I bought this for the intention of a non-pressurized 5L keg use. I have to say, pain in the rear from the start. First unit arrived with no damage and look clean. I flushed the hoses and performed all start-up maintenance with the little mini-kegerators. After initializing the CO2 cartridge. All CO2 was pushing through the valve stem into the mini-keg. Pressurizing the keg and not the beer. Called manufacture and they told me that this was a known product defect and to send back. By the way, I could see why EdgeStar has a bad customer service repoire. I received the unit in 10 days to find that it was a refurbished unit. Rust on the faucet handle and scrapes inside the housing. Stainless steel not layered in a clean plastic for protection. Dead give away. Unit in fact, this time time pour when faucet was completely vertical. Checked the valve screw and was in as far as can be. Called customer service and they refunded without sending out another unit. DO NOT BUY. I don't have any suggestions for a better mini-kegerator. If you like to gamble, then by all means give it a shot.

I got this as a gift from my mother-in-law and set it up, instructions that come with it are very vague and poorly written for what is there, I figured it out, let it cool for about a day, and this thing is noisy, runs hot as it left my granite counter with a black mark under it due to this, finally dropped a pressurized mini keg of new castle into it, door would not close unless I removed plastic top off of new castle keg, no instructions on how to tap the pressurized kegs in manual, just says it will and shows the correct adapter, okay no worries, did just that and the tap just leaks the beer, tried the 2nd pressurized adapter it includes, and leaks more beer, tried to call customer service throughout the day and you get directed to voicemail during all business hours, got on website for live chat, after 5 min someone says hello but I type questions and get pre responses back.... LIVE..... right...... gave model # and problem, says work it out with retailer and that product is too new with no replacement parts available yet, sorry are you not the manufacturing company... and WHAT company tells you to work a problem out with THEIR product towards the retailer who I purchased THEIR product that is a royal POS, BUY something else and save yourself from this company who I hope goes down quickly with this type of product and service, they should be ashamedBest Deals on Koldfront KBC51SS Deluxe Stainless Steel Kegerator and Draft Beer
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my husband. It leaked from the tap immediately. When he called the manufacturer, the customer service person was extremely rude. He was finally asked to send it back. Still no response from the manufacturer if they are able to fix the problem, if they will send a new one or if a refund will be provided. The product was purchased thru Amazon, but the manufacturer requested it be returned to them.Honest reviews on Koldfront KBC51SS Deluxe Stainless Steel Kegerator and Draft Beer
I am a homebrewer and after brewing for about a year I decided to invest in a mini keg system. I needed something small since i didn't have room for a full kegging system. I wanted a system that would force carbonate my homebrew. That is what this machine is supposed to do. IT DOES NOT!When the unit arrived i was like a kid at Christmas. It looked good and setup was easy. I already had a mini keg of my cherry stout ready. I installed the keg, turned on the co2 and waited. I gave it 24 hours and tried it. Nothing not a drip. I checked the connections and chalked it up to my eagerness and decided to give it more time. I gave it a week. NOTHING! I changed the co2. Nothing! I replaced my uncarbed keg with one that was carbonated with corn sugar. It was able to dispense with the tap on the keg but when i connected it. NOTHING! i gave it 24 hours. it did manage to dispense a half glass of foam.
I had really high hopes and I am very disappointed.
