Product review (3 stars): Great looking kegerator but no auto-defrost
Comes complete with CO2 gauge, hoses, tap, empty CO2 bottle- all you need is to fill the CO2 bottle (or swap it for a full one at your liquor store) and buy a keg. Carefully double boxed so shipping damage is unlikely, mine arrived in pristine condition. Slightly misaligned screw holes made installing the tap tower and guard rail difficult. Comes with two wire shelves if you go on the wagon and want to turn it into a refrigerator. Great, sturdy looking unit all around and the motor runs very quiet. The label on the rear panel displays "Assembled in USA" but take that panel off and the inside label says Made in China. I feel like a fossil that I can remember when stuff was made in the US.

I've been using it for 6 months and the only problem I've had is the frost buildup around the thermostat sensor. The ice buildup seems to throw off the thermostat and my beer was pouring in the low 40's. A ten minute defrosting with a hair dryer brought my beer back down around 35F but still a bit of a hassle. Despite what the product description might say this unit does not have an auto defrost so when you're looking at other kegerators make sure it has an active heating defrost element. To be fair, I use a swamp cooler and the extra humidity could be to blame for the excessive frost and this might not be an issue for you.
