I chose the Sanyo because I heard the Haier model has problems getting down below 40 degrees. This one has no problems keeping a half barrel ice cold. This is a great looking keg cooler that comes with pretty much eveything you need. The only cons are the vinyl tube clips are cheap plastic that don't get tight enough, and the drip tray is also a cheap plastic tray. I immediately replaced these with metal and just bought a double regulator (it comes with a good Taprite single regulator) so I can gauge the remaining CO2 in the tank.

The Sanyo Beer Cooler really has no competition in it's price range, so they were apparently able to cut corners during manufacturing. First let me say that it dispenses draft beer, so it'll pay for itself in about 6 kegs.

But here are my complaints with it: 1. The door doesn't close perfectly, there's never a tight seal even after trying to clean the gaskets. Which may lead to 2. It doesn't get cold enough. I like my beer somewhat warm, so i't not a huge deal for me, but not everyone does and this can't get cold without leading to problem 3. The inside-back of the fridge FREEZES up. Without a keg in it (or I use soda kegs sometimes) the ice block gets so big there's no way to get a full-size keg in. If you leave a keg in there long enough, the ice will actually form over the keg so you need to break it off to remove keg. It's a pain.

So why did I give it 4 stars? Because there's nothing else I can recommend for the same price. And you get fresh DRAFT beer at 1/2 the price of canned or bottled and don't have to worry about recycling or going to the liquor store every weekend.

This Sanyo kegerator is a great little fridge. It has the capacity for a 1/2 barrel keg with the include 5# CO2 cylinder inside if you want to get a keg from your local liquor store, or you can use it for 5 gal corny kegs filled with homebrew. You can fit two standard corny kegs side by side in the fridge with the CO2 bottle. There is floorspace for 4 corny kegs or 3 & the CO2 bottle, but the top of the fridge in the back dips down about an inch too low to fit a corny keg under it. Easiest solution is to chop off half of the rubber handle on the corny keg and you can fit in two front to back with a full 6 gal carboy & airlock next to them or another corny keg. It works great for lagering and is a pretty good unit overall. The CO2 regulator that is included is single gauge (dispense pressure) but a second gauge for CO2 bottle pressure can easily be attached.

it is a good beer dispenser, very cold beer, nice looking unit. most of the parts are good quality. had the haier(spelling issue) unit before, always had problems. this sanyo, so far, has exceeded the expectations. the larger cooling panel is very helpful and needed. the only complaint I have is the shipping. unit arrived very beat up and battered. not sanyo nor amazon's fault, just a common problem with anything shipped UPS. will attempt to get a resolution to that in the comming days. I will keep you posted. other very minor complaints, screw holes are not lined up well at all. you will be best advised to tap your own holes before screwing anything down. instructions are rather poor. if you don't already know about kegorators you will not know how to run this, research co2 adjustments and pressures first. the castors on the bottom should be locking. easy enough replacement if you have any handyman ability. but manufacturer should have thought about that first. and as you've read in other reviews, the drip pan is extremely half arsed and cheap.

amazon continues to be the best place on line to buy at the best price. i looked for this product at the best price for a while. when amazon finally put it online i jumped on it. as compaired to other purchases and the speed of delivery this is last. it took three business days for it to be shipped and i ended up driving 50 miles to the shipper to pick it up. all in all it was worth the kegerator.

amazon don't use eagle USA, they smear your reputation!
