Kegco 24" Wide Triple Tap Black Stainless Steel Digital Kegerator

This unit is incredible. I've had it for a year and a half, no problems except one of the faucet attachments is a little loose. Tried a few times to go down into the top of faucet stem to tighten it, but haven't been able to get down there. It really doesn't pose a problem, it just bugs me. I clean the lines after each keg. It will fit one commercial 1/6 barrel and 2 homebrew kegs. Easy to put together. Go on, treat yourself.

Continued from above. Unit is very quiet and attractive. Arrived quickly, complete and in perfect condition. The regulator was back ordered but arrived in a few days. I wasn't quite ready for it anyway.

It is so neat looking and it really wasn't that harad to put together.

This kegerator seems quite nice and was exactly as described. The interior quite large so it can fit any type of keg and up to 3 sixtels or home brew kegs at once. I upgraded a number of the parts including the tower and faucets to perlick stainless steel options and they look great although I haven't had an opportunity to try them yet as I just had this item delivered last week and installed it over the weekend. I left several inches around it for ventilation but installed it under a counter and it fits in very well with only around 2 inches between the top of the unit and the bottom of the counter top. I look forward to getting a keg in there in the next week or two to really try it out.

The one thing that I don't like about the kegerator is the lack of space to run multiple gas lines into the unit if you want to hook up an external tank. It has a spot for one line but since this unit can support up to 3 products at once it should have additional options for running the gas. I don't want to waste space inside the unit and have a nice location in a cabinet beside the kegerator to keep and monitor my gas tanks (I'll be keeping one extra on hand to ensure I always have gas, just like I do with propane for my gas grill) and it requires running one of the lines through the top of the unit with the beer lines. It looks like this should not prove to be an issue but it would have been nice to have an additional or at least a larger hole to run multiple gas lines through.

I love this kegerator...it's the first that I've owned personally, but I've operated a friend's for several years now :-). He has a commercial grade unit that operated very nicely, but this does every bit of the job a much more expensive unit would do.

First, I loved my experience dealing with Beverage Factory. I ordered the unit, it shipped out, was delivered well ahead of the original estimated delivery date from the shipping company. I had inside of a week from San Diego to Cleveland, OH. Everything was packaged neatly, all of the pieces were easy to find, and everything was securely wrapped in a way that would minimize the possibility of damage in transit. Mine showed up in perfect condition.

Assembly was a breeze. I had the unit assembled and hooked up in about an hour. NOTE: If you order one of these units, I highly recommend downloading the instructions and assembly manual that Beverage Factory makes available on the site ahead of your unit arriving. By reviewing the steps for assembly and the proper procedure for attaching the couplers to the kegs (to minimize pressure creep) I was ready to go when the unit arrived with no surprises and no reading/re-re-reading when it was time to drink! I just needed CO2 and beer.

As for the unit itself, it got right to temperature with no problems at all, and the temperature holds with little to no fluctuations. I'm so glad that I went with the digital unit because, between the "deep chill" function and the ability to easily adjust the temperature from the front of the unit, keeping beer cold and pouring smoothly is a breeze. Another important thing that I noticed on this unit is that the tower stays relatively cold, and comes nicely insulated with what appears to be plumber's insulation around the faucets and lines, and then a styrofoam cap at the top, just under the main cap. I bought several upgrades, including dual faucets, stainless tower, and Perlick taps. (The Perlick is a definite MUST on the upgrade list if you want complete and total shut off with no drips). When I first hooked hooked up my two kegs (Sam Adams--a rather finicky beer with regard to foam--beer sites are full of people who can't get Sam right, and Stone IPA) I adjusted the pressure to 8 psi, and after and initial cooling period and burping of the lines, this unit runs great ALMOST from the very first flick of the tap. I say "almost" because I still needed to run the tap for about a second to purge the warmer beer (I just chug it), but then the beer that comes out is smooth, foam-free, but producing just the right amount of head. I've since added a tower cooler from a third party manufacturer, and that has made a difference. I think with some less finicky beers in there and a tweak to the pressure, I might well get it going from the very beginning. I did NOT upgrade to the Perlick low-profile couplers, and I have plenty of room at the top for everything. In fact, I currently have 2 sixth-barrel kegs, a 5 lb. CO2 canister, a tower cool and a 6-pack of bottled beer in there (the 6 pack is there because it's super cold and just because it's a beer I love but cannot find in a keg).

The CO2 regulator that comes with the unit is actually very nice. It has quick shut off valves that come in handy on a number of levels. But more importantly, the valve holds pressure with minimal "creeping up" of the pressure, providing that the kegs are properly introduced to the system. It responds immediately upon increasing the pressure, however a decrease in pressure is a much slower process and seems to take longer than I want to respond--I normally don't like to keep the door open that long, so I adjust it to where I think it needs to be and check a couple of hours later. Usually I get it to where I want it, but my friend who runs the higher end kegerator uses a much older regulator that responds both ways, immediately.

All in all, this is a great unit and I high recommend it. I've had it running for about 2 and a half weeks now and everything is going great and the unit is performing superbly.
