• Warranty: 90 days labor, 1 year parts

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.

Buy Beer Dispenser Kegerator Refrigerator - EdgeStar Now

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.

Negatives:

-I would not buy this product and expect to be helped beyond having it delivered to your door (from Edgestar atleast).

-Expect really really really crappy materials.

-Directions are contradictory regarding use of CO2 tank and direction of valve handle.

-Not cold enough.

Positives:

-Fridge fits sixtills (spelling wrong) and half kegs perfectly.

-BEER!

This product has it all-incorrect instructions, insufficiently cold temperature, short (three year) life span, and truly horrific customer service! And don't forget the loose, unsecured tower.

When my wife assembled this to surprise me three years ago, she followed the directions to a tee, but the directions included a mistake that caused a leak. That led me to customer service, expecting that in a few minutes or so a knowledgeable technician would be able to diagnose the problem and guide me to fix it. Guess again! You can't ever get someone live on the phone when you call, and they may call back in a couple of days, when you're out or at work. Email was equally frustrating, with lengthy delays in responses and short, terse replies that consistently reflected no concern for either "customers" or "service". Of course, an easy solution to this would have been to schedule a time in advance when we might connect by phone, but Edge Star's customer service folks refused to do that. After SIX WEEKS of trying to get some diagnostic help to solve the leak, I gave up and figured it out myself.

The kegerator has never been cold enough (strange, isn't that the whole point?), but now, after only 3 years, the kegerator won't go beneath mid-40s even with adjustments to the thermostat. Predictably, customer service has been useless, blaming my keg! So now I am shopping for a replacement -ABE: Anyone But Edgestar!

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!

Very nice addition to the "man cave". Cuts the cost of beer by close to half when compared to buying by case
