Has anyone converted a haier wine cooler to a kegerator?

I found a really good price on craigslist for a 4.6 cubic foot haier wine cooler. I'm thinking it'll fit at least two corny's. Has anyone done this? Is haier a good brand?

I've converted a wine cooler, but not that one. Pretty simple to do, just took out the thermostat and use a temp controller like Johnson, Honeywell, Ranco, Love, etc. Drill hole on top and add tower. I made a tower out of ABS pipe as this was a garage only soda kegger. I only use it for lagering now and mine barely holds a 5 gallon & a 3 gallon corny at the same time.

Haier makes a lot of the refrigeration and freezer units sold in the US under big names like GE, Westinghouse, etc. That does not mean they are good!

well i think you should be able to fit two corneys in there. i think my kegerator is the same size and i have 2 cornys in there. i think i picked up a keg from you the other day. you are welcome to stop by and look what i did with mine.
