Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Ideal for home brewers or just regular ol' beer drinkers, this cooler keeps cold brews on tap and ready to pour. With a capacity of 6.5 cubic feet, the cooler holds up to a half-barrel keg and comes with a complete CO2 tap system to get things flowing. The tap system includes a Sankey keg tapper, a type that fits all North American beer kegs; a pressure gauge; a pressure regulator; and an arm, for pulling drafts, that rises out of the cooler's top. A cleaning kit and beer FAQ guide are thrown in for good measure. The cooler's sleek black exterior and compact size (37 inches tall, 23-5/8 inches wide, and 25 inches deep) make it inconspicuous in the corner of a rec room, workroom, or kitchen. However, four casters on this kegerator's bottom let hosts move the unit to where the party is. --Cristina Vaamonde

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.
