Great Unit when it works
by:keyman (10-17-2008)
New Bedford, MA
Pros:Easy To Operate, Good Value
Cons:Low Quality
Best Uses:Home Bar, Home Brewer
Describe Yourself:Home Brewer, Beer Enthusiast
Comments:Great little unit when you finally get one that works. I would buy elsewhere next time as I had problems with my unit and nearly 4 weeks to receive a replacement from the Beverage Factory. Very poor customer service from both Beverage Factory and Avanti
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
Great for Local Homebrews
by:BrewMaster (08-04-2008)
Williamsburg, VA
Pros:Good Value
Cons:
Best Uses:Home Brewer
Describe Yourself:Home Brewer
Comments:I have been brewing my own beer for years now, but do not have space for a large kegerator. I can bottle and tap my own beer easily.

I also have some great local breweries that offer 5L kegs. It is not the cheapest way to go, but it sure tastes good. I found replacement Co2 canisters at a local paintball shop. So it has not been a problem getting replacement cartridges.

I have had this kegerator for over 4 months and it is working great so far. I would definetly recommend it to fellow home brewers.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.

Describe Yourself:Bargain Hunter, Practical
Comments:My Salesman recommended this unit because it is capable of doing all the 5 litre kegs. I assembled it in less than 10 minutes and plugged in on the counter. Even though it is small it's convienant not having the beer in my refrigerator.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.

serves it's purpose
by:J Miller (07-17-2008)
Trenton, NJ
Pros:Durable, Good Value
Cons:
Best Uses:Home Bar
Describe Yourself:Beer Enthusiast, Practical
Comments: Ive had my avanti for about 4 months and it's so much better than having all the bottles and cans around the house. My roommates and I have a few beers a night so it adds up quick. It's nice to just pull the handle and get a cold glass of beer whenever you want. The hook up is easier for some kegs than others, and there's not a lot of beers available in these types of kegs, but we've tried out some good new beers just because they fit in here. I hope some more brands are offered soon but if that's the worst issue, that's not bad!
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
Good little kegerator
by:DarkKnight_01 (07-09-2008)
wake forest, NC
Pros:Easy To Operate, Good Value
Cons:
Best Uses:Home Bar
Describe Yourself:Bargain Hunter, Practical
Comments:I don't need a big old keg just for myself so this has come in handy for myself and an occasional friend. I seem to go with Heineken the most since those kegs are the easiest for me to find but it does a good job. I wish it got a little bit colder but it works well enough for a casual drinker like me. I keep it on my table right next to my couch and I can have a beer on tap whenever I want!
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
Read the DVD!
by:Dental Drinker (07-02-2008)
Davidson, NC
Pros:Good Value
Cons:
Best Uses:Home Bar
Describe Yourself:Beer Enthusiast
Comments:The only thing I can recommend is to read the DVD before you get started. It only took around 10 minutes to set up after watching the demonstration. By reading and watching, I managed to avoid Co2 leaks and foamy beer.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
Great for Casual Drinker
by:Eric Taylor (06-26-2008)
Fogelsville, PA
Pros:Easy To Operate, Good Value
Cons:
Best Uses:Home Bar
Describe Yourself:Practical
Comments:If you enjoy beer fresh from the keg, but do not think you can drink an entire keg, then this keg tap meets those requirements. This kegerator comes with a DVD that gives a great demonstration on how to setup and use the beer tap. I chose this model because I did not want to be limited to just Heineken. I am happy with the quality and the price. The materials on this model are not all high quality, but for the price and weight, this is a good deal.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
A+ Little kegerator
by:BrewCrew007 (06-25-2008)
Charleston, SC
Pros:Good Value
Cons:
Best Uses:Home Bar
Describe Yourself:Beer Enthusiast
Comments:My girlfriend got me this kegerator about 4 months ago and I've already gone through several kegs. I use it mostly for parties and it does a really good job dispensing the beer. Not too much head, always pretty cold, and it's a good cheap option for a kegerator. I definitely give it an A+! I am hoping for more keg selection in the future though.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
