Best Kegerators

When HomeCraft advertises this draft beer dispenser as a full-size unit, it means it. The large 4.9 cubic feet capacity enables this kegerator draft beer dispenser to hold a 1/6, 1/4, and 1/2 barrels of beer. Needless to say, this kegerator draft beer dispenser & beer cooler is ideal for large parties, man caves, barbecues, recreational rooms, and bars. But it’s not just the capacity that makes this unit one of the best. Featuring a black stainless steel door, this kegerator draft beer dispenser looks amazing and elegant. Besides, this unit comes with lots of accessories, including a chrome guardrail, removable drip tray, a black tap tower, and a hardtop pouring station.

Pros

• The directions in the manual are very helpful
• Makes a great gift for beer lovers
• Easy to set up and looks beautiful
• Runs quietly and works as advertised

Con

• Would be better if the CO2 tank was 5 pounds

EdgeStar Craft Brew Kegerator is not an overstatement to say that this is the best cheap kegerator on the market and comes with a stainless steel beer tower, which, in turn, features a stainless steel faucet. And also comes with a CO2 tank, a gauge regulator, a stainless steel D coupler, a 5’ 3/16” ID beer line, and a 5/16” ID gas line. It is important to note that the kegerator is meant to fit one Cornelius keg or one-sixth barrel only. It is also worth noting that this portable kegerator is not compatible with casters. Other than that, this is a decent model that serves its purpose. It boasts a digital thermostat, internal circulation fan, and internal blue LED lighting.

Pros

• Fairly easy to set up
• The internal blue LED light is a plus
• The tap on the tower works fine
• Slim and narrow; therefore, does not take up too much space

Con

• The print on the instructions is pretty small

The price tag of this kegerator is obviously heftier than most models out there. But this is understandable because it is designed for commercial purposes. In other words, this three keg beer cooler refrigerator is worth the price. It comes with one dual faucet draft beer tower and one single faucet draft beer tower. It, however, does not come with a direct draw kit. The digital temperature display will let you view the internal temperature effortlessly without having to open the door, which tends to disrupt the cooling process. The temperature is adjustable from 31 deg F to 41 deg F. To adjust the temperature, simply use a manual dial that is conveniently located inside of this unit.

Pros

• Works well without any issues
• Ideal for restaurants, bars, pubs, and events
• The interior space is large enough to accommodate 3 full-size kegs
• Built-in drip trays catch drops, thereby, making maintenance a breeze

Con

• None so far

Once you have received this commercial kegerator keg beer dispenser, all you need to do is to brew some beer, wine, soda or kombucha. You can also take the kegs to the nearest brewpub to have them filled. The dispensing system of this keg beer dispenser features 3 sets of ball lock keg couplers, a glossy red 5-pound aluminum CO2 tank, a 3-faucet draft tower, a top-notch dual gauge regulator featuring an air distributor, and all the fittings necessary to tie everything together. Furthermore, this kegerator features 4-inch locking casters to improve mobility. Plus it has a shock-reducing rubber floor mat as well as a stainless steel top featuring a built-in drip tray.

Con

• None at the moment

You can set up this keg dispenser in a freestanding design or have it built into cabinetry for a seamless look, which is easy to maintain. What’s more, having this keg dispenser built into cabinetry ensures easy maintenance as well as helping to save floor space. The front-venting design is what makes it possible to have this dual faucet kegerator built into cabinetry. Besides, the keg dispenser features a stainless steel guard rail that prevents mugs and glasses from sliding off the top when the kegerator is set up in a freestanding application. Another feature is the stainless steel door that has a lock to keep content secure. There are also a curved handle and a towel bar for easy customization.

Pros

• The keg dispenser seems nice
• Easy to set up and to clean
• The locking stainless steel door is a nice addition
• The air-cooled tower prevents foam

Con

• The packaging leaves a lot to be desired

With intuitive controls and a digital LED display, it is hard to deny the fact that this is not the best beer kegerator. The digital temperature control makes it easy to set and then verify the internal temperature of this kegerator. It eliminates guesswork, and this is really great. Ideally, the temperature can be viewed in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The temperature range is wide enough to let you ferment or dispense. You can set the temperature as low as 32 deg if you want to dispense super cold beer or set it as high as 75 deg if you want to create a fermentation chamber for fermenting brew. The interior of this keg dispenser is spacious enough to let you store up to 3 Cornelius ball lock kegs.

It comes with a couple of wire shelves designed for refrigerator use, and its temperature ranges from 32 – 50 deg F (0 – 10 deg C). The door of this kegerator is made of stainless steel, meaning its durability cannot be questioned. You should note that this portable kegerator should be operated in a freestanding design only.

Pros
