The unit arrived timely on a pallet. Special delivery time frame with signature required. Driver took back pallet which was nice.
Straightforward to assemble. If you plan to do any modifications like adding internal tower insulation or tower cooling fan now would be best time.
Minor disappointments:
1) Mine arrived with a compression dent, (more of buckled appearance) on the side of the left side of cabinet. Based on my installation it's hard to see and not worth shipping it back.
2) The two included Kegco taps (493K-CFBL) are throwaway ... after 48 hours they stick solid like glued in place due to the sugars in the beers drying ... an Oktoberfest and Summer saison. Why have such a nice kegerator and include these taps other than shave a few dollars off price. My old Danby kegerator from Costco lasted many years and the generic plated taps work fine. Upon investigation the clearances on these included Kegco taps are too wide ... this allows more beer to get stuck in the mechanism when tap is in off position. The old no name tap has tighter clearances and worked fine testing on this kegerator. The Perlick 630SS replacements (out of pocket) worked perfect.
The Good:
1) Customer service (phone) was very responsive to my questions on contents in shipment. Email was a waste of time ... just call and speak to a person live.
2) Temperature control. I installed a calibrated thin wire probe inside unit. Unit set to 34F in a 70F/45%RH room, air temperature in dead center cycled pretty consistently between 32F and 36F and water/beer in bottle was 34F. That was unexpected, and a pleasant surprise. One note: weakest insulation is in front door panel ... it runs 5F cooler than room temperature, while other 3 sides, (when compressor is not running), shows room temperature.
3) Nice empty, (red), 5# Kegco CO2 canister ... my local distributor filled for $15. Unlike "new" no name CO2 canisters which they won't fill without testing first.
4) Interior size ... nice to have the extra room for up to 3 home brew kegs or one 1/2 barrel commercial keg.
Despite minor disappointments, this Kegco K309SS-2 kegerator appears to be good quality kegerator that will hopefully last many years.
