I do. The things I like about them are:
Fairly inexpensive
Large screw off top making it easy to clean
Bottom spigot for easy transfers, gravity readings, etc
Easy to modify - there's even keg posts and other mods available online
Well made with sturdy handles making it easy to move
Things I don't necessarily like:
The sizes are odd. The 20L is 5.3 gallons and the 30L is 7.9 gallons. Kind of tweener sizes so you have to be cautious of headspace
You can't really see into them if you care about watching your krausen or seeing your beer
With it being plastic, you obviously have to be cautious of scratching the inside, but they're a really hard, durable plastic
The pros easily outweigh the cons for me, but I equate fermenters to smokers and what works for one might not be the best option for someone else.
