Most Favorable Review

Good value, easy set up, and reliable

Haier HBF05EBSS 6.4 cu. ft. Stainless Steel BrewMaster Kegerator Silver
Haier HBF05EBSS 6.4 cu. ft. Stainless Steel BrewMaster Kegerator Silver

Pros: Comes with everything you need to dispense US Sankey kegs. Holds a constant temperature. Countertop is easily cleaned. Stainless front doesn't pick up fingerprints. Holds 3 ball lock or 2 pin lock Cornelius kegs if you're a homebrewer. Wheels roll around on hard surfaces easily. Very quiet operation.

Cons: Faucet sticks if not used every other day or so. Two piece drip tray will seal together if not cleaned right after a spill. No way to tell how old the CO2 bottle is until you buy it, maybe a month, maybe 2 years old. Shelves didn't fit but not used if you buy it for kegs. Exposed coils on the back of the unit.

Overall Review: I've put a dual regulator on my co2 tank and 3 corny kegs, 2 beer one for pop in there. Also drilled holes in the top tower for more faucets. Steel CO2 bottle will rust on the bottom so paint it before you fill it the first time. It has a removable metal base so don't forget to clean under it after beer spills from the coupler. I find it hard to maintain temps above 44F where I like my ales served at. I thought about using a Sanyo fridge and building my own 2 keg system, but this is a much better value. Save time and have it done right the first time by buying this unit. I've had mine for 3 years and it's working great after moving it to 3 different apartments.
