Dometic CFX3 75DZ Dual Zone Fridge/Freezer 75L

G'day John,

Yes, the unit can run from a 120W power outlet. They are designed to operate from 100-240V using the supplied AC cord.

G'day David,

The handles can be removed with an allen key, although there is no alternative options for tie downs.  If the fridge needs to be anchored with tie down straps, you'll need to do that through the handles.

G'day Kath,

Yes each compartment will run at whatever temperature you set them to.
If you wanted to run both in freezer or both in fridge zones, that is completely up to you!

G'day Brooke,

Literally no difference other than an additive mixed into the plastic used in the shroud, to meet the A2 compliance requirements for fridges to be sold in NSW.
The fridges are otherwise identical in every way, and the NSW A2 compliance requirements came in about 6-12months ago.
All fridges we sell are A2 compliant, there are not many retailers that would have the non-A2 compliant fridges left at all, and again, this compliance was only relevant in NSW.

G'day Tom,

Its an amendment to standard AS/NZS 60335.2.24 in NSW relating to the flammability of portable refrigeration devices.
As far as I'm aware this was introduced in 2018 with a 24 month time frame for compliance to be met, majority of these started dropping through out 2020, so all fridges currently available will now comply.

G'day Chris,

The Dometic CFX3 and Companion Dual Zone 75L are both great options.  In terms of noise, reports are they are both fairly similar in the field. The main differences really come down to the battery system, the compressor unit, warranty and overall efficiency. The Companion is still fairly new on the market, but uses the SECOP compressor that was previously used in Dometic models, and tends to be a little quieter than some of the other brands on the market. I hope that helps.

G'day Samuel,

Yes, the CFX3 75DZ Dual Zone should run from a 160W panel and 100Ah battery with no problems.

G'day Ted,

There are a few differences between the CFX3 and CFF models. The CFX3 is the more advance model with the new Dometic ACV20DC compressor, they have a longer warranty period, low voltage battery protection, and has a robust exo-skeleton with spring loaded handles. You can also connect the fridge to an app on your phone to monitor temperatures and make sure your unit is in top shape. The CFF is a budget model with a SECOP Danfoss, a shorter warranty period, and there is no low voltage battery protection.

Overall both models will serve a similar purpose, but the CFX3 has more features, and options for greater versatility.

G'day David,

Yes, the individual compartments of the CFX3 75DZ can be turned on separately, so you could leave one of the compartments off if you prefer.

G'day Luke,

There is just the one model available for CFX3 fridges, it is listed as a protective cover, but it does have some EVA insulation, and is specified to improve the efficiency of your fridge.

G'day Blanche, 

I've just checked this for you and when you extend the lid fully (vertically) it measures 89cm, hope this helps. 

G'day Elizabeth,

Yes, the hinges can be swapped over to open from the opposite side, you'll just need a phillips head screwdriver.

G'day Kieran,

The overall length without the handles is 83cm, the warranty period is 3 years on the whole unit, and an extra 2 years on the compressor.

G'day Nicholas,

The length is including the handles when they are in their folded down position.

G'day Kieran,

Wish we had an answer for that one mate!  As soon as Dometic have them available we'll get them in-store and online, but for the meantime, we're playing the unknown waiting game ;)  Fingers crossed it's soon!

G'day Kieran,

I'm just reaching out with a quick update to let you know that CFX3 covers are now available for purchase.

G'day Kieran

Great question, there are a few great new upgrades on the CFX3 models, I'll list them in no particular order; improved control panel (which is now weather protected), rugged aluminium handles (plastic in old model), new lid latch (easier to open with one hand), XOS Frame (more rugged and greater edge protection), improved basket divider and LED light, improved connectivity (new app with bluetooth, power and temperature history monitoring), improved covers (made from EVA foam and lid cover attaches and opens with lid = no velcro!!).

Specifically, on the 75DZ they are 3.3kg lighter
