Decided I need one before the end of the week and my recent Towsure order came in very quickly.

Just checking that this is just the Waeco Combicool 40 with their label on ?

I want this model because my brother's has worked very well for 10 years.

... and are there really two models ?

I've seen CAB40 and CAB40B mentioned - one appears to be 75 watts, the other 100 watts ...

The CAB40 cools to 30 degrees below ambient temp, and the CAB40B only cools to 20 degrees below, so on a hot summer's day, the latter may struggle a bit. I've just bought the CAB40 and am really pleased with it.

IIRC the older model (which was blue and they now seem to be badging CAB40B) cooled to 25 degrees below not 20.

We had one and it did OK, it was absolutely fine most of the time in the UK and just about coped in France. If I was buying new I'd stump up the extra for the 75w (30 degree) version unless I was very sure I wouldn't be leaving the UK with it.

The CAB-40B is definitely only 20°C below - see here

It's not comparing like-for-like - a 5°C differential is the difference between safe and non-safe storage of foodstuffs.

always be alarmed when something says "up to" , "use as necessary", "may" ,"could" and "repeat application may be necessary" etc

Very true - it is for this reason that it is wise to give yourself as much safety margin as possible.

That's a different model again to the one we had (which was a couple of years ago), I'm pretty sure that ours was 25 degrees below.
