   The Good:1. Simple operation — its a bit daunting at first, but once you’ve done a few kegs, it’s pretty simple to set up later kegs.2. Good pour — you may have to crank up the CO2 a bunch on the reusable growler, but it does put out the beer quickly.3. Great temp control — you can adjust very easily, and it keeps the beer nice and chilly4. Sleek design — looks really cool on the counter.5. Reusable growler — Holds 5l, very easy to take with you to your favorite brewery. Easy to install.The Not-so-Good:1. Loud. It’s not really much louder than a fan, but noticeable. Think about your refrigerator’s compressor, that’s what it sounds like, but it goes far more often. If you have a very quiet room you are keeping this in, you’ll definitely notice the fan blowing near-constantly.2. Fragile. Be VERY careful when using the tap hose, as it can break apart if you’re not careful.3. Heady. The beer is gonna come out with a lot of head, unless you crank the CO2 into the basement, and then its not going to put out the beer above a trickle.4. Reusable Growler Handle is very flimsy. It’ll probably break if you try to carry the beer by the handle.5. A little tricky. If you haven’t had a beer tap system before, take some time to read the manual carefully to see exactly how to set up the components properly (how tight to screw in the CO2, how to install a gravity keg, etc).THE VERDICT: Good value for the money, and it’s a nifty little counter system for hosting small get-togethers. It has a bit of a learning curve and some issues, but still worth the money.

   If you don’t understand why someone would like to have a beer tap in their home without the bulk of a kegerator, you’re not going to like this. For everyone else, this is for you!I previously owned a Sub Home Tap from Krups/Hopsy but they are now out of business, so I needed an alternative for my countertop beer fridge/dispenser. This is a very good alternative to that. It keeps the beer at a crispy 38 or so degrees, but it struggles to get any colder and it keeps the beer pressurized. I’ve noticed that the CO2 knob is a little finicky, sometimes I get lots of foam, sometimes it’s on the flat side and if I adjust it too much, it swings wildly in the other direction. I chock some of this up to a learning curve. What seems to work is to start off on the low side of the dial and every time you pour, turn it up just a few degrees. The appliance is pretty bulky, but it holds 5L, so the size is mostly due to the size of the vessel. You get a good amount of pours from this before needing a refill.My only real nits are that after I fill up the included 5L mini-keg at my local sudshouse, it drips foam out of the nozzle pretty much constantly until I get it hooked up to the unit. It’s a minor inconvenience, but something to be aware of. Bring a few paper towel with you or your car will smell like a brewery after transporting. And that the fan on it is pretty loud when it’s running. About as loud as an oscillating fan.You could just buy a growler from the sudshouse and keep it in your fridge, but you miss the tactile satisfaction of using the tap handle and you have to make room in the fridge. Bottom line, it performs as described with only a few minor issues, but it’s really great to have cold beer on tap in the home.

   After seeing so many negative reviews we decided to purchase this mini kegerator. It really does help to have some knowledge about draft systems and how they work. The mistake that most people make is giving it too much Co2 and then complaining of too much foam. You got to realize that YOU are the regulator with these kind of systems. In other words the Co2 dial is basically like a garden hose in that it doesn’t automatically stop at a certain pressure no matter how much or how little you turn it on. It will eventually just empty out all the co2 into the mini keg and then all you will get is foam. It needs to be either “on” or “off”. What we do is after we install tap into mini keg and place into mini kegerator, we hook it up to the 2 hose attachments then fill up glass until it starts to pour very little beer. We then turn co2 on for about 5 seconds and then turn off. This provides enough pressure to provide a well poured beer with a proper head. Also it’s good to pre-chill the mini keg in a regular household refrigerator before hooking it up and pouring beers. We use a Gatorade bottle filled with cold water and it provides the perfect amount of water to fill basin and will steadily keep beer at 36f. Another thing is there are about 3 different type bungs that come on these commercially sold 5 liter mini kegs. 2 of them have a rubber rim and work fine without having to completely remove and replace the bung that comes with the the mini keg. But one type such as the one that comes with Fruh kolsch 5 liter mini kegs must be completely removed because it is all plastic with no rubber rim to seal. The unit does comes with a reusable rubber bung that you place into the mini keg and use We made our own tools consisting of panel pulling pliers and tools that work easily and hassle free to remove these type of bungs that must be removed. We do have a full size kegerator and keep full size kegs for draft at home but we do like to serve 5 liter mini kegs of various German beers as “special guests” and we are very happy with this mini kegerator. But for those new to this, it really helps to watch YouTube videos so to get at least a general understanding of how these systems work before giving up and writing a trash review.

   I’ve had this a couple of months now, and after the initial trial run I’ve come to like it. The first mini keg was difficult to set up. But the 2nd one was much easier. It takes a little time to figure out when to use the co2. If I use it while pouring it seems to foam, but if I pouring and then fill the empty space with co2 it works much better. You can hear when it’s full. I haven’t found anywhere to fill the growler that comes with it, but mini kegs have been easy to find. Stays constantly at 39-40 degrees. Some say the fan is loud but I don’t even notice it. Mini keg lasts about 30 day before it starts to get flat. Hope it lasts for a while because I’m really enjoying having it
