Yes. Check the temperature range, but it should do the trick.
Do you mean something like a wine fridge that keeps the wine at something like 14 degrees?
If so, then do some more searching on AHB as this has been raised before. Apparently, they are not proper fridges and can't cool an active source of heat, like a fermenter.
If you just mean something that you add frozen water bottles to, then I use something similar with good results.

Depends whether you already have the wine cooler or not or youSurely a wine cooler fridge with a thermostat must be more effective and
controllable than a bath with frozen bottles in it ffs

Not if it's one of the ones that doesn't have a compressor, apparently they don't have the required cooling power.
Also, it's not a bath. It's a cylindrical cooler bag-type thing. Frozen 1.25L coke bottles can just fit in with the fermenter. A hole was cut in the top of the cooler for the airlock. It works rather well for a $25 solution. I can keep the brew at a fairly constant temperature in all but the main heat of summer, then it fluctuates a bit, but not too much.
