Looking a buying a proper portable fridge, as we feel our powered coolbox doesn't adequately do the job for a full fortnight. However, European prices are much better, and with Obelink providing a cheap delivery service, we have thought about going down that route.
Has anyone else done this, and do you simply use a EU/UK converter plug? Would you recommend it?
Thanks

Yep Bryan, that imho is a better buy than the Mobicool C40 as it has the Digital Display, can you confirm that the required Tempreture can be set by using Push Button controls, and not just a simple Rotary Thermostat control, as as found on the Mobicool C40 and early version of the Waeco model.
It is also good to see that the Waeco version is now available in the UK, good find on your part.
You have obviously got the Hybrid version that acts as a Cooler when on 12v, Waeco also do a Mains only none 12v none Hybrid model of the CK40D which would be my model of choice, although that model is only available from retailers in Germany I found, mores the pity.
At £50 more than the Mobicool C40, the Digital Display and Settings of the CK40D are a nice additional feature, and probably worth the extra to some.

Think we paid a bit more, but included the stand as well. Delivery had gone up to €17, but it still worked out worth it.
It's the C40, as we wouldn't get any use out of the 12v, as it's too large to put anywhere accessible in the car.
Just need to book somewhere to test-drive it now before our main holiday.
