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 properly around the beer tower. And it just sits movable, not fixed on top.

7) Casters are too small and don't rotate well.

Of course these are just my opinions and going from a commercial quality kegerator to a residential type, I have lots of nit pick things about it.

All in all, I would recommend this to people who would like a little variety instead of the single tap single beer at a time.

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 already had a 5lb one, so I can live with it. Second, the taps are not great quality and are prone to being hard to move. My learning shows that this won't happen if purchasing higher quality taps, but it's still usable so that can wait. At least this can be upgraded later.

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.

This kegerator disappointed me enough to log in a write a review. This may be a great Kegerator for people who purchase a keg with the beer, but this is not good for the homebrewer. This will not work with the Cornelius Kegs(corny kegs or soda keg). You will have to replace all the connectors off the tap and completely rebuild the lines from the CO2. Basically for the homebrewer, you are buying this for the fridge and double beer tap. The CO2 tank, regulator, hoses etc are a waste of money. I was unable to return it since it took us 4 months before we took it out of the box. We had a remodeling job in our house and we decided to wait before we put it together. That was a big mistake on my part, but I was able to make it work for what we need. The unit itself is very nice, but since we were unable to use any of the equipment that came with it, I feel we over paid. A homebrewer would be better off building one or buy one that is made with the connections that are required for the corny kegs. One other thing, the instruction are crap.

im not knowledgeable about kegs at all so i did some research before purchasing this as a christmas gift for my fiance. it seemed like you could get beer in a 5 gal keg but its not the case. the idea was to have a light and dark on tap at all times but with limited availability its just not worth it. the first one came SEVERELY damaged and was sent back. amazon overnighted me a replacement and it had a small ding but i was gonna keep it.... until i found out about the limited availability. sending the second one back and the single tap should be here today, just in time.
