Product review (3 stars): A High Maintenance and Glitchy Kegerator Alternative, But Can Work Well Under Limited Circumstances
I bought this for my boyfriend for Xmas 2014 and we had a major foaming issue from the get-go with the pressurized Heineken 5L mini kegs. Researched on-line and found that excessive foam is a common problem.  Doh! Then went to a local home brew supply store and they said that over-foaming is a very common problem with commercial kegerators, whether mini kegs or the large ones because . . . drum roll please . . . we live in Denver and the altitude screws things up!  Anyway, he suggested getting longer tubes (5-10 ft long) to provide more resistance and decrease the foam, but we haven't tried that or needed to because we install the conversion kit and are only tapping beer from our two favorite micro breweries in town which sell growlers ("to go" beer containers -- usually 32 ozs or 64 ozs)! (River North Brewery is super cool and Mountain Sun/Vine Street Pub will fill a mini keg too.) Ever since installing the conversion kit, we haven't had the foaming problem because you can dial the CO2 pressure up or down. That being said, we just notice a CO2 leakage/pressure problem, which he hopefully can fix. (Good thing he's an engineer.)

For those of you who are not interested in the conversion kit because you either don't home brew (like us) or you have a shortage of micro breweries nearby who will fill your empty mini-kegs, there is almost NO supply of 5L mini kegs sold in US liquor stores, other than Heineken, New Castle Brown Ale and Breckenridge Brewery's Winter and Summer 5L seasonal kegs, popular for party-goers. (There is one place in Michigan that has many European/German 5L mini kegs -- where 5L kegs are more popular and common -- but they don't ship out of state or directly to consumers.)  I bought this for my boyfriend so he could have a variety of draft beers at home and not have to wait a month to change out a pony keg, but the little know fact is there are almost no commercial beers sold in 5L kegs.  Do research on buying or filling 5L mini-kegs in your area before buying this product.

All that being said, it is a nice-looking fun present that is, per glass, an expensive way to get draft beer, but it's sure nice to have an ice cold draft without leaving your house or straying far from your couch!

P.S., if you go this route, it's a pain to clean and you'll have to buy mini-kegs, bungs, keg wash and sanitizer (as well as a keg brush) too.  Yup, more toys for this expensive appliance and hobby!
