UPS delivered my CFX3 100 two days ago, I’m still mildly in shock, it’s huge. There’s no doubt if needed it will double as a small bathtub, lol. It’s just my two dogs and I when I head out into the backcountry in search of remote out of the way fly fishing spots but I usually stay out two weeks or longer. With my new bathtub I’ll be able to enjoy fresh food the whole trip. I no longer have to eat canned and dehydrated food.
Hi. Hope you're doing well. Could you please tell me you're satisfied with the product or not? I'll buy one of them and please tell me what's the problems you had during using the product. thanks in advance 🙏🙂
I cant wait to see the x3 complete walk around its like the 5 star camper in my opinion looks absolutely amazing, also love the fridge, love this set up , I personally love everything about the whole set up of patriot campers it definitely provides for all walks of life.
The #cfx3 95 is the best, I've used it in the desert camp last week and didn't need any power for a week, thanks to the #Anker 757 with solar. all cooled and good.
Don't know about this latest line up from Dometic, but based on previous models it certainly does not make the list for the best 12v fridge brand. Go with Snomaster, National Luna or Engel if you don't want to waste your money. Here's an analogy: If you want the fridge equivalent of a shiny new car with USB ports everywhere, touch screen, apple/android compatibility and don't care about the engine or driveline...then buy a Dometic.
I'm on my second SnoMaster and have had nothing but problems. They've sold out and are China based/owned company now. Quality control is terrible and they've been cheaping out big time.
@@corey5675 That's unfortunate. Appreciate the feedback and insight which may very well lead me away from the brand when I'm ready to purchase my second fridge. Looks like I may need to buy another National Luna or one of the local Australian outdoor rated fridges such as ARB Elements or Norcoast Trailbrazer. Cheers
What a perfect trailer, i wish we would have comparable in Germany, but thanks to Green CO2 madness, travelling is more and more killed by the gouvernement. We miss traveling in Australia a lot, but with the weak EURO it is not feasable any more. Best greetings to your beautifull country.
I am sure its a great fridge . Ill try it out when my Engel blows up. For the last 3 years my Engel has been sitting freely in the back of the hulix bouncing around while exploring the Vic High Country , lets see how long it last...
Don't hold your breath. Mine did that for 5 years in 2 Hiluxes and is still going strong. Now close to 20yo, Love my fridge. Don't like plastic or electronics.
christophe benjamin a lot! There is an OTR driver in YT that has his own channel and he carries the same unit inside his cab. He said he can go 6 weeks? I know it was over a month...without buying food. That’s 3 hots for 6 weeks! Already took mine out over the Colorado mountains. Love it!!! Enjoyed eating my ice cream while at my camp at 12656 feet of elevation. Get you one!
Would anybody be able to tell me the biggest Dometic CFX you can fit on a ARB DRAWER system in a Ford Ranger Next Gen ? We will be doing a dual drawer system,I have always also preferred Dometic Fridges and this will be the first time we've ever used the drawer system as we've always pre iouspy had 4wd wagons not 4wd utes ? Thanks
*My Engel MT45F-U1CD-P lasted 30 days until issues started. Engel sent me a power board but it didn’t fix it. I sent back and got another new unit. Within 30 days again it started having issues. The compressor would start for 3 seconds then stop for 3 seconds then start up. Total waste of time and money. I hope the Dometic cfx3 75DZ will not have issues.*
I got the fcx3 45. It’s a great but I don’t like that the exterior is seems like it’s made of that cheap phone covers. When scrapped the top layer comes off and you see the shiny layer underneath.
@@jaradhickey2642 I'd like to know when praise is draped over a product if there are payments under the table influencing the review. I thought a standard disclaimer about supply of the product might be worthwhile for all viewers to understand why this product was chosen over others.
Depends on the size of your van, feel free to check it out online or contact Dometic. It's a Dometic CFX3 fridge freezer. In our camper trailers it runs off the power supplied by the trailer.
@@patriotcampers Thanks guys. Sorry, one more question. I read somewhere that the display turns off after a while...which you could look as a positive or a negative. Is there a way to force the display to always stay on with temp?
Just connect the AC and DC cables to power sources together and watch the light and smoke show at full display. Hope these best-in class campers come with solid warranty and are adequately insured given this sub-standard cooler's love for causing a fire hazard. Though I doubt insurers cover boneheaded design decisions taken in China.
@Slippery Storm saw some over landers using them they had Dometic before they said they are better all around, they both seemed built about the same to me I don't own either I am looking to buy, domestic seems good if you want to pay extra to have a name brand, Iceco seems to be the reasonable better choice

Added bonus ? Hot bath when the food has been eaten !
I have the 35. Just grabbed the 95 dually. Super excited! Ecoflow mini should be more than enough
Engel... the legend in reliability
I am about to ask, how about Engel?
I do not now which one I should get, dometic or engel
Robin Sii Engel without a doubt.
Engel all day long 👍
Techni Ice for the Win!
First time buyer here , do y’all know if it drains your car battery ? Or do you need a separate one for the unit ?
I cant wait to see the x3 complete walk around its like the 5 star camper in my opinion looks absolutely amazing, also love the fridge, love this set up , I personally love everything about the whole set up of patriot campers it definitely provides for all walks of life.
Great review! Just installed one myself in our van. Appreciate the info. Your video was super helpful in making our decision.
Glad it was helpful!
Seems great. I had a Dometic fridge in my caravan, worked fine
Once again guys....Great video.....👍
The #cfx3 95 is the best, I've used it in the desert camp last week and didn't need any power for a week, thanks to the #Anker 757 with solar. all cooled and good.
Man I love you Australians!
This would be a good modification to the X1 platform. It’s still the best design IMO.

That's exactly why I buy Toyotas... I don't need all that extra crap just a rock-solid Driveline and I'm good

Great review Justin, I’ll never buy another brand, awesome bit of gear!!!
What a perfect trailer, i wish we would have comparable in Germany, but thanks to Green CO2 madness, travelling is more and more killed by the gouvernement. We miss traveling in Australia a lot, but with the weak EURO it is not feasable any more. Best greetings to your beautifull country.
I like the gshock rangeman on your wrist. I have the limited edition.. Awesome watch, and fridge!
I am sure its a great fridge . Ill try it out when my Engel blows up. For the last 3 years my Engel has been sitting freely in the back of the hulix bouncing around while exploring the Vic High Country , lets see how long it last...
Don't hold your breath. Mine did that for 5 years in 2 Hiluxes and is still going strong. Now close to 20yo, Love my fridge. Don't like plastic or electronics.
And that is the difference right there. Leave em in the blazing sun in a ute for decades. No comparison.
You drive a fxxking Hilux, say no more.
Beautiful unit! I have the 95 dual zone en route to me. Looks like it will be a nice size
I'd be curious to know how much food you can pack in it!
christophe benjamin a lot! There is an OTR driver in YT that has his own channel and he carries the same unit inside his cab. He said he can go 6 weeks?

@@HugDeeznueces thanks for the reply, I am definetly going to get one. I am hesitating between 55 and 75 Liters
christophe benjamin get the 75. Easy to fill up if you have a big group. Go bigger. You won’t regret it.
@@HugDeeznueces Thanks Rob!!
Lov this..👍👍
Yep all i run too... I have the 95!!! 😁
I am still happy with my Engel for power saving consumption
Cool!
Man if I win lotto I’m coming straight to guys for a x3 and a 2500 ram super tourer
Wilbur same bro 😂 Missus doesn't agree though 😭😭
What will be a good portable power station to pair with that running the freezer for couple of days?
PLB40
Dometic also offer portable power stations!
How does it go locked up inside the camper trailer during the hot 45 plus degrees days in northern Australia?
Not a problem!
Does it fit with the insulation cover? Looks pretty tight at the top?
How reliable is it when driving off-road when your vehicle is jumping all over the road?
Thanks.
We’ve never had an issue!
Are you sure the compressor is multi speed in this model????
Would anybody be able to tell me the biggest Dometic CFX you can fit on a ARB DRAWER system in a Ford Ranger Next Gen ?
We will be doing a dual drawer system,I have always also preferred Dometic Fridges and this will be the first time we've ever used the drawer system as we've always pre iouspy had 4wd wagons not 4wd utes ?
Thanks
I am going to get the 100 L one
Are all Dometic fridge freezer Manufactured in China?? And is it a
Chinese Brand used in Australia??? #JustAskingNeedAnswer ✌
dumb question..can you control the temp on the fridge itself and not use the app?
do any of the other Dometic fridges fit the X1 campers @patriotcampers?
CFx55
What is the watch you’re wearing? Love it
Let’s come back in 15 years and compare it to an Engel
There's always one. You Engel owners are worse than vegans.
Anthony my Engel likes meat
34 year old Engels (Alice springs twice on the back of my dads dual cab, thats 4x Sydney and back
freezes perfectly, draws 3.5 amps max
Try a trailblazer from Caloundra Aussie made ,
Engel
Thanks for the review mate but the main question is how reliable is the motor is it as
Reliable as the Engle motor? Thanks mate 👍
The Sound of Silence......whating???,,,
*My Engel MT45F-U1CD-P lasted 30 days until issues started. Engel sent me a power board but it didn’t fix it. I sent back and got another new unit. Within 30 days again it started having issues.

I m from Jordan 👍

Is this video sponsored in anyway by Dometic?
auswhofan why wouldn’t it be, they are supplied directly by Dometic 🤷♂️

How noisey are they if its under your bed
Chews the power, but i love my cfx 75w dzw
@Slippery Storm 130a/h deep cycle, 250w solar panel, Projecta dc dc 25amp charger keeps it topped up!
The rolls royce on the market
Would that fit in a van what does it run off
Depends on the size of your van, feel free to check it out online or contact Dometic. It's a Dometic CFX3 fridge freezer. In our camper trailers it runs off the power supplied by the trailer.
Can't believe how expensive a portable fridge is, can buy a good quality home fridge for a cheaper price.
does the new CFX3 55l Dometic fit the X1?
Sure does!
Can the doors open both ways?
Yep!
@@patriotcampers Thanks guys. Sorry, one more question. I read somewhere that the display turns off after a while...which you could look as a positive or a negative. Is there a way to force the display to always stay on with temp?

Hella expensive I got a bootleg fridge 54qt for 75 bucks 12v and I’m fine with it
what did you get?
eBay
nah man more expensive and not as efficient as the ICECO VL60 with a Danfoss compressor, like a lot of things Dometic is overpriced
@Slippery Storm saw some over landers using them they had Dometic before they said they are better all around, they both seemed built about the same to me I don't own either I am looking to buy, domestic seems good if you want to pay extra to have a name brand, Iceco seems to be the reasonable better choice
Can you build a van
Good morning!
activate the levendas in portuguese.
Thank you
There are many fridge freezer brands out there just as good if not better and hundreds of dollars cheaper. Overpriced.
We don't care about apps and wifi ...jesus christ ... just make stuff cold
