I got this kegerator for root beer on tap. and I love it. Every thing works great, other people say it may not get cold enough but it is plenty cold for me. the thermostat jumps around temps ranging on it from 34 to 41 when its set at 36. but it is still plenty cold for me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

No issues after years of saving money on beer. 2 recommended mods are inserting a resistor at the temp sensor in order to drop the temperature down a bit more and inserting a cheap computer blower and attaching tubing to it then running the tubing into the tower, this keeps the tower temperature cool.
What's great about it: Has ran flawlessly for 3-4 years now.
What's not so great: Works better with two inexpensive mods
I would recommend this to a friend!

This kegerator does work well, but it could stand a tweak or two. In response to the reviewer below, a the beer does need to be kept at 10-12 PSI to no go flat. The problem is that the Danby won't keep the beer cold enough to not have out of control foam at 10-12 psi. There is a simple and cheap fix though. With a 40 cent 33K ohm resistor purchased from radio shack, I am now keeping my beer just above freezing. I am set at 10.5 PSI and get about a 1/2" of foam on my first pull and about a quarter inch after that. The resistor needs to be installed in parallel with the temp sensor that is located behind a plastic grill on the lower left of the inside of the fridge. Just search "Danby resistor mod" and you find plenty of results to guide you through the maybe 5 minute process.
Overall I'm very happy with this purchase, and have ended up building a permanent bar in my home around it.
What's great about it: Ice cold draft beer.
What's not so great: Too high of a minimum temp setting.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bottom line is that this is a good kegerator for the price. Stylish enough for the kitchen or bar, and functional. Comes with everything you need to start dispensing full-size, commercial kegs (minus the keg itself, and a Co2 charge). With very little modification, you can use it for dispensing home brew.
The temperature range (36 - 46 F) is a little limited (I would have liked a higher setting, setting much lower will freeze the beer), and I've read many reports about temperature control problems, and inaccuracy with the DKC645BLS. Despite the negative reviews I found, I decided on this purchase since I've found guides to mitigate these problems, and because this model is far less expensive than other brans.
Personally, I haven't been concerned enough to gauge the temperature of my beer against the temperature readout on the display. It comes out cool enough to satisfy me. The tower doesn't stay very cool, so the first beer is a little warmer (and more foamy) than it should be. Thats about the worst of my complaints.
I believe the description is misleading in that this does hold a full keg. Double check the manual to confirm that though if it's a major concern of yours.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worked perfect for about a year, nice and cold beer. Then the refriderator cooling unit starting having issues. When it would turn on, it sounded like a dying cow giving birth. It would be almost continuous if the temp is set lower than 40f.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Whats great about it:
You can barely here it running. Also make sure that the unit is leveled
The unit keeps the beer very cold, I can maintain the temp in the mid 30's
What's not great about it:
The directions to put it together are bad and hard to understand
My dual regulator was broke, I contacted Danby and they never got back to me
What's great about it: Runs quiet, good price
What's not so great: Hard to set up, directions are confusing
I would recommend this to a friend!

This kegerator is great for the price. The only fault I can find is that my temp was actually 39 degrees when it said that it was 38. Checked with a good liquid thermometer I borrowed from a friend. I can certainly deal with that. My neighbor bought this also, and he loves it too.
I don't know what the previous reviewer meant by misleading description, it says it holds 1/4 and 1/2 kegs of beer. It's common knowledge that a full 15.5 gallon keg is called a half barrel and a half 7.75 gallon keg is called a 1/4 barrel because a Barrel is legally defined as 31 gallons. So advertising that it holds 1/4 and 1/2 kegs is pretty clear to me that it holds full kegs and pony kegs.
What's great about it: price, looks
What's not so great: temp SLIGHTLY inaccurate
I would recommend this to a friend!

This kegerator works perfectly, keeps the beer cold and there is no out of control foam, like others report.... Just need to pour the beer properly. The thermosat on the front and the casters to roll the unit around is an added bonus !!! Very easy to set up and there is no reason to modify... I highly recommend purchasing one.
What's great about it: No more returning bottles and cans !!!
What's not so great: none
I would recommend this to a friend!
