Dometic CombiCool RF60 Fridge, 12 V/230 V/Gas

This was the second fridge as the first one arrived damaged. So far it is working ok and will hopefully make camping a more pleasant experience. This fridge is slightly larger than normal so will be able to keep food chilled as well as drinks.

very good in this country, it struggled in high external temperatures

Great fridge for camping, we used it this summer for three weeks of camping in glorious hot weather. We loved the ease of access ie; the door for front loading unloading rather than the top loader were you have to lift everything out to reach stuff in the bottom of the fridge. We used it on 12volt and on mains 240volt, on mains if you turn the thermostat to full you can freeze items which is good for quick initial cool down and then just turn the thermostat down. The best bit for camping it is silent you can not hear it running like others on the market the only thing that gives it away that it's running is the cooling stack at the back of the fridge gets hot, so keep away from the side of the tent. It also runs on gas but we have not got around to using it on gas yet. My wife loves it over our old noisy top loader fridge / cool box.

Best off grid fridge on the market by far. As its induction it's most efficient on gas apose to 12volts. Quite amazing a little flame can create cooling. On full power it's powerful enough to freeze food/drinks. With all gas products I recommend a professional fits the exhausts system (if using gas + buy a carbon monoxide alarm).

Be careful the gas inlet pipe does not come into contact with the black rightmost, furthest back vertical tube - this being the component inside a stainless steel housing with end exposed. The end gets extremely hot and melted a hole in the gas tubing from the bottle thus filling the vehicle with gas. The manufacturer should fit a cage over this exposed component but as it stands there is a viable risk of fire or gas explosion. Fitted inside converted Sprinter van. Added a 15KG butane gas bottle, doesn't come with gas hose or regulator. Estimate 15Kg bottle will last 40 days on full power (I believe 380grams/24hours) which is 88p/day currently. Initially gives off an odd burning/chemical smell due to being new and having a flame. Instruction manual is adequate, the flame is easy to ignite and has a small AAA battery in the ignition button. On first power-up it takes a while to show signs of working but it works a treat. The lock on the top of the door is a must as everything will fall out when in motion. Needless to say it gives off a small amount of heat as a consequence of having a small flame to cause the evaporation. This is not unwelcome most of the time as the van gets cold frequently. Thr fridge may also stop working after a period of months and requires disconnecting from the gas and inverting. This will not work indefinitely. I've downgraded it from 5 stars because it completely failed after about a year.

First one was damaged, second one does not work on 12 or 240 volts. Ruined the meat and milk and no cold drinks. Photo is after 5 hours of being plugged into the mains

We purchased this for our narrow-boat, Had it running for 3 years now off 230v hookup and 12v battery system when out on the canals. What can i say apart from its a great little fridge. It does get very cold when adjusted temp to max cooling so be careful not to freeze things!!! I would easily and happily buy this fridge again and recommend it to others looking for a boat/camping fridge!!!!!

This fridge seemed perfect at first. I have to have a fridge in the room I sleep in and it needs to be completely silent but occasionally it makes quite a loud clunking noise. This might not be a problem for someone that is a heavy sleeper but I'm a light sleeper and even though I wear ear plugs it woke me up after being asleep for a couple of hours; I had to go and sleep in another room. I will be sending it back. If it wasn't for that noise it would be perfect for me. I have another one of Dometic fridges that is a box fridge that opens on top and that makes a clicking noise too but a much quieter one that doesn't disturb me but its smaller so I guess thats got something to do with it. I much prefer this one to the box one for the size and shelves so you can see what you've got in it and also because the box one collects water at the bottom of it so I have to clean it out at least once a week. But because of the noise this one makes, I will have to stick with the box one unfortunately. Also the packaging for the box was far too tight and the box broke when the fridge was taken out and Amazon are unable to help me with sending me more packaging to return it. I am hoping Dometic will be able to send me a replacement box otherwise I may end up being unable to send it back which I am very unhappy about and I'm worried I will end up having to keep the fridge if they can't help.
