Hell Oriolo.
Firstly be aware that there are different ratings of fridge which can get temperatures in the fridge down as low as 20 degrees below ambient temperature, 25 degrees and 30 degrees. You really should consider the better ones that can get the temperature down to 30 degrees below ambient as, heaven forbid, should we ever again get a summer with warm temperatures a lower-rated fridge will not be sufficiently powerful to keep things safely chilled.
Secondly, be aware that you cannot set a temperature on a 3-way as you would, say, a domestic fridge. You set a power setting on a dial depending on how warm or cold the ambient/outside air temperature is. As such you will need a thermometer for inside the fridge (I've got one from, I think, Lakeside for about £5) and to check the temperature every so often to make sure that thingd aren't getting frozen or too warm. I also tend to reduce the power setting over night as, obviously, the ambient temperature tends to go down.
Having said all that, they are of great use if you are away for more than four days or so as you don't have to worry about spare gell packs, getting them nicked from the camp fridge, etc. Mine is a Dometic (formerly Electrolux) which I got off ebay (barely used, less than a year old) for less than half the "as new" price.
