12v Oven at Dick Smith Special Again.....

[rusty_nail]

Just been informed by Trickie Dickies that they are unable to fill my order due to no stock, and through the kindness of their benevolent hearts (cue sarcasm) have offered a full refund. I've let my displeasure be known through messaging their FB page and left negative feedback on eBay. I should have had it delivered, hindsight is a wonderful thing...lol

bad luck mate, oh well unfortuantely youve done all you could. you bit of feedback will actually hurt them in the long run, if the gives you a little bit of closure lol.

Saw the exact same oven on 'SPECIAL' for $50 at the Outdoors Expo on the weekend. So much for show 'SPECIALS', glad I got mine three years ago.

Update.....

Sometimes it pays to be a pedantic pri@k. I wouldn't accept a refund and said to Trickie Dickies that they should send me one in good faith after all the crap that has ensued. So they have. Just received an email stating the stove will be shipped by Toll today, seems they have stock after all (just not any to send to the stores to pickup). So when (if) I get it, it'll have cost me $15.79 (as they didn't charge me for freight). Nice to see there are some people still willing to provide customer service....

And it turned up today....

Just tried it out. The inside gets hot very quickly as does the wiring. I would have expected the wiring to be at least 15A rated, looks more like 10A. I guess there's a wiring modification coming up.......

I saw in another thread that someone changed the wiring, I think 6mm twin is the way to go terminated on an Anderson plug (got a few spare). Just need to figure out how to open it up....lol

I find hammers are very useful for that operation

Anderson plug is a bit of an overkill. A merit plug would be ample for these.
