Buy the IM for that, not for the fridge. As a fridge it holds two cans fewer than the standard 55 and it draws noticeably more power when the ice maker is working, 1.21 amp-hours an hour against 0.87. That is the honest limit and it is worth understanding before you order. If you want frozen meat and cold drinks at the same time instead, look at the 75DZ. Your order ships from Melbourne and your CFX5 carries a 5-year Dometic warranty backed by their Australian repair network.
