Almost perfect
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This arrived via UPS a few days after I ordered it as promised. I turned it on a few hours after assembling it, and let it sit over night waiting for the keg to arrive. After getting the keg installed it took another day to wait for everything to become cold enough to be able to actually serve. I encountered a few minor problems, hearing that there was issues with line temperature, I encountered a lot of problems with too much foam from pulls. The tube for the beer ended up getting pushed behind the keg and next to the cooling panel, which then caused it to freeze. But once I got that sorted out, everything seems to be working very well. This sorely needs a fan, as once I put the fan in the temperature in the entire fridge dropped by about 10 degrees. I found a small USB powered fan, and snaked the cord down the tap line on the top, and have the air blowing up the line to help keep it cold. Had this been installed from the factory, this would be a 5 star review.

Terrible product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The fridge cannot maintain temperature which causes beer to foam. It has ruined 3 kegs by freezing them so far.

Does a good job and looks nice.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this for over three years now and it has held up well. The included faucet is the best I have ever had by far. It stays completely free of debris and periodic cleaning shows almost nothing unwanted comes out of the faucet. That’s much better than all the other faucets I’ve had. This refrigerator seems to do a good job keeping the temperature steady between 34-36 degrees when on the coldest setting. It does need to be defrosted about once a month. There is a small ledge on the back interior wall and that ledge will ice up. Once defrosted the temperature can be maintained at about 30-32 degrees until frost/ice again starts to form on that ledge. My unit does have one issue that must be watched. The supplied (clear plastic) beer line freezes quickly if it touches the rear wall. The cooling coils are in that rear wall. When changing kegs, the beer line can easily rest against the rear wall. It is very difficult to thaw the beer line once it is frozen. Keep that beer line away from the rear wall at all times. I see that the current pictures show a thicker blue plastic beer line. Perhaps this issue has been addressed since my purchase. Like many non-commercial CO2 regulators, this regulator is finicky after changing kegs. The first several glasses of beer will likely not come out normal until the regulator “settles down”. This may take 2-3 days to resolve depending on volume of usage. Again, I have found this to be a normal condition on these cheaper regulators and is not unique to this unit. It’s a nice looking kegerator and has worked well for me over these years given the above few quirks. You should be able to find this on sale from time to time and when you do, I would recommend this product.

Overall Good
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had my kegerator for the past four years, and it has been a fantastic addition to my home bar. From the moment I set it up, it consistently delivered perfectly chilled, draft-quality beer. The setup was straightforward, and the unit's sleek design fit seamlessly into my space. After four years of reliable service, my kegerator recently stopped working. While this was disappointing, I must acknowledge that it had a good run and served me well during its lifespan. Given its performance and the joy it brought over the years, I still consider it a worthwhile investment.

Best BIrthday Gift Ever!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In this day and age of the pandemic, this is the way to go! It's so nice to be able to drink draft beer at home of your own choice without having to go to a bar. The best part of it is not having to tip anymore! Since the average guy drinks about a six pack a day, the savings in beer alone will pay for this kegerator in no time. It was pretty straight forward putting it together and if you're not quite sure about the assembly, there are several YouTube videos to walk you through. Just about all of these type kegerators work the same. I've noticed a lot of people who complain about these type units not getting cold enough, drink cheap beer. With the use of an elbow fitting we serve German beer between 40 to 42f and this unit easily gets cold enough for proper serving temp, Adding a front seal flow control faucet is a wise investment in order to dial in a proper pour. Getting the Co2 tank filled is not a problem either since there are several places that sell beverage grade Co2. Be sure to leak test fittings with a little soap and water to avoid losing beer or gas! You'll want to get a kit for cleaning beer lines after each keg. You will then know why most of the time the beer in the dives taste so lousy because they either don't clean their lines at all or not often enough. So happy!

Great Kegerator Would Not Pay Full Price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Kegerator is fantastic, and a steal when on sale. Do know you probably will swap stuff out almost immediatly. A longer line is a must or you will be foaming every pour. I added a gas guage to the tank so I can see when it needs a refill. Also a new tap faucet this one is spring loaded and not very good. So if you get this when its on sale, you essentially get an awesome fridge with so so equipment, but another 50$ or so will get you upgraded perfectly.

Good Kegerator
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Even though this isn't a perfect kegerator I'm giving it 5 stars because of the deal! Got this on sale for $350 and it does its job. Setting at 10-12psi as it calls for produces very foamy beer for me. After losing about a gallon trying to get the right pressure I finally settled at around 6psi. The beer is cold and $350 is a great price. Is this the best kegerator money can buy? No. Is this well worth $350? Absolutely!

Insight Single tap Kegerator
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nicely priced unit for a quality kegerator. I didn’t give it 5 stars because the top of it is light on the plastic. Has great space for the round barrel kegs and looks nice with a simple design that gets cold. Very quiet too . Def recommend

Great quality for the price!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was surprised when I received my unit just a couple of days after ordering. It was also bigger than I had imagined, and it looks sturdy and nice. I had already researched about kegerators beforehand, so I already knew what to expect when assembling. Got my CO2 tank filled at the local homebrewing shop, got my keg and got everything set up. After letting sit and cool for a day, while also monitoring the CO2 pressure, I was able to pour great tasting beer! (Since the tower isn't as cold as the rest of the fridge, you will get some initial foam. Cooling this will be my next project.) All in all, as long as you know how this works and the different variables in play, this is a great buy!

Great so far
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the ability to have the CO2 tank inside or outside. I also like the ability to mount the tap on a bar top since it does provide a plug and means. While the product information states that Miller/Coors kegs will not fit, some of them will. Simply ask your liquor store to order in a standard or tall half barrel (not the short with the ring around them). Haven't had any problems keeping it cold so far as I saw some reviewers added a USB fan.

Great budget kegerator
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this on sale, super great buy. Ditched the included tower and regulator...went with a krome brand standard three inch tower ( the kegerator is drilled and tapped for a standard tower ) and went with a taprite regulator and krome brand three tap co2 manifold. Nothing wrong with the factory tower and regulator ( using them on a patio mini fridge setup) just wanted Pro quality gear on this monster kegerator... Also went with perlick faucets... This kegerator holds three pin lock or ball lock 1/6 kegs .... ( 5 gallon)... Holds a constant forty degree temps on the number four setting.. Super quiet. I'll buy another when I can justify having six beers and ciders on tap.

Over 3 years of ownership
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife got it for me for Christmas back in 21. At first I had a lot of problems. Kinda a learning curve. But once I got it all right. Don't forget to put the clear plastic washer in the wing nut and that will fix all the leakage that you may have. Best gift I ever gotten. 3 years strong.

Great kegerator
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This kegerator came well before the anticipated delivery date. I have been ecstatic about this purchase. It comes with everything needed to get pouring except of course the keg. It comes with a 5# C02 bottle that can be filled at a weld supply shop or a paintball field. I have no trouble getting the beer cold and it compliments any room you may want to put it in. We had a few friends over last weekend and everybody loved it. The full keg easily fits with no issues.
