Interesting idea for those without the space for a temperature controlled fermentation area.

Its just a peltier cooler. Tech savvy homebrewers have tried this themselves over the years. Didn't seem to take off then I doubt it will now. Seems like if I remember correctly they just were not powerful or efficient enough. Wish I still had those links to those to go back and look at them again.

Yeah...for $300, it seems like a expensive boondoggle; it is a peltier cooler indeed. For my two cents, a carboy is only slightly smaller, footprint-wise, than a small, used college fridge with a temp controller and the fridge is cheaper.
