Glass doors can be insulated with those camping mats $5 @ crazy someones and a bit of contact adhesive...
Yeah, I think that's the one (can't remember the actual model number). The best thing about it is the motor is tacked onto the back so it doesn't take up room inside the fridge at the bottom. That means the inside of the fridge is all usable. A 30L carboy fits in beautifully (only thing is that you need a two-piece airlock - the S-shaped one is a bit too tall).
does anyone use a wine cooler or chiller to lager in, I have seen their price come down to 150 for 29 bottle cooler and their temps range between 7 and 18 deg c.

Happy to report that the little fridge is keeping my APA around the 20c mark and it is 28 degrees today in sunny QLD, and probably 30 in my garage. I dont think it would do a lager with these ambient temps unless I used San Fran lager yeast. For 168 bones it is well worth it to keep stable fermenting temps all year round!!
