I brought this for my husand to put in his man cave., and it was a perfect fit in there. The assembly was easy to put together. It hold 6 barrel keg or 2 1/6 barrel. It comes with a tap which he switch out for the one he liked. The fridge and parts are very good quality. The fridge it keep cool temperature. If you don't want to put a keg into the fridge it has shelves which you can stock cans of your favorite beer. This kegerator has wheel on it so you can enjoy it inside or outdoors. It's nice to know my husand can have his friends over and enjoy a nice cold glass of beer.

Purchased this for a game room and have to say that this is a great addition to any man cave or even just any room in your home. Large capacity for most keg sizes and can even fit up to 3 1/6 style kegs, 1 for use and 2 for stand by, or can just purchase the larger standard keg for those larger get togethers or parties. Temperature gets really cold so pours the drinks at a great temperature. The only complaint I had with this was that CO2 regulator that comes with this unit had some issues. It would either pour beer with to much foam when put at the brewery's requested CO2 level OR if you lower it, there will be no foam however beer taste a little flat. I had to purchase a different regulator the new one worked way better than the one that came with this unit. Otherwise this was an overall great purchase.

I bought this kegerator to use as a built-in in a basement bar. We allowed plenty of space on all sides because it is meant to be a freestanding unit. But if you are considering the same, know that it can be done and it works well. Set up was a cinch. The unit itself and all the parts are good quality. There was a little fiddling with finding the right C02 pressure. Running at 10-12lbs seems to be a good balance between slow pour vs. foam. Also froze the lines a couple times before I found the right temp setting. Just below 4 on the dial gets me a nice 36deg. We're really enjoying the kegerator so far and can recommend it to anyone considering one.

The wife and I have been kicking around the idea of getting a kegarator for years and after much research we finally settled on this one. Other than getting the Co2 dialed in, the setup was simple and quick. I highly recommend this unit for anyone that enjoys ice cold draft beer.

I was tired of paying $7 for draft beer and finally decided to quit whining and fix the problem. Unit was very simple to set up. Plenty of room for full keg and gas canister. The regulator was simple to adjust to the correct pressure and voila! cold draught beer all the time for pennies on what you would spend out pounding them back. Now friends come here and drink free beer and I am still ahead on $$. May be my most economic purchase EVER. Plus, I bought this for $449 and it went on sale for $299 3 Days later. I called Best Buy and they price matched the sale price and credited my BB card. Good job Best Buy!!

Had this for a little over a month. Had issues at first by not putting on a washer from beer line to keg, had some leaks. Instructions aren’t super clear on how to set up. Since I got rolling, though, it’s been everything we needed it to be. Keeps my ipa keg very cold, very little foam when pouring, tons of room inside kegerator for two 1/4’s, or one 1/4 and other bottles/cans. Love it!

Great kegerator, have not had a problem with it. Have had it for 6 months and got through 5 - 1/2 barrels. Keeps the beer really cold. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. My friend loved it and bought himself one, my brother in law also got himself one. Hands down a great kegerator to have at home.

So got this for my dad for Christmas and my cousin is a brewmaster at a brewery so he helped set it up. Beer is COLD!! Only on the first time of the day pouring a cup it can be a little bit of foam which is normal but after it’s perfect. Zero issues and zero leaks. Going to convert it soon for 2 taps instead of 1. Also bought these plugs so while we aren’t using it, helps from nothing going inside and keeping it clean.

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.

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.

This is my first kegerator and I'm very happy with it. Did a lot of research and i had been wanting one for my bar. It keeps the beer cold and in my opinion it was very easy to set up. The lines come assembled but i did have to redo one connection because i was loosing pressure. After that it has been working great.

Easy to assemble. Keeps my beer at about 36-38° at coldest setting. Super easy to adjust co2 and is flexible....i can put under a bar top with castors off, or put castors on and roll it outside for summer parties. So far im on keg #5 with only 1 minor issue. After i put the 3rd keg in, not sure what happened, but next day i came out and beer was warm. Something tripped and unit wasnt cooling. I unplugged and plugged back in and everything reset on its own. Also, the tower isnt super tight, sonit feels a bit wobbly, nothing major and an easy fix. Other than that, its been solid so far and for the price tou cant beat it.

Good temperature down to 34 deg. Keeping the beer nice and cold. Fits 2 corny kegs with ease even with CO2 inside the frig. Does have a little ice build up if also storing your soda cans in the same frig.

Got this for my husband's man cave. Easy to assemble. Keeps good temp, and easy to roll around. We don't drink beer every day, so my husband switched out the beer faucet for a stainless steel perlick faucet, for cleanliness. Cheers!

I’ve had this unit for about 3 weeks. It is a replacement for a different brand that had come to the end of its life. A little larger than the previous which makes putting a half barrel inside a lot easier. Also the ability to install the CO2 canister inside is a great plus. (No lines running outside of the unit.). I was skeptical at first if it would actually cool this much volume and was pleasantly surprised when the beer inside came out at a cold 39 degrees. This unit is in a garage with no cooling. I live in north Texas and it can get 90 degrees plus inside during the day. (In the garage because wife will not let me keep it in the house). Good solid construction except I feel the tower cold be a little more solid. I installed a tower cooler to keep the tower cold and it works great. (Tower is insulated). I am very pleased and would buy again.

Delivery driver and helper went above and beyond in making sure I was happy with everything delivery wise. Kegerator arrived undamaged and everything was in the box with the kegerator. I had it up and working in no time at all. Just make double sure you tighten all fittings so there is no leaks from the CO2 tank.

Bought this as a Christmas present for my husband. He loved it. He immediately started setting it up and calling around for a keg. He went with a half keg. His advice is to be patient with the CO2. The beer does absorb some. ( I don’t know what that means but if you are reading this review, maybe it will be useful). Great purchase and I highly recommend.

I love this kegerator, everything is balanced on it and you can put it anywhere! I love how it was available right away just in time for a big Halloween party I was having. I have had it for more than a year and it has survived many kegs! There was one time I had a keg in there for 3 months and every pour still tasted fresh every time!
