Under bench fridges

[Judanero]

Does anyone use one for housing their kegs?

Since the death of my chesty I have been approved by the minister for finance to purchase something like:

but so far the ones I've seen seem to be just too small to fit a cornie in front of the compressor, if anyone is using one do you have a model number or something I can look up?

Trying to resist getting another chesty so I can make moving kegs a bit easier.

Does anyone have or know of anyone that has one of these for a while and can report on their use:

Have you looked at grays online, they often have those under-bench fridges

Keg King also imports them. I've had one or many years, still running. The cheap chrome work on it rusted. There were some that the display/controller failed, but I'm not sure if it has been resolved. You can buy the part separately if it does fail, or if mine fails I would consider running it from an stc. Overall it's done the job for many years and they look neater than a chesty. That's a great price for it.

Keg King also do commercial sized fridges for keg, but they are reported to be fairly noisy.

Maybe one of these?

I like the idea, I'm on my second chesty and when it dies would love to go this path. I must say I have always bought cheap secondhand units.
This one looks nice, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bar-Fridge-Display-Cooler-Double-Glass-3-Door-Stainless-Steel-338-Litre-RRP-2899/231642115345?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140106155344%26meid%3Db9214541267f462a84aa351747e72498%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D201166045398

I looked at these initially but there is only a 200mm distance from the inside of the door to the compressor hump.

I just use a standard bar fridge. Picked it up for next to nothing. I had to bend the freezer out and pin it to the back walls to fit 2 cornies. I use a fridge mate to control the temps as this caused the whole fridge to become a freezer. Has been running non stop for over 10 years now.
Cheers.

I looked into using an under bench fridge as a chesty was not going to work in my application. All of the ones I found were either too short to fit corny kegs, or had compressor humps which interfered with keg placement. For a good fridge you pay upwards of $1200. I could not find anything which suited keg applications, unless you use a picnic gun or similar.

The only bench type fridge that I found works is the Keg King Grand Deluxe. I bought one, they are noisy but do work well. Suggest if you go down this path you put it outside. Otherwise a chest freezer or the Kegerator.

My search was not exhaustive so you may find something that suits.

Thanks everyone for their input, I think I'm going to buy two of the kegerators so I can run six taps and don't really have to bother with modifying it (which it looks like I would have to if I went the under bench all in one option).

The Grand deluxe does look the business but is a bit more than I have allocated, and there's only one place it can go so being noisy would rule that out instantly.
