   Jake Wilson – September 1, 2017

   Recently purchased and assembled this unit as a gift for my father. This is my honest take on the unit from my experience.First things first, the packaging that it was shipped in was somewhat shoddy. Double-boxed, but the bottom of the interior box was ripped out completly allowing it to move inside the outer box. I believe this led to at least one of the following defects. After unboxing, I found that there was a ~4″ gash in the side of the unit; the paint wasn’t scratched but it is very noticeable. Part of the metal frame at the bottom of the door face was warped outward, which until smashed back flush with a hammer was interrupting the door seal (which would have allowed cold air to escape). Finally, one of the two interior shelves was hastily shoved into the interior of the unit during packaging and was half bent; I could not fully unbend the shelf to look “normal”. If we didn’t need this assembled and operational the next day for a surprise party, then it would have been sent back for a replacement unit.Beyond this, the unit itself is pretty well built. The parts are all of average quality, and the unit itself holds sub-40 degree temperature well. The CO2 and beer line tubing are both PVC based, I will be upgrading the beer lines to an antibacterial sanitary grade tubing at a later time (Ultra Barrier Silver). The CO2 tank regulator is only a single gauge unlike most others on the market that show both the tank pressure along with the line pressure; this isn’t a big deal but it would be nicer if it was dual gauge in order to monitor the tank pressure to know when you need to get it refilled. The tower comes with interior insulation, which I have found to be very good as it keeps it cold enough and to not pour a ton of foam when you haven’t poured in a while, and a lot of other towers on the market do not come with interior insulation. The taps are decent, but drip for a minute or two after pouring anything; I’ll be upgrading these to Perlick taps for sanitary reasons regardless but they suffice. BE SURE TO CLEAN THE INSIDE OF THE TAPS BEFORE USE, there was some black “gunk” (almost like a grease) that was just inside both of our faucets. The keg couplers were fine. There were no issues with the CO2 tank itself. All of the supplied hardware (line T, hose clamps, etc) were sufficient.My final gripes about the unit. The sides (but not front or rear) get HOT on the outside, more so than any minifridge I’ve ever owned (which is essentially what this is – a glorified minifridge with taps). The drip plate is also just a piece of cheap rectangular plastic that sits on the top of the unit under the taps, and unlike most drip trays on the market it does not have an inset curved shape to set flush around the tower, it just awkwardly sets there and looks out of place on a $500 unit.The instructions were easy and simple to follow, if you’re mechanically inclined in the slightest, then you won’t have any issues assembling this. All in all this unit was worth the money over restoring an old Kegerator that we had with a new dual-tap Kegko kit (that project was about $80 less altogether than buying this new unit). I will however be upgrading a lot of the components here – drip tray, taps, beer line tubing, and possibly the regulator.UPDATE 03 JAN 2018:Just wanted to add a couple of notes after a couple months of use and upgrades. The included PVC lines have been fine as long as they are cleaned (we use Regal Marketing Kegerator Beer Line Cleaning Kit), we haven’t switched them out to a different tubing yet but haven’t had any issues after a couple of different kegs. The included spring-loaded taps tended toward being leaky here or there, mostly probably from not being completely pushed back into the closed position by tipsy guests, but even then some slow drips still continued from time to time. The short tap handles don’t help with that. We’ve replaced the taps with Perlick 630SS taps and haven’t looked back – they’re wonderful. I recommend getting a thermometer to keep inside the unit, once we got the temperature dialed in and stable for a few weeks, we were able to dial back the temperature setting knob which helped with the sides of the unit getting so hot. They still get a little warm, but not as much as they did at the start. We also added a distributor T with individual line valves to replace the included CO2 line T/Wye, it’s just an extra preventative measure to keep CO2 from leaking from an untapped line when we only have 1 keg installed. Overall, we’ve been pretty satisfied with the unit after some upgrades.

   I wanted to wait a week or two before writing this to make sure it wasn’t a piece of junk. Well, I’m happy to report, it’s not.First thing u should know is that I had a homemade kegerator that I built from scratch that I kept in the garage and was made from an old refrigerator. I decided to buy this because it’s not an eyesore and will fit in the dining room without being obnoxious.That being said, I was actually pleasantly surprised when I received this. I actually considered building another homemade kegerator out of a smaller mini fridge prior to ordering this to save money and I am so glad I didn’t. You will never ever build a unit as decent as this from scratch or mini fridge. Do not let the YouTube guys tell you otherwise. I promise. By the time u add up the fridge, the parts, the pieces, you’ll have a homemade mini fridge that dispenses beer. Nothing more. This is a actual kegerator thats well built and easy to assemble.I would only note that some of the parts are more on the economy side of quality. Like the co2 regulator and the actual beer taps. However, I do not feel like they’ll fail on me. The rest of the stuff is absolutely quality and worth it.I’m halfway through my first, two 6th kegs and not a single hiccup. I only deducted a star for the price (it’s not cheap but absolutely worth it) and the economy regulator.Oh, I also wanted to comment on the packaging because other reviewers said it was no good. I think the seller must have fixed those issues, because this thing would have had to been hit by a train to be damaged. I was actually super surprised how well it was packaged. Mine had absolutely zero shipping damage.Hope this helps. Cheers

   Definitely not the easiest for a novice to assemble. A lot of steps Involved.It seems to be exactly like the description and looks like it will fit two 1/6 skinny kegs but will be tight.I would recommend doing your homework before buying this. We learned that it’s harder than expected to get a CO2 tank filled in our area and a lot of the local brew shops (who sometimes can fill these tanks) close early.Additionally, this model is for domestic beers. Originally got this for Guiness but it wouldn’t be supported with the materials provided. We had to buy an all new tap, faucet, beer gas tank, etc. Still workshopping where to put the extra tank.A good buy and not too complicated. Would recommend for someone new to kegerators.

   As the title says- I was sick of paying too much for bottles, so I thought I would give this a shot. I keep the kegerator in my garage/wood shop, and it does what it’s supposed to!Only advice I would give is to make sure you buy all of the cleaning kit, as well as some faucet caps- it will prevent any kind of contamination between uses. Enjoy!

   We are so excited to add this to our bar setup. It was very easy to assemble. Some of the plastic pieces weren’t great quality, so we swapped out for some inexpensive metal options. We are having a small issue with the CO2 tank, it ran out in a few days and should’ve lasted months. This could be user error so we are trouble shooting. Like others mentioned, the drip tray is very small and could be better quality. Overall we are very happy with the quality for the price.
