No, they are too underpowered for a fermentation chamber. Fermenting beer creates way more heat than a couple six packs.
 
Those use peltier coolers (thermoelectric)
At best, they can cool to 10 degrees below room temperature. They would have no hope of keeping up with a fermentation or cooling to lagering temperatures.

Stick with fridges with compressors.
