If you're looking for a portable fridge, Evakool is right up there with the top brands. Our Evakool Fridge Review reveals why.
A Bit of Background
You could say that Evakool are pioneers in the caravan fridge world. This family-owned Aussie business has been in the fridge game for over 30 years, which means 30 years of gathering experiences and feedback from those who use their fridges - all with the aim of building fridges that are reliable and robust enough to handle all the climates and conditions Australia can throw at us.

What Makes Evakool Stand Out
There's a lot to like about this Australian brand, as you'll see from our Evakool fridge review below. Here's what makes them stand out from the rest:
-
Evakool has a fridge for practically every Australian - RVs, farmers, campers, tradies, mobile businesses, event organisers... you get the gist!
-
Each fridge has been thoroughly tested to perform in the Australian environment. They're tough, durable and designed to deal with scorching summers that regularly soar over 40+ degrees.
-
Evakool's fridges are assembled & commissioned right here in Australia on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland!
-
Evakool's entire range is backed by a nationwide service agent and spare parts support network. So, you're in safe hands for any warranty repair or spare part requirements.
-
Evakool fridges boast a very spacious setup for more effective ventilation. This is very important for your compressor to perform with optimal efficiency.
-
Evakool has cleverly designed their fridges with vibration resistant mounting, which means the fridge can withstand more bumps on the road.
-
Evakool's purpose-designed compressor is a class above. It's tough to get a compressor that performs reliably in Australian conditions while still providing optimal running efficiency. But Evakool has nailed it.

Evakool Fridge Review: Evakool Fibreglass Range
At the top end of the Evakool offering is the Fibreglass range. These fridges are designed with Australian conditions in mind. With beefed up insulation, they will perform well even in extremely hot environments. No need for an external fridge cover on these fridges; the insulation will keep the cool air inside and the hot air outside. So, your fridge compressor doesn't have to work as hard to keep your drinks cool, meaning you save power and the compressor has a longer life. Win, win.
Evakool's Fibreglass range will also get cooler faster than plastic cabinet fridges. And they don't absorb smells, which makes them a popular choice for fishing trips.
Granted, the price tag is slightly higher for these models, but the advantages make it worthwhile. Especially when you weigh in that every fridge is Australian made and comes with a 5-year warranty.
-
If you need a tough fridge, the Evakool Fridgemate has got you covered. These models are built tough with an extra thick polyethylene exterior. It's no wonder they're the portable fridge of choice for tradesmen, farmers and hunters. Simply strap it in the back of your ute and rest easy in the knowledge that it will withstand flying objects hitting the exterior.

The newest of the Evakool range, the Down Under Series includes three models: a 47L single zone, 75L dual zone and 95L dual zone.

Our Verdict
Evakool might not be as well known as Dometic or Engel, but our Evakool fridge review proves they're definitely worthy of the same consideration.
