Insignia™ - 5.6 Cu. Ft. 1-Tap Beverage Cooler Kegerator - Stainless steel

This is my first kegerator so I can't attest to how well this performs to higher end models. However, I must say that finding a name brand stainless steel kegerator for less than $500 is difficult. I bought this on sale at Bestbuy. It works great! Assembly was easy. The unit did come dented on the door, but it was so minor it didn't feel worth taking back. It cools the beer to 34 degrees at the 5.5/6.0 setting. Keeping beer cold is key and keeping CO2 levels in check is key in reducing foam. Unfortunately, I had about 3 lbs of CO2 leak out. It was my fault for not putting the supplied O ring on the keg coupler and I don't believe I fully twisted the keg coupler properly on my second keg. However, CO2 is cheap ($15 at local paintball supply in the Atlanta area). It's only a pain in that I live 30 min from my supplier. So make sure your connections are tight and secure. The best way to check for leaks is with soapy water and by weighing the tank (it weighs 8.14 lbs, so just add 5 to that for a full tank weight excluding the regulator and hosing). A 5lb tank should last about 6 half kegs or 17 1/6 kegs (I get the 1/6 kegs to change it up more often and to save my back hauling it upstairs). So, I think the 5 lb tanks works out great. If your beer is too foamy just increase the temperature dial number on the back of the fridge (lower temp) and lower your CO2 (using less is better, right?). You may also want to consider using keg lube on your O rings and invest in a cleaning system (I use it after every 2 kegs). I recommend Brew Clean by Keg Connection and Petro Gel food grade lubricant. I don't see the need for a tower fan for this unit. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Absolutely love this. I did how ever decide I wanted to have a variety so I converted mine to a two tap tower but was still very happy as is also. Holds temperature well and all supplies that come with it are good quality. Once you go draft you’ll never back.

I love this kegorator but I think it could be built a little better as far as cooling goes. I have my set at the highest setting 6 for over a week and the lowest temp it reached was 40. One morning it was 23 degrees! Not sure why the temp changed so suddenly. Now it's back at 40 degrees. The first half of the first beer is always foam. I built a tap tower cooler out of scrap parts and spent a total of $7. No more foam in the first beer! Amazon they are $60 for the coolers. This kegorator holds a half keg with ease with the shelves removed. Glad I made this purchase but I wish that I didn't have to customize mine to get the perfect beer.

I’m extremely pleased with my purchase and the quality of this kegorator. An amazing unit with all the boxes checked! Keeps my drinks and kegs icy and available on demand!

Considering we’ve had this about 4 weeks and we’re already on our 4th sixtel I’d say it’s working out pretty good. I have always wanted one and when a friend who owns a brewery was worried about loosing kegs because of covid 19 I decided it was time. Turns out it’s cheaper to buy this way so the kegerator will eventually pay for itself. Love the finishing touch it gives my home bar. Should have gotten this years ago set up was easy and it functions flawlessly. Almost like being at the taproom.

Took 10 minutes to get it set up and running, at minute 11 I was drinking my first glass of beer. The tap tower is a little wobbly but you don't have to yank on the handle, it comes with extra seals and clamps. It works great out the box just have to fine tune the co2 pressure, I found it works well at 8 psi. Its easy to move and is very quiet, you almost can't hear it running.

Mine arrived A ok even after being flown from Anchorage, Alaska to Bethel, Alaska via Lynden Air on a C-130 Hercules. And based on the speed of delivery it had to been flown a minimum of twice. The only negative is they shipped too small of hose clamps. Luckily I had some on hand.

This product is trash. It does not work and folks at insignia no help whatsoever .Bought for my husband for Father’s Day. Came banged up. Leaked beer all over. Nightmare of a purchase. I went to the store and then they told me because I had it delivered to the store because I wanted to surprise my husband, that I had to pay $75 for them to pick it back up. Don’t step into this nightmare zone.
