    I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, that maybe he was using autocorrect.

    @Dometic Can you re-use your existing CFX slides and/or covers with the new CFX3, if the size is the same, such as the 75 models? Thanks!

    Also @Dometic how does the compressor of the CFX 75 special edition (with it's 15% improvement over the not so special one) compare to the new CFX3 75?

    As long as you don't change to a dramatically different size in the CFX3 line your current slide will work. It should fit in the tray you have without an issue.


    Not sure where the 15% improvement number came from as the only difference between the standard and special edition was color. The main improvements relative to the CFX3 line are related to electronics (display, monitoring, and efficiency), strength of the exterior, etc. :thumbsup:

    Thanks for the info, that's good to know on the slide and cover. I'd be upgrading from CFX to CFX3 same size.

    The 15% came from some marketing blurb I read.

    Anyone using one of our PLB40s with their CFX or CFX3? If so, can you share some pictures and impressions of your set up in this thread we created? We'd like to get some feedback on how you like and use your PLB40 :thumbsup:

    Thanks!

    Excellent. We would appreciate some photos! You might also be the first to post a new CFX3 arrival. :bowdown:

    Glad it got to you. I'm looking forward to hearing your impressions of making ice for your favorite beverage when out in the woods!

    @EatSleepTacos Have you had a chance to make some ice and try your new 55IM out properly in the field?

    I’m out in the field right now! Should have some ice making right now for margaritas later. This thing is sweet, and I really love the app.

    That's great! I'd be curious to hear about how like the energy consumption tracking via the app and how what type of battery you're using to power the cooler (after you get back of course).

    Enjoy the trip - I think you picked a great time to get away from the crowds!

    How’s the battery consumption so far? Looking at buying a fridge for the summer and running it off a jackery 500

    This is a screenshot from earlier. It’s just sipping. And this is with the ice maker on.
