Hi. I'm in the market for a car fridge. Probably somewhere around 55L. I know Engel are a great brand but cost quite a bit more than Waeco / Dometic. I see BCF have some good specials on XTM brand. That brand has ratings of 4.5 or 4.6 / 5.0 from quite a lots of customers. Any comments? Thanks. Noel
