Product review (5 stars): great cheap kegerator
- as other reviewers have noted, this unit must have had some revisions.
- I can confirm dumb instructions. as the other reviewers have noted there is 1 very important gasket that isn't mentioned on 1 of the (oddly) multiple sets of different instructions. USE THE INSTRUCTIONS OTHER AMAZON REVIEWERS HAVE WRITTEN. This is one of the first times I ever found multiple reviews of Amazon products to be actually invaluable.
- I can confirm extra parts. there are so many parts left over, it might be worrisome to some. some are for converting into a regular fridge (yay) - no idea what the rest are
- I can confirm a smaller CO2 can. most places just want to give you what they already have and don't carry this size so you might have to wait for them to fill it (if they can). I actually like the smaller size though (would give you more space inside the kegerator if needed). the smaller size will still last forever. other reviewers have complained about too much or too little foam. that's their fault -- you have to fine tune the CO2 pressure to your desired level, then set it and forget it. yes you will waste a little bit of beer for this. not enough to complain.
- I did not need to use any adjustment tricks to get a good cold temp. temp was great.
- pourer was very sturdy and didn't move whatsoever
- there was a ding due to shipping, but barely noticeable. suggest better, thicker foam, or flexible foam
- overall pleasing, simple, sturdy unit, great for the price (I paid $349)
