I’ve been debating for a while now as to which fridge/freezer to buy, and I’ve researched almost every model extensively. Having stumbled across your review, I now know exactly which one I’m going to invest in. Thanks for a detailed review in real time, and helping me decide. It’ll be going into a 1987 Pete 359, probably lengthways across the bottom of the bunk. Be safe out there and roll on brother 😃
Ian Kirkpatrick awesome brother, glad it helped. I remember debating as well and looked at this one. since there was no review I had to do it. Best fridge ever still 2 years and kicking. got to make your life on the road comfortable.
Hamlet Dubois 33yrs on the road, on 3 continents.....and countless number of useless “truckstop” coolers.....none of which are worth the money I paid for them!! You’re review was “right on the money” for me. It was nice to see a review that wasn’t made 10 mins after buying it!! Your review to me was awesome, and 20mins ago I ordered from Amazon.......it’ll be waiting for me when I get home.
Sorry for the late reply to you guys......BUT, you gotta buy this fridge/freezer!!! It’s been 2 yrs now and I’ve only one complaint so far, and that is I should’ve bought this damn thing sooner!! Now, pros and cons....cons first!! It’s big......way bigger than you could imagine, and heavy!! Pros....it paid for itself within 2mths!! I cook at home and vacuum seal my meals flat, and that enables me to take 42 days of meals...do the math 72 days x $20 at a restaurant x 2 = $1,440.....inc shipping it cost me $1,399..... This beast, although large and bulky, is quite possibly the best investment I’ve ever made. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to any of you drivers who are thinking of buying one.....GO FOR IT, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed in your purchase. If it had a star ⭐️ rating I’d give 11/10 its THAT good!! Everyone please keep safe, especially in this current pandemic, and thank you to all my fellow brothers and sisters for doing what we do best.....keeping everyone clothed, fed and warm. Without us, the WORLD would stop!!
I just bought one of these for my Kenworth T680, I got the older CFX-95DXUS was told the only difference between that and the new CFX-DZW was the W stood for WiFi, got the fridge today and it also has a WiFi app that you can control all of it on your phone and get alerts if the temp rises above what you set it at. so far I love it!
Cool fridge there!! I got the mini fridge with the tiny freezer on top for frozen veggies at Walmart for $59.00 works great 😁 I just wish the freezer was bigger to put more frozen veggies in there like my Broccoli, Spinach, and frozen Lama Beens!!!
The Low Medium High is only for battery voltage cutoff, it is there to protect your battery when you turn off vehicle. Low would run your battery down a lot more before cutting off, ok with diesel dual batteries, high or med for passenger cars single battery.
Your trucker videos are the best hands down, I wish you install my power inventor I saw your video you did such a great job I’d pay obviously but you wouldn’t have time just wishing out laud, as far this fridge I know it’s expensive but it worth every penny you made it clear for me I’ve been thinking buying it for a while now, thank you for the great videos, you the best!
Thanks for sharing your video. That fridge is a monster! I'm going to see if there's a smaller version available. I really like the layout better than a traditional fridge. Again, thanks for the info!
Grrreeeeaaat video thanks for the info I have spent 1100 bucks on frig from Walmart. Looks like it has plenty of room I've been buying 4.5 cubic so I think would be great thanks again
@@superfly4137 i did buy one and was great same as he says, but i sold it 6 months after i when to Drive locally. It was good having frozen food all times.
bought one a couple months back and picked it up when i ran through the house. Pulled the passengers seat out, know yall are team but i aint crawlin over my fuckn freezer 😅
The Dometic CFX 95 is currently unavailable on Amazon and they don't know when it will be coming back. I have one of these and it is a pretty good refrigerator. It is very large. for a chest referigerator. One good thing I can say about it is that it is dual zone.
no doubt bro, I remember how skeptical I was too. But I will make this purchase over and over again on how satisfied I am with the product and how comparable it has made life pre. Don't forget to like and subscribe. As well share it to any of your trucking buddies glad I can help
Correct me if im wrong guys but upon further research the model in this view is cfx 95 however when i press the link in the description it takes me to cfx 28...a completely different model. When i searched google this cfx 95 model is running at no joke $1,500 😳
Dometic has good service for their regular fridge models but they suck for the portables. I’m looking at Truckfridge because the compressor is superior and their service (I think) is out of Arizona.
Those are nice but too big for me. I still have my Colman 40qt chiller I got over 20 years ago. The motor failed so I used a computer fan and a 8000rpm motor for the inside fan and it will make ice crystal's form in milk it gets so cold now. I also got a 31qt iceco fridge/freezer I use for my frozen foods that tucks nicely in that open spot in the cascadia. My Colman sits next to me while I drive so I just reach in for a cold drink or whatever snacks are in there.
Hey Hamlet, just picked up a Sprinter w/one of these in it from the PO. Wondering if you still have it and how it’s running now. I’ve only got a week on it, so have limited experience. Thanks man, and keep safe.
I've seen comments online about this fridge/freezer malfunctioning when communication devices like a cb radio are used. Have you had any issues like this?
Yes your right they still are. Probably because the weight and size of it. They also changed the color scheme to gray and black as well as the huge price increase yikes
Thanks man for this video ... I click on the link Down Under the v showing me CFX95DZW . Is this is the same the one you have ? $1,068.79 How's the fridge so far it's come with warranty Thank you man appreciate
I'm in a Cascadia ATM and am thinking of getting this one or the 65 litre dz one, I'm solo, was thinking on the passenger seat but I think it's too long. I'm also contemplating the end of my bunk and am wondering if the lid will be able to open. What's the dimensions on the lid? I'll probably use the big one for freezing cause I like to shop at Costco for my frozen fruit and veggies for cooking and smoothies (I have a Vitamix blender)
Hamlet - yeah idk if the smaller one could accommodate the truly staggering variety of frozen stuff I'm used to keeping on hand. I'm basically going from being a housewife with access to two side by side fridges and a stand alone freezer, to being a trucker... It's quite a culture shock
Bruhh if you need a fridge that big on the road! You need to get off the road, period!!! This is for the driver’s that literally don’t go home. There’s a line where too much goes past enough.
Peltier coolers work meh, they have gotten me sick more than once.plus every one ive had has shit out in a number of months or never worked good in th first place. Buy once cry once. I bought an Arb cost: $1100 worth every penny
Yeah, but it's good shit! I bought a CFX65DZ, received it Friday. It takes no electricity to speak of. Very efficient. Say you buy a $100 cooler. Say you buy 2 bags of ice per week, $6 x 52 weeks in the year, $312. At the end of year one, you have already spent $412!!! At the end of year two, $724. At the end of year three, $1036. By this point, you will wish you had invested in a Dometic.

Tao33316 I was joking! But if I didn’t have a wife or kids I would do the same! I’m such a minimalist. But I just can’t spend that kind of money on a cooler. But I’m not in the road long enough to warrant having one
I have a truck fridge too. 4.25 cubic foot, and a 1.75 drawer that I set to freeze. Paid $1000 for both. I have had them for 4 years and they are still running great, right off the battery. Need to p/u the a/c adapters for when I park and not running the truck for shore power. Best investment I ever made. Took out the cabinet behind my driver seat, and both sit comfy.

Yay! Someone that showed me the amps and volts! Thank you!!
The low med high is for the low voltage cut off. So it doesnt kill your battery.
For example only, low could be 11.1
Med 11.6 high 12.1volt
I just bought one of these for my Kenworth T680, I got the older CFX-95DXUS was told the only difference between that and the new CFX-DZW was the W stood for WiFi, got the fridge today and it also has a WiFi app that you can control all of it on your phone and get alerts if the temp rises above what you set it at. so far I love it!
Vons Motorwerks ahhh okay I was wondering that. yeah bro these fridges are the best for sure
Download the Dometic CFX app, hit the set button 5 times to turn on the wifi on the box, the app will walk you through the rest.
Cool fridge there!! I got the mini fridge with the tiny freezer on top for frozen veggies at Walmart for $59.00 works great 😁 I just wish the freezer was bigger to put more frozen veggies in there like my Broccoli, Spinach, and frozen Lama Beens!!!
Most in-depth and useful review I’ve seen of the dometic fridge. Thank you!👍🏽
This is a VERY good fridge and yours is the best hands-on review on UA-cam for this puppy. Thanks!
thanks for the support brother i tried my best
The Low Medium High is only for battery voltage cutoff, it is there to protect your battery when you turn off vehicle. Low would run your battery down a lot more before cutting off, ok with diesel dual batteries, high or med for passenger cars single battery.
I drive truck also I do flatbed because of this video I'm going to buy me to 95 version. Thank you for your time I appreciate it
Low, Med or High function is the unit cutoff as the battery drains check manual, but Low~~10.5VDC / High~~12.1VDC. Good review!!! Thanx.
Great video with lots of info. You've solved a problem many truckers have. Thanks!
I bought the cfx50 about 2 months ago. Have no regrets so far
clint bg awesome that's the smaller one if I remember correctly? glad it's working out for you

Hey man i watched your video when you first made it and wanted to thank you it helped me make a good fridge decision for the long run.
Thank you Men i was looking to purchase a fridge but this help me. And i saw it has a different size. Thank you Boy. 👌
I was going to buy this one, thought it was going to be too big. Purchase the Whynter 62 instead, you can carry plenty of food in that 95 quart
checking out your older videos. looks like you have a nice setup.👍
haha thanks bro, got to be comfatble OTR

You are. So.cute.. And I love your hair
Great review man, looks like a very well build product too!
Thanks man!!!! Ive been debating on weather or NOT to buy this freezer for my truck . Its in ny Amazon cart but i was a little skeptical
no doubt bro, I remember how skeptical I was too. But I will make this purchase over and over again on how satisfied I am with the product and how comparable it has made life pre. Don't forget to like and subscribe. As well share it to any of your trucking buddies glad I can help
Hamlet Dubois will do
Hamlet Dubois what do you think about the ELD electronic log book coming up by the government what's your opinion
Anthony Johnson I would love to make a response video to this in two days. thanks
get a good brand, truckfridge, arb, engel, if you want it to last more than a year or two.
Correct me if im wrong guys but upon further research the model in this view is cfx 95 however when i press the link in the description it takes me to cfx 28...a completely different model. When i searched google this cfx 95 model is running at no joke $1,500 😳

Great info👍🏻. Thank you!!
New sub great video 900 is a good price I have an Engel it cost the same might1/4 size
Wow I going to have look on that
The great review
Great Video 👌👌
Does it fit under the bottom bunk or is it to tall
That is my question as well
For solo drivers it would fit perfect if you removed the passenger seat ans put it there
Helpful video
good deal..
rambo lambo thanks for watching
Hey Hamlet, just picked up a Sprinter w/one of these in it from the PO. Wondering if you still have it and how it’s running now. I’ve only got a week on it, so have limited experience. Thanks man, and keep safe.
Still kicking sir, I literally can't complain. I wash it out about once every 3 months
I've seen comments online about this fridge/freezer malfunctioning when communication devices like a cb radio are used. Have you had any issues like this?
Infinite Traveler never had that issue but I know what interference you are talking about
Nice frig
The CFX95 is currently unavailable on Amazon and they don't know when it will be coming back.
Yes your right they still are. Probably because the weight and size of it. They also changed the color scheme to gray and black as well as the huge price increase yikes
I was wondering what are the measurements of the lids of the fridge/freezer when you lift them up in the open position please...
will get u that info
Nice...I appreciate it
???
Thanks man for this video ...
I click on the link Down Under the v showing me CFX95DZW .
Is this is the same the one you have ? $1,068.79
How's the fridge so far it's come with warranty
Thank you man appreciate

Debbie O'Brien the lid can open if you put the fridge at the end of your bed. I tried that setup
Debbie O'Brien the smaller version would defiently be handy for a solo driver for sure
Hamlet - yeah idk if the smaller one could accommodate the truly staggering variety of frozen stuff I'm used to keeping on hand. I'm basically going from being a housewife with access to two side by side fridges and a stand alone freezer, to being a trucker... It's quite a culture shock
Debbie O'Brien yeah that was a deciding factor when I was choosing between the two. Eating fast food gets old real quick
How much watts does your power inverter need to be for truck fridges/freezer?
That truck looks cozy🤗
got to make it like your home
Im gonna take my old factory fridge out. Use the space for this fridge way more room bigger freezer . I love my ice cream
If you have a Volvo 780, can’t it go under the table area also?
This video is a year and a half old. Do you still recommend the Dometic CFX 95 or is there a better model that has come out?
Can you use it standing up the tall way? Or does it have to lay flat the way you have it?
It looks like you gave a volvo vnl 780 don't you have a fridge in that truck usually 780s have fridge in them
yeah someone removed the stock fridge it was volvo 780
Where do I find one of these?
Light's blinking like crazy
How did this hold up ?
Where can I buy this?I can't find on Amazon
Well, nice fridge. Can it be carried by one person?
6 man only.. coffin style
Where did you get the plastic egg holder?
Angel Girl J i found it on amazon
How's that truck frig/freezer holding up?
will this fit in a kenworth t680
not sure I just know it fits in a Volvo and a freightliner. just get a tape measure and see if it does
Guys how is it in now? Is it reliable? Work properly?
Still kicking !
Hamlet Dubois thanks!
Gush, are you handsome!
Is your fridge still working?
yes it is
What kind of warranty does it have on amazon
It still running?
How well does Dometic do when the refrigerator breaks? How easy is it to get them to fix it? Or do they expect you to think it away and buy a new one?
No longer inexpensive. $1200 to $1400 here in 2022.
Nice review, but don't ever reach behind you while driving like he said he does. 😬
How much did you pay for your truck??? Thanks
jordan waked I'm doing a lease purchase, I put 5k down
@@hamletdubois6201 woops
What kind of truck are you using it in now I have a Kenworth T680 and not alot of room
your going to have to measure bro, this has fit in a volvo 780 and freightliner cascadia
Ok thanks for replying bro and the video about the frig
@@hamletdubois6201 thanks for replying bro I'll do just that
May I ask what you use to cook with ?
mainly heat
So, give up all my floor space and block cabinet doors. Is this a joke???
How much power does that use . I have a 1800 watt inverter but no apu
Bass Trucker187 you can run it off 12volts ,no inverter needed. I left it plugged up for 2 days without having to start the truck
I'm not paying $1k for a Fridge
investment
I have one similar that I got for less than 300 😂😂
Will it fit on the passager seat?
nope
Bruhh if you need a fridge that big on the road! You need to get off the road, period!!! This is for the driver’s that literally don’t go home. There’s a line where too much goes past enough.
the big elephant in the room.
Ni..Ni....NIIIIIINE HUNDRED DOLLARS =-0 ?? You can buy a good 12v Peltier cooler for $75-$100... Plus, that damn thing is YUGE.
Nope. I'm simply STILL holding $800 in one hand, & an equally-cold beverage in the other...
lol I didnt say it was cheap lol
Peltier coolers work meh, they have gotten me sick more than once.plus every one ive had has shit out in a number of months or never worked good in th first place. Buy once cry once. I bought an Arb cost: $1100 worth every penny
Some people believe in quality made products that last, instead of replacing a POS every 2 months, you'll learn eventually man.
They make smaller dometic fridges that are 300 dollars
that shit huge
Will it fit under the bunk ?
No unfortunately wont it's to tall
Will it fit under the bed?
you can use it as a bed, sweet dreams
But there’s no space
Looks more like a freezer than a fridge
But expensive, over $1400
Stocked with garbage. Nothing but drinks.
The fridge company don’t need Free advertisement
hell no nio no no
When he said $900. I stopped watching.
Shits expensive. I’ll stick with a cooler and ice
Yeah, but it's good shit! I bought a CFX65DZ, received it Friday. It takes no electricity to speak of. Very efficient.
Say you buy a $100 cooler. Say you buy 2 bags of ice per week, $6 x 52 weeks in the year, $312. At the end of year one, you have already spent $412!!!
At the end of year two, $724. At the end of year three, $1036. By this point, you will wish you had invested in a Dometic.

Bro so bad .. jump for everywhere . You not have space . Again so bad👎
nowhere near the best refigerator truckfridge.com that one takes up way too much floor space. also nobody with any ethics uses amazon.
I like those models too
I have a truck fridge too. 4.25 cubic foot, and a 1.75 drawer that I set to freeze. Paid $1000 for both. I have had them for 4 years and they are still running great, right off the battery.
