    Default Engel 40 Qt. Marine Fridge Freezer

    I am considering the Engel 40 Qt. Marine Fridge Freezer. I have never owned a fridge and am wondering what your opinions are.

    What separates the "Marine" from the regular Engel?

    The amount of salt resistant materials (ie plastic & rubber) used in its constructions. Where as the older Engel units were predominately metal, from case to lid.

    Its other reason is to compete against the plastic Waeco's in the 40-50 litre class,its a very competitive bracket
    I like my Waecos but the plastic Engel is definately the sexiest looking fridge out there.
