Organizing the cold stuff for a longer cruise just got a whole lot easier, thanks to Dometic Marine’s new Waeco CRX range of three-in-one refrigerator/freezers, featuring a patented removable freezer compartment. The key to this new system is a condenser plate that is folded in such a way that the majority of its surface area is above a pullout horizontal insulated panel. This panel has a hinged door that is used to create a separate freezer compartment comprising about 10 percent of the unit’s interior volume. With the panel removed, however, the whole interior can be used as either a refrigerator or a freezer, depending on how you set the temperature. The system’s flush-mounted control panel also has a diagnostic function, while the three-speed compressor adjusts automatically to achieve the required cooling capacity. The fridge is available in three sizes, all of which include LED interior lighting.

From $980. Dometic Corp., dometic.com
