The best idea ever!

Downstairs in our house we had an old refrigerator that we used for beer (and other things). Especially in the summer we used up so many bottles. Hauling from storage to landfill became a chore. I ordered this, we got a CO2 bottle from a liquor store and my very handy guy installed it. Now I'm the best girl in the world! Keep lines clean and keep an extra keg chilled in summer.

Pros
  • Annual Trial
Cons
  • Neutral

Wish it came with seals

Disclaimer about this review: I'm new to this; my first time. Turned the fridge into a kegerator. It's easy to install, although badly seated in the barrel and leaking. I had to repot it several times before I could install it well enough that it didn't leak. If there were seals, there would be no problems. Had it installed for a few weeks now, no problems. Definitely recommended, although spacers would also be an advantage here.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Minor issues

BEWARE! part missing.

The kit itself is of excellent quality and even comes with a drip tray which is important. Trust me. :) The problem is that it arrived with a MISSING part of the shaft. the part that actually goes through the fridge door. IMPORTANT PART view. As a kegerator kit, it's worth nothing without it. I am working with Revain to see how I can resolve the situation and will update my review accordingly. On FIRST VIEW of the rest of the set - high quality. It's just completely unusable.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Not sure

Incomplete based on image

The content image shown seems a bit misleading. Kit does not include transparent hose with hex connector or metal clips. I returned the original package due to this incompleteness but the replacement was an exact replacement so don't expect a complete package. I went ahead and ordered a clear tube which is about $10 more so it's not that big of a deal and the price here beats anything you can find anywhere else but be careful. [UPDATE] After contacting support they started an investigation and…

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Unusable features

Two thumbs up!

Everything worked exactly as advertised, I installed it within half an hour and the only complaint has nothing to do with the product. When a cold beer comes out of the fridge and hits the tap at room temperature for the first time, there is a lot of foam. After the first watering, the next few will be fine. Then, after enjoying your delicious Budweiser, the tap temperature returned to room temperature and you had your original frothy first glass. And the simple solution is to turn on the…

Pros
  • CHROME BEER TANK WITH BRASS LEVER: Featuring a forged brass body and polished chrome finish, this NSF-approved Kegco CFBL beer tap adds a stylish finishing touch to your kegerator at a price you'll love. The brass shaft and lever assembly includes a non-stick spherical washer for smooth operation, and the lever has standard threads compatible with most brands of faucet handles.
Cons
  • High price

AMAZING PRODUCT - REFRIGERATORS, FREEZERS & ICE MAKER

First, my husband has long wanted to turn our spare fridge into a kegerator. I finally broke down and got him this set as a Father's Day gift. I was a bit disappointed that I paid for express delivery and it took a week for delivery. Upon arrival the fuel gauge had cracked. So I called and a new sensor was sent in the mail and arrived 2 days later. Installing the kit in our prepared fridge was easy as my husband has the tools. All it took was a drill with a 1" shank hole saw and all went well…

Pros
  • LEVER HANDLE KEG CONNECTOR: This NSF approved Kegco KT85D-L "D" system keg connector has a heavy duty forged nickel plated brass body with a stainless steel probe and is suitable for use with all American style D-System Sankey barrels. The lever handle design is easy to use - just pull the handle and then lower it to connect the keg. The 55psi relief valve makes this coupler even more comfortable to use by allowing the pressurized gas to escape before it gets into your keg.
Cons
  • Some bugs

Husband loves it

I bought this for our garage fridge and surprised my husband for his birthday. He was excited. Except for the clamps, all components are of high quality. We had a small gas leak because the plastic hose clamps were inadequate and difficult to tighten. That's easily fixed with a couple of metal hose clamps from the hardware store, but that's the only reason I'm deducting a star. Upgrade the clips to match the quality of the rest of the kit and it becomes a 5 star product! Keep in mind that most…

  • DUAL GAUGE REGULATOR: Easily measure PSI and CO2 and adjust CO2 outlet pressure with this Kegco 542 Pro Series Dual Gauge Regulator with premium features! The top gauge shows outlet pressure and the side gauge shows what's left in your CO2 tank, so you don't run out of gas during your party. The chrome plated brass body has a large pressure adjustment knob for easy operation and a manual pressure relief valve.
