Just what I was looking for. I appreciate people like yourself who are very knowledgeable and concise with product information and who does not yap away. Thanks for the information and video.
I have the CFX3 35 and it has been great. I recently purchased the CFX3 25 and while I loved the footprint / size and weight, when the compressor is running - it is much, much louder than the CFX3 35. At idle, the compressor is quiet - no issues. For car camping or tent camping, it wouldn’t work from a noise standpoint. Unfortunately, I had to return the CFX3 25.
@@SnowysOutdoors Not too sure about smaller dimensions being the factor. I have a CFX3 35 and it has been great. The compressor on the 35 sounds completely different than the 25 compressor. The 35 compressor isn't silent when running but it makes a sort of gurgling / louder humming sound - which is not a problem in a quiet room/tent/car during sleep time. Not so for the 25 - we tried sleeping with it in the same room and had to move it into another room - it's definitely quiet when the compressor isn't running but when the compressor ramps up to cool the 25 down, it makes too much noise. Too bad because we loved the size/foot print of the 25. I don't think the 25 would be a problem for someone keeping it away from a sleeping area.
All the specs are on our website, JN CN, that would be the best place to compare dimensions. Check them out here: www.snowys.com.au/cfx3-25-portable-fridge-freezer-25l www.snowys.com.au/cfx3-35-portable-fridge-freezer ~ Ben
I'm not sure what you mean by an RV refrigerator. This is a 12V fridge that can be used in 4WD's, caravans and RV's, so it may be the same thing only has a top loading chest configuration rather than a front opening upright configuration. ~ Ben
@@SnowysOutdoors they aren’t Lexus branded, but if you go to there website and build your own car (I did and SUV: I chose hybrid RX luxury to compare prices) under accessories there’s a coolers and freezers drop down menu. There they are the Dometic line of refrigerators. See if you can find it. TBH never considered a small fridge in a car/SUV before, maybe good idea for long road trips
Hi! I have this model I have a QR code on the display. I scanned it with 619 app but gives an error. The factory reset function didn’t work! What to do?😓
Hi Ben, Dometic WSite say that the unit can be connected to solar panels? Is that the case and how does that work? I do not see a connector, so my panels go to my controller then what? Thx!
It's a miscommunication on Dometics part I think @Coyotehello - we've had this question before. Solar refers to Offgrid Solar 12v/DC systems. The fridge itself doesn't have a built in battery, which is required to direct run from Solar Panels. ~ Lauren
Could be a number of reasons - being on the back of your ute, could have a blocked or super dusty compressor causing overheating. I'd be taking it to your closest refridgeration mechanic for a check-up www.dometic.com/en-au/support/maintenance-upgrade-or-service/service-locator ~ Lauren
can anyone pls tell me will these devices cause a problem if we operate them in a camping box that we will place in the trunk of a vehicle such as a pego rifter or a citroen berlingo? These are single cabin vehicles. Is there a sound problem? how much noise do they make? and in a closed environment, will the motors (compressors) experience loss of efficiency?
You can use these in a vehicle as you mention, it is safe to do this unlike a gas powered fridge with should no be used in a confined space. You will notice the noise, if you are sleeping in the car you will hear a quiet hum on and of during the night. As for efficiently, there will be a loss of efficiency if they are operating in a hot space as they need to dissipate heat in order to operate at their best, so try and ventilate the vehicle cabin as best you can. ~ Ben
It is designed to run from a vehicle rather than as a standalone fridge, You can run it as such but this requires an external battery and a method to charge the battery i.e. solar, all of which adds versatility to any setup. ~ Ben
@@MrCarribdis If you purchased it from Snowys we'd love to help get this sorted. We're not authorised to do the assessment on fridges, but we can certainly get onto Dometic & help make it happen.
