I bought this kit along with the mini keg dispenser as a gift for my husband. We decided not to keep it, but they will not let me return this kit. They are saying it contains hazardous material! They are willing to ship the Co2 cartridges but you can't send them back. FYI everyone!

I'll keep this short. Regulator is impossibly leaky. I soap tested and rebuilt and tested again. Pissed through a couple 16g Co2 carts in about two hours only to find numerous leaks in the connections throughout the couplers. This is a lot of bull to go through just to have a countertop unit for non-pressurized kegs. Did I mention everything in this kit is cheap plastic and rather rough looking? Even the regulator seems "off", it is that cheap rigid "Chinese Metal" and seems brittle. Yeah, save your money or look elsewhere, there are bound to be better units out there than Edgestar, take it from me and save you r money don't waste it like I did.

First one had an impossibly leaky regulator and the second one had a slightly less leaky regulator. I fixed the regulator leakage by putting loctite on the seals after removing the cheap sealant edgestar placed on it. Both worked fine for the first two or three CO2 cartridges then the valves seized open upon opening the valve all the way.

We bought this for dispensing our home brew beer, and we're glad we bottled most of our last batch rather than using the 5l kegs! Maybe some people will be luckier than us, but our regulator was leaky from the beginning: we used the 3 cartridges in 3 days on only one keg. Edgestar sent us a new regulator very quickly, but it didn't match with our system... They proposed to fixe that right away, but the part is backordered. The beer in my keg is totally flat now... What a waste. If you do homebrewing, I really advise to consider a full size kegerator. Since we just starting to brew, we thought it will be safer to start with a smaller/cheaper one: what a mistake!

The leaks in the system here are problematic if you want to keep the system pressurized between pours. The leak could be anywhere in the line, since it is slow, it's hard to spot. I ended up repressurizing between pours but turning it off after each. The pressure lasts for an hour or so, enough for multiple glasses during that time to be filled. I made the mistake of leaving my tank on overnight. The next day I had to get my tank filled. There has to be a way to achieve a better seal, but I haven't found it yet. Overall, I would buy this again anyway since it allows me to use regular non-heineken kegs in the Beertender system.

Same issues as the issues above. I got it brand new, it started leaking immediately and profoundly. This is a terrible waste of money and a waste of a good beer. My beer is flat now and I have to try and drink it right away. This can't be good for my liver. Do yourself a favor if you need to pressurize your beer. Either buy pre-pressurized kegs or go with a alternative to this system.

From my experience, most of the leaks occur at the seal between the CO2 cartridge and the regulator. (The seal tends to get crushed after a few uses.)
You can fix this problem and save money at the same time. Discard the CO2 cartridge adapter and use a 9 oz JT paintball tank. You will also need a CGA320 Adapter to attach the CO2 tank to the regulator.
Cost of the tank and adapter will be around $40. One 9 oz tank will empty about 15, 5 Liter kegs. I get my 9oz tank refilled at the local Hobby Shop for about $4. Best price I found for 16g cartridges is about $1.35 if you buy in bulk. At that price it would cost about $20 to empty 15 kegs.So by the time you go through 30 kegs you've recapped the cost of the conversion kit. Be sure to get some replacement O-rings for the tank. They're cheap insurance that you won' have any leaks when you refill the tank.
CAUTION: The JT 9 oz CO2 tank is the only one I have found that will fit inside the Edge Star kegerator. Other brand 9 oz tanks are too tall.

You can find all of these items on Amazon and other sites.

Prosit!

I've had this for over one year now and have the kinks worked out, but it took a while. As stated by others, it can be leaky and it takes time and patience to find and correct all the leaks. I've corrected them all, and now the system with the Edgestar mini-kegerator works flawlessly. I homebrew and use the mini-kegs for every batch. The key is to locate and check every connection, even connections that aren't readily apparent. There were several leaks with snap-in connectors and poorly seated tubing on plastic hose barbs with plastic nuts which I found by squirting soapy liquid on connectors, and these were corrected after losing a lot of CO2. The company needs to do a better job of fixing these before delivery, but clearly they don't. In the end, and just before I was going to pack everything back up and return this thing, I found the one leak that caused me most of the problem. It was leaking slightly where the dip tube (inserted through the bung into the keg) screws into the tap head. They don't tell you about that connection, and it isn't easily found by squirting soapy liquid because it's upside down, between the keg bung and the tap head, and is located under the bar with the latch that holds the dip tube firmly in the mini-keg. I found it by submerging the entire pressurized conversion system mounted on a keg (taken out of the kegerator) in my sink filled with water. The dip tube screws clockwise into the tap head, and mine was slightly loose. When I tightened it, the leaking stopped. I now make a point to check this connection every time I tap a new keg. I set the pressure at 11-13 PSI and the system works like a champ, and I get weeks of use from one CO2 cartridge, even when changing out empty kegs.Read more ›
