    Im looking at building a storage chamber for the collection of bottles my wife and i have. ( we need to put some food in our fridge )

    I found this and was wondering if any one had any experience with it. From what ive read i can set it at 55 degrees and be good.

    I have looked at those before and it's a great idea. I use a small window A/C unit mounted in an insulated 8'x4'x2' box and use an STC-1000 for it. It gets touchy when running it cold real cold because the coils want to freeze....I had to play with fans and such to fine tune it after numerous freeze ups.

    If I ever have $300 to spend I would seriously consider running ths with a CoolBot.

    Here's mine:

    The description reads like a magic carburetor device that will give you 100 mpg. Is it more than a PID with the ability to compensate for current draw vs cooling rate?

    Bought a Coolbot last year to keep my kegs cold for festivals.

    It works as advertised. I had it running a 10,000 BTU LG AC unit.

    I'd recommend it.
