This freestanding, refrigerated Kegorator dispenses beer easily and quickly to even the thirstiest crew - and even has a double tap, for dispensing up to two of you favorite brews. It includes swivel casters, making it mobile enough to roll around the clubhouse, pool area or anywhere you want to get the party started and includes a 2-1/2-pound CO2 bottle (empty), good for about four 15-gallon kegs, and weeks worth of use. Unit features a 13-inch chrome tower and guard rail, dual spring loaded top-mounted tappers and double CO2 regulators. The unit's "D" coupler fits US Sankey keg valves and the unit's interior can hold up to two 1/6 barrel (5.23 Gallon) kegs, one 1/4 barrel short (7-3/4-gallon) keg, one 1/4 barrel slim (7-3/4) keg or one 1/2 barrel (15-1/2-gallon) keg. Interior temperature is regulated via an adjustable thermostat - and the unit can even be used as a standard refrigerator.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

A decent residential Kegerator
This replaced an old 3 tap Beverage Aire Commercial kegerator I had go out on me. I didn't want to spend $1500.00+ for a new commercial quality one, so I opted for this unit. I'll list the Pros and Cons as I see them.
First the Pros...
1) Has (2) taps.
2) Looks good.
3) Good range of temperatures (approx. 33-40 degrees F.)
4) Uses half the power of my old kegerator.
5) Actually hold (3) home brew kegs (5 gallon).
6) Good quality dual gauge regulator.
7) So far seems to be reliable.
Now the Cons...
1) Co2 tank is too small (2.5 lb). It should come with a 5 lb. tank. (I have a couple of 15 lb. tanks so not a big deal for me)
2) Cheap quality beer lines. (I recommend you replace them w/ 5-6 feet of 3/16" I.D. high quality beer line)
3) Cheap quality gas line.
4) Standard brass faucets. (I replaced w/ my S.S. Perlick forward seal faucets)
5) Black plastic top seems cheap.
6) Drip tray does not fit...

Good, but not straight forward
Overall I'm happy with this kegerator. It keeps the beer cold and was easy to setup. I will add a few caveats. First, I'm using homebrew corny kegs so I did not really test or use the tubing or keg fittings that they provide. Maybe I will some day, but that wasn't my intent. Second, the beer tower will not keep the lines cold. This is not unique to this product, but similar for all kegerators in this price range. (Hot air rises) I built a cheap fan to circulate cold air there and things are working great now (just look for cooling keg tower on the internet). Third, for me in particular, it took a lot of trial and error with keg pressures and beer tubing length to get a good poor without it being all foam. So, while I feel the product is good, know that it is probably not as simple is just buying it and it will be perfect from day one...
There were two negatives from this kegerator to call out. First, the CO2 cylinder is only 2.5lbs which won't last very long. I...
Piece of junk
Unfortunately when I was purchasing this item there were no reviews to warn me. I should have returned when I opened the box and saw all the dents to the exterior of the kegorator. Now I am past the return window.
Within 60 days we had to replace the tubing and gauge. The gauge didn't work and the parts to seal the tubes were cheap and ineffective at sealing.
For the last 60 days there has been an increase in the noise generated by the cooling unit. The cooling unit now sounds as though whole thing is going to fall apart.
Don't think that buying this unit will save you money. In the long run buying any other kegorator is better. It may cost more up front but at least you don't have to dump money into it every couple of months just to keep it working. I previously owned a Haier and wish I had purchased one again.
