Product review (4 stars): Huh?... my unit is fine,
This unit is not perfect, I estimate the beer to be about 37-38 degrees maxed out, but I've yet to try tweaking the thermostat- I think 34-35F would be ideal. I'm on my second keg now and I've dialed in the regulator so that it pours a decent pint without too much foam- disregard the actual gauge and just start real low and work your way up the PSI's a tiny bit each day until you get the pour you desire; understand that you can relieve some headspace through the sanke. I bought a European sanke for my 2nd keg of Stella Artois, and everything is pretty beautiful really. Got a new keg handle to replace the small black handle included and the entire unit doesn't exactly have a expensive, finely crafted feel to it, but it all works well enough. I rarely notice the noise of the compressor even though its only about 15ft away from our seats and 6' off to the right of my 65" plasma TV. Some of my friends definitely seem a bit jealous and plan on getting their own, so that's obviously a good reflection on this kegerator. For the price I think you get a good product, but I guess the quality control might not be best if all these others consumers are so bent out of shape with it. I appreciate the spare parts provided and have had no problems fitting a full size keg, or a corney keg for that matter, in it like others have and the castors seem just fine- maybe transport is mostly at fault here, but mine was double boxed and seemed somewhat well protected. I did let mine sit for a day before I turned it on in case it got inverted along the way- as I understood that these things really need everything to drain back into the bottom if they get flipped en route. I know at least 2 peeps who are looking to buy this unit in the next couple months and the shipped price with Amazon Prime is excellent! Maybe I got lucky, I didn't think to write a review until I saw that Amazon was evaluating the selling of it, but ive owned it since mid-May and I am quite happy with it. If it came with a 5lb CO2 bottle instead of the smaller 2.5lb bottle I would have given it a full 5-star review!
