WOW!
by:Fish Hunter (11-05-2009)
Arlington, Washington
Comments:Just for the record; The entire purchase was not flawless....

I finally made the choice to buy my new kegerator. I then placed my order and waited for the date that I would be delivered my new toy.
It was said that the time it would be at my home was between 12am to 4pm. After 6:27pm it was finally delivered.

When I unpacked the box I found each and every piece that was needed to manufacture the my kegerator in less than ever imagined.

The entire system, from the fridge to the upgraded co2 gage worked as advertised. For the price and the many homemade, and commercially manufactured kegerators, this is a no brainer.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.

Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
Fresh - Cold Beer
by:D. B. Cooper (05-23-2009)
Elk Grove, CA
Comments:I am slowly turning my girlfriends house into a bachlor pad. So far she is okay with it. This is our latest addition. We make about 5 gallons of home brew / week. It is much easier to keg it and dispense it, rather than bottle it.
The stainless steel door is nice and a selling point to my GF. Though it arrives with a sticker on the door that does not come off easily. I finished 3 or 4 beers before it was completly off.
Also, I upgraded the CO2 regulator but it hardly seems "professional". They supply these little plastic hose clamps that allow gas to leak at the fittings, change them out for real screw drive hose clamps. Also, I think I may have an internal leak inside the regulator, I tend to go through a bottle of CO2 much faster than my other keg dispenser.. on my boat.
Overall the problems are minor with this unit. I enjoy the ease with which I may have a fresh - cold beer. I recomend it for any home... or transforming bachlor pad application.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
Good Kegarator
by:Cuz Cuz (03-16-2009)
Tuolumne, California
Comments:This was purchased for home use. It has been a really nice addition to the garage, it keeps the beer really cold and the settings were easy to use to adjust the co2. It was also easy to put together and took little time. The only negative was that it came in two shipments on seperate days. OTher than that i would recommend this product to everyone who enjoys beer at home and on tap.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
Good kegerator
by:Bubba (10-13-2008)
Mississippi
Comments:Nice kegerator overall. Stainless steel plate on the bottom, great looking unit, nice draft arm and tap. The quality is as good as I was expecting, especially for the price. My only negatives are that it needs to be cranked down all the way to get the beer as cold as I like it, and it didn't come with a cleaning kit.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
Birthday Present
by:Kim P. (10-08-2008)

Comments:I purchased this for my boyfriend and he loves it. He makes his own beer and he has put two kegs in it. I maybe should have got the 2 faucet one. He called the Beverage Factory and was told the tap and parts could be ordered seperate. So far he seems to be real happy.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
a good option for the price
by:drunk in public (10-03-2008)

Comments:I like to throw parties and when I throw parties, I like to have kegs. I got tired of renting those crappy hand pumps and buying bags and bags of ice and still ending up with foamy beer and a tired arm. I wanted a kegerator but didn't want to break the bank. This kegerator is perfect for me. I don't keep a keg in it all the time so I can use it as a fridge for extra storage but when it's time to party, it's so nice to have that beer a simple pull away. I don't miss those hand pumps at all!

My only issue is that I sometimes have to throw a bag of ice on top of the keg. I talked to the guys at Beverage Factory about a foam problem I was having and because it wasn't staying below 38 degrees all the time, the beer could come out foamy from time to time. The unit seems to go between 37 and 41 degrees when it cycles and if it's in between cycles, there's foam. If it starts to get foamy, throwing the ice bag on top takes care of it and it still functions a lot better than a hand pump!

This kegerator is perfect for me because I wanted something cheap and don't mind the occasional bag of ice, but I gave it a three star rating because it's definitely not the top of the line.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
low price, high quality
by:Eddie the Drinker (10-02-2008)
Kalamazoo, MI
Comments:I like to have a keg around so I can pour a glass of beer at the end of the day. This unit is great in that I don't have to worry about bottles, bottle caps, cans, recycling or any of that. All I have to do is pull a lever and drink the beer, and I'm good at that! I don't ever really use the refrigerator feature because I pretty much replace the keg whenever I'm done with it.

If I had to pick something that's not great about it, the temperature can fluctuate and when it gets at the high end, the beer gets foamy.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
My new haier
by:1 Nascar Fan (09-22-2008)
Raleigh NC
Comments:After speaking with the Sales department at Beverage Factory. I decided to go with this model because of the price and value. It has a stainless steel door (it is not a silver laminate). Also it does have shelves which is conveniant to use as a second refrigerator when I won't have a keg. The packaging upon shipment was excellent it was double boxed and arrived in great shape.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
Great Value for the price
by:John in Idaho (08-01-2008)
Boise Idaho
Comments:Only 25 dollars more for a real Stainless Door help me make my decision. This unit also came with shelves so I have used it in between kegs as an extra refrigerator. All in all it was a great value and is working excellent in my home.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
perfect for me
by:TarHeel23 (07-04-2008)
Charlotte, NC
Comments:This is perfect for me. I have people over for events from time to time and wanted a kegerator that I could serve beer out of when they're here. I don't drink a ton otherwise and the fact that this one can be used as a fridge when you don't have beer in it is a big plus. The shelves go in and out very easily. Setup of the draft system is pretty simple too. And if you ever want to put just a pony or 5 gallon keg in there for personal use, the beer line is kong enough to reach them, no problem.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
 
Awesome!
by:Aaron D. (06-02-2008)

Comments:I love it. I've had this kegerator for 3 weeks and it's working great, not a single complaint. Keeps my beer cold, ready to drink at any time. I have a keg of Coors Light in it now and it fits fine. I think if you went with a bigger tank it would be tight but the one that came with it works. I couldn't be happier.
Bottom Line:I would recommend this product.
