We are using this outside by the pool in a ventilated space next to the barbeque.  So far it works great.  We use only for beverages and it's not the full heat of summer yet but so far it's keeping them cold.  Nice looking on the outside and the space for cans inside the front door is great.  We have temp 3/4 of the way up and it's keeping cans cold.  The sun hits the front every afternoon.
