Product review (5 stars): Love it!
I ordered on Friday and it was delivered on Tuesday.  It comes in two boxes and is protected well.  Like other people have said, there are a lot of spare parts, o-rings, washers, hose clamps, etc.  The instruction manual isn't the best, but you can still figure it all out.  I let mine sit for 24 hours before I plugged it in.  With the thermostat on max it hit 35 degrees in a few hours.  Backed it off a little and it is sitting easily at 38.  I can't comment on the gauges because I already had a nice set that I'm using.  With the pressure at 8psi it pours a nice, cold beer with just the right amount of head.  I've only had this for a few days, but so far I love it!  The only negative is Amazon dropped the price $10 after I ordered mine!
