So it doesn't have a thermostat - the fan will be going all the time, and it won't be suitable for keeping food in. That's why it's described as a cooler, not a fridge.

Yes, the fan does go all of the time. It does explicitly say in the instructions that you shouldn't keep food it it due to the fact that it can't guarantee a fixed temperature. I think it would be fine for milk and cold drinks on an occasional basis though, and for £14.99 you can't go wrong IMHO.

And yes, it is the MC05 model, tim_n.

Oh yes, I'd agree that it will be fine for keeping things cool, but not to guarantee that milk will reach its sell-by date!

it's a nice cool 'cooler'. I've got nice cold drinks. It takes 14x440ml (beer size) cans if you take out the shelf and the door shelf. You could probably fit a few 330ml, but you'd probably reduce the cooling properties by blocking the fan. Mine is currently filled with bud to see how it goes. I intend to lager my homebrew in there (that was its official use)
