Beer Dispenser Kegerator Refrigerator - EdgeStar



Disappointing
Good:
-Relatively easy to assemble
-provides a CO2 canister

Bad:
-Metal siding feels cheap and loose
-the tap at the top of the kegerator is loose and flimsy. It feels cheap...almost like it will break after a few uses.
-keg does not sit properly inside the kegerator for some strange reason and does not allow the door to fully close. In other words...the kegerator does not do a very good job of keeping a keg closed (which to me is the main purpose of a kegerator)

Overall, this product is a huge (and expensive) disappointment. I advise looking at other products.

Beware! Measure all kegs you want to use BEFORE ordering this thing!!!!
This kegerator says it holds full size kegs--it does not!! The interior is only 14.5 inches deep--from the condensor shelf in the back out to the front.
Any keg with a diameter larger than 14 inches will not fit!!
EdgeStar's "experts" say to just raise the keg above the condensor shelf with some cardboard and then it will fit! But there is a temperature gauge at the top inside, which limits the height. If you raised the keg up at all, all the hoses would be smashed against the top of the thing.
I think this would be perfect for someone who is brewing their own beer or will only use the smaller diameter kegs--not full size or pony kegs.
So before ordering this, please decide which kegs you will probably be using most. Unless you don't mind using bungee cords to keep the door shut and wrap it with blankets or something to keep the cold air in!

It's just alright.
I bought this product for my fiance for Christmas. It was shiped promptly and received fine. I bought this particular product because it was highly rated for several reasons: customer service from the manufacturer as well as premium function. Unfortunately, these are the two main issues wrong with the product in my case. We opened it up and assembled it. The spring in the handle on the coupler was broken, so when my fiance went to push down on it after retracting it (a "metal" part on the inside should have retracted with the handle) the inside locking mechanism broke off. It was SOOO not made of premium materials. I think it must be some kind of composite metal (something with alluminum). When we contacted the company, they were agressive on the phone and said we would have to pay for a new coupler (with the same crap materials). We said no thank you... instead, the company from whom I bought it was willing to replace the part for free. THAT was good customer service...
