I've not used one but I know people who have. . . . Pros . . . they have a built in adjustable thermostat . . . so you don't need to fit one . . . cons they are expensive. . . . you can't fit a tap through the door as its made of glass.

I have been looking at the big double fronted can coolers (Nearly had one for 200 quid, but had to pass on it as I would have had to tidy the shed out ), remove the double glazed units from the door replacing them with a stainless steel sheet/ Kingspan sandwich, then fitting the taps through the door. . . . but with a standard fridge once the shelves and door shelves are removed it is so much easier to convert . . . . Vossy's is a particularly smart job.

TBH a standard fridge is a much better option, its a simple matter to replace the thermostat, and they are often available quite cheaply through the small ads or even free from freecycle
