Product review (5 stars): You get what you pay for
Ordered this unit because it was the absolute cheapest kegorator I could find. It arrived three business days later (free standard shipping!). When the unit arrived it had two small dents on each side of the fridge. These are purely cosmetic annoyances and I have accepted that due to the low cost of the item. I waited the appropriate 8+ hours to plug it in per the instruction manual, and put the setting to the medium position just to be safe. The unit turned on and cooled within an hour. Turned the knob to max and everything is working as advertised.

**IMPORTANT**

The included manual is not very good. It doesn't include anything about installing the rubber washer required to securely attach the tower to the fridge. This washer came attached to the "beer tower hole plug" and can easily be overlooked as part of this assembly which is not needed. Luckily I read many reviews that mentioned the necessity of this washer. Like other reviewers have stated, you will know that something is not right because the tower installs easily and is wobbly. Installation of the tower with this washer is semi difficult. All I did was take a wet paper towel and dampen the washer. This allowed it to slide into place a bit easier.

The unit is not as loud as others have suggested, and does not run continuously.

The unit does not generate as much heat as others have suggested.

With proper assembly (following instructions) my kegorator looks exactly like the one pictured. Some have said the tower was offset at an angle, mine assembled correctly. I did not install the casters due to other reviewers mentioning the inability of them to support the full weight of a keg and the fridge.

The guard rail is solid metal. I have no idea how this would easily break as some have suggested.

BOTTOM LINE: This kegorator is a mini fridge that the company refitted with a new door and drilled a hole in the top to allow the tower to be mounted. If you want a professional keg cooler, or a larger kegorator you should go buy or build one, but be prepared to spend much more. You get what you pay for.

**UPDATE**

Things to consider before buying: Know your keg coupler types, I didn't before this keg arrived and had to purchase a different one. Keg couplers are different for many types of beers. The included keg coupler is mainly for U.S. types of beer, that's fine unless you want a European beer. Keg couplers are not cheap, around 60 bucks a piece.

The cooler chills to about 40 degrees F. This is fine for my needs

**UPDATE** 9/29/13

Been through multiple kegs with this product and I am still impressed and it is still running like new.
