Why we sell it

The WCR60 is the value 55-litre fridge: real compressor cooling without paying for the premium NRX range, and the cheapest sensible way up from the WCR50.

  • Real compressor cooling. Holds temperature in heat and on a slope, unlike an absorption fridge — at the value end of the range.
  • Two modes. Performance pulls temperature down fast; Quiet runs quietly enough to sleep near.
  • Proper Dometic/Waeco support. A known brand with a UK service network, not a marketplace unknown.

How it compares

vs the Dometic NRX 60C

Same 55-litre class. The NRX adds a digital panel, three modes plus Winter Mode and a more refined build; the WCR60 is the value choice.

vs an absorption (3-way) fridge

The WCR60 holds temperature far better in heat, works off-level and needs no gas — just 12/24V power.

Fitting it

  • Ventilation. Like any compressor fridge it needs airflow around the rear — build vents into the cabinet; the WCR datasheet does not print a clearance figure, so follow the installation manual.
  • Power. 12/24V to the leisure circuit on fused, correctly gauged cable; about 50W and ~0.33 kWh/24h.
  • Door. Full-width handle with a swappable matte-black panel; plan the door swing so it clears the walkway.
