. Very well priced.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    From what i have seen the arb fridges are more expensive. But they do seem to be a great bit of kit

    We have a 80 ltr split and I like the option to make it all fridge or a dual zone in seconds and if your worried about opening the lid on the freezer all the time just cut up a foam floor mat and throw it on top Inside the lid
