Why the ZCK-163B?
Within the cabinet, the keg refrigerator's large 5.8 cu.ft. interior is spacious enough to accommodate one full size, pony, or quarter slim keg, two 5 gallon commercial kegs, three ball lock kegs, or two pin lock kegs.
Durability & Functionality
To ensure long-lasting durability, a steel interior floor mat helps distribute the weight evenly and allows your kegs to slide smoothly in and out when loading and unloading. The versatile unit also comes with three wire shelves that give you the option to use it as a regular all-refrigerator when you're not storing or dispensing kegs, providing more refrigerated storage space whenever you need.
How is the Performance?
Easy to use digital controls and a clear LED display give you precise control over your keg cooler's internal temperature. The ZCK-163B boasts one of the largest temperature ranges of any keg cooler on the market today, giving you the freedom to dispense kegs, ferment beer, and store other food and beverages between 32 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fan Forced Cooling
Kegco utilizes fan-forced cooling to maintain the ideal refrigerated storage environment, and cold air is directed into the beer tower to keep every drop ice cold from the keg to your glass. The kegerator also features automatic defrost for added convenience.

ZCK-163BI purchased this model through Home Depot. Setup was simple and straight forward. I did not install the supplied wheels. I rarely moved the unit this replaced so I didn't feel the need. Both the internal and external CO2 bottle supports are robust and beyond easy to install. Very well designed. The kit comes with everything needed as well as multiple extra gaskets for the connection points. I chose to use worm gear clamps instead of the supplied plastic pinch clamps on the lines. The unit cooled to temperature quickly. It's not silent but I'd say it is quiet. I had the temp set to 36 and it displayed 32 during its first cooling cycle. Since then, the temp appears to be holding steady @ 36 with the unit cycling on and off occasionally.
My only callouts: The front feet can be adjusted for leveling. The rear rollers are not adjustable. The instructions don't call out leveling. The kit came with two different length / diameter screws to mount the tower. The tower mount plate is designed to accept countersunk screws. The first option in the instructions is to use the supplied pan head screws which worked perfectly. I'll be replacing them with countersunk stainless machine screws at some point. The supplied instructions did not show or list installation of the supplied tower cooling duct. It's simple enough to figure it out, but if this was someone's first kegerator they may be clueless. The screws required to mount the guards to the top of the unit were not included. I suspect this was an oversight, but 1/2" #6 panhead stainless sheet metal screws worked perfectly for $2.
