Keggermeister KM2800SS Kegerator Full-Size Single-Tap Beer Refrigerator and Dispenser, Stainless St

Keggermeister KM2800SS Kegerator Full-Size Single-Tap Beer Refrigerator and Dispenser, Stainless Steel
  • Full-size single-tap beer dispenser keeps beer fresh for up to 3 months
  • Accommodates a full-size keg, pony keg, or 2 5-gallon kegs
  • Adjustable temperature control; 3-sided chrome guard rail around top work surface
  • Smooth-rolling casters; UL-approved for commercial use; CO2 bottle included
  • Measures 25 by 21 by 49 inches

The Kegerator comes packaged in double "double walled" boxes with a lot of Styrofoam packaging materials and materials. All of the minor components are neatly organized in a separate box inside of the Kegerator fridge. After removing all the pieces and laying them out, I began to read the instruction manual. The manual content is very clear and concise with well illustrated pictures on the assembly of the unit and pieces. The box was undamaged in shipping .

Assembly is fairly simple, anyone with basic knowledge of hand tools should have no problem. It takes about 20-30 minutes to get it put together and running, the one thing I would advise any owner is to take your time and learn the pieces of the dispensing system while you assemble it. This is critical in understanding how everything works in order to be able to trouble shoot any issues should they arise.

The unit comes with a 2.5lb C02 tank that I was able to get filled up for less than ten bucks. I recommend a local paint ball shop since they are better equipped to fill this size of tanks up. Welding supply shops also work.

Once everything is assembled and it was plugged in it turned right on and gave a silent hum as if to let me know it was on. Even with the compressor cycling on and off it still maintains a very minimal noise level.

After allowing the refrigerator to operate with no keg in it for 24 hours I decided to give it a test drive. The first keg used was a Pony Keg of Budlight. After letting the Keg sit and cool in the Kegerator for another 24 hours it was time for the first pour which resulted in nothing but foam. After doing a bit of trouble shooting I realized I had opened the valve on the C02 tank all the way for max flow. This resulted in over pressurizing the keg. To fix this I closed the valve and adjusted the regulator to having it near closed. I then pulled the pressure release pin on the coupler releasing the built up C02 in the keg. The next glass I poured came out perfectly pure golden bliss with a decent layer of foam.

About 40 minutes layer I tried to fill up a pitcher of beer and was presented with a near perfect pour. This was more than enough of evidence that there was a consistent pressure and was at an optimal level for consistent pouring.

I purchased the black unit after a side by side comparison the stainless steel definitely would look great in someones kitchen. The reason why i did not purchase the stainless steel unit is because i preferred the black exterior. The chrome guardrail and stainless steel spout add a nice touch to the overall exterior of the unit. Cleanup is easy and was simple with just a bit of standard surface cleaner. I was also able to change out the tap handle with a standard Brewing Company handle.

Keg's that have been run through this unit: Pyramid Hefeweizen, Budlight, Budweiser, and Dos Equis

I guess I should have known this unit would be made in China, thus the reason it seemed so reasonably priced. I bought this unit from another source so Amazon is not reflected in this review at all. The unit had minor damage from its long journey. The instruction booklet is a joke. You get a bag of small rubber washers and parts of various sizes with no cross reference to where they go. If they told you thickness and diameter of the washers relating to where they go it would have helped. The Co2 line is very small diameter and possibly inadequate. The biggest problem is unit will not get beer colder than 45 degrees at best with the thermostat maxed out. I won't go into the support or lack thereof since Amazon was not involved in this transaction. My advise, look at another unit or do your own conversion making sure to get a thermostat that will get beer cold.

For the price, this is a great buy. I've read mixed reviews, but had no trouble with mine. The beer is staying the right temperature, the Co2 is tricky to figure out, but would be on any keggerator I think. Very happy with this!

Maytag Refrigerator Icemaker Ice Maker & Water Valve 61005273

Maytag Refrigerator Icemaker Ice Maker & Water Valve 61005273
  • Maytag

Product arrived on time, easy to install, ( alright, not if you're a girl!) and works perfectly. Note of caution, if you install a new ice maker also, make sure the water level is not set too high when you first install it. I have higher than average water pressure, and the water valve works on time, not pressure!

Great replacement for the original that was wearing out. Easy to install and I have had no problems with it.

My old valve had 2 male ports. This replacement--and is noted as such by mfgr--has a male and a female. HOWEVER, this female connection is a compression connection, which required no additional parts. You simply push the flexible water line into the valve opening, then pull back out some to 'snug up' the connection. EASY fit, no leaks!!

Looked a bit different from the one I pulled out. When I installed it, it worked flawlessly. Does what it is supposed to!

Icemaker was genning,but not filling. I replaced both items, but I am quite shure this was the only problem. Exact match to my old part.

Whirlpool GSF26C4EXW Gold 26.4 Cu. Ft. White Side-By-Side Refrigerator - Energy Star

Whirlpool GSF26C4EXW Gold 26.4 Cu. Ft. White Side-By-Side Refrigerator - Energy StarWe've had this refrigerator for for about 4 months and it's driving me crazy! There is a loud fan/motor that comes on frequently to shuttle cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator compartment and it makes quite a racket. We can hear the noise from more than 20 feet away even when watching TV. It's so loud we thought it was broken so had the Whirlpool tech come out for service. He said there's nothing wrong and that's just how it is supposed to work. We've had guests comment on the sound wondering if there was a problem with our "new" refrigerator!

There's also a loud buzzing noise made whenver you use the ice or water dispenser and the same noise happens when it automatically refills the icemaker or water reservoir. I would inquire about this desing on any of the Whirlpool models and definitely not buy this or any other model with similar design.

After 15 months, just outside of the one year warranty, the freezer stopped holding a freezing temp. The ice in the ice maker melted flooding the ice dispenser motor compartment, so it no longer dispenses ice. The items in the freezer will be thawed, but the water dispenser line will be frozen. Now I need to pay whirlpool to fix this defective product, I guess it is a profit deal. Whirlpool's customer service is horrible too, I will not buy from whirlpool again. Their customer service they have referred me to for repairs is a voice mail only number and the voice mail is full. I have been over two weeks trying to paid for service from this company.

Vector VEC-222 Mini Console Cooler/Warmer with 9 Can Capacity

Vector VEC-222 Mini Console Cooler/Warmer with 9 Can CapacityI bought the vector cooler warmer (16 can version, same item), and tried it out. The metal element inside got cold, but it couldn't chill a small bottle of water after 3 hoursno way it was 40 degrees belwo my room temp of 75 degrees. No wonder this thing is always on clearance. It did a little better on metal cans of soda directly touching the element, but not by much. The manual says for best results the food should be put in cold, or with an icepack, but as soon as it's shut off theres no insulation to keep the food cold, so the food quickly reaches room temp, according to the manual! Besides if I have to put in pre-chilled food and icepacks Im beter off using my insulated cooler which works, and is much more space efficient! Plus, the cooler only ostensibly brings the temp down to up to 40 degrees below ambient temp ( after 3 hours). I guess in a car where the temps go up to 130 degrees in the sun it would keep the food at 90 or so. I bought it for fifteen dol. on clearance , but returned it today. It simply wasn't worth the price. I would stay clear of this product. The only exeption I can think of is for someone who needs it only for metal cans of soda or beer and can wait several hours for a cool drink, although a cooler would still be more practical and cost effective.

I bought this because I have medication that needs to be refrigerated. I've used it for water and also used it to keep things warm. Mine gets very cold very quick and heats up so quick I had to actually take a bag out because I was afraid it would burn the plastic bag I put in. So I turned it off and it kept the items warm till I got home which was over an hour. As far as cold, I only use an icepack if I'm going to leave stuff in the car for a couple hours. I forgot it one time and left my water in overnight till about 2:00 the next afternoon and the icepack was only melted about halfway. I'd say that's pretty good.

I bought this cooler in preparation for a cross-country roadtrip this coming summer, with a 2-yr-old who loves his milk. I also bought the ac wall adapter (sold separately) so that we could keep the milk safe and cold overnight in a hotel in case there's no mini-fridge in our room. I sure am glad I bought both! Before we even left for our trip, our fridge at home konked out. We had to throw out lots of food, but we were able to keep enough milk cold and fresh for our little guy by keeping it in this cooler. It was plugged in for 48 straight hours, and worked like a champ. Needless to say, the milk was already cold when we put it in there, or it wouldv'e been down the drain for the milk too. Which brings me to this point: nowhere in the literature does the manufacturer claim that this product is a chiller. Of course it won't chill things that are at room temp, that's not what its made for. It won't chill warm water any more than it will cook a cold sandwich. But for the purpose it is advertised, to keep cold things cold, I found it to do a great job. It really came through for us in a pinch.

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas. He is a truck driver & brings his lunch on the road with him everyday. Usually, he brings sandwiches & other things that can be kept at room temperature. Well, he's so happy with this product because now he can bring a larger variety of items, such as grilled cheese sandwiches, pasta leftovers & hot dogs. He said it works great & keeps everything nice & hot. He hasn't had a need for the cooler part yet, but the warmer makes it all worth the purchase!
