Works fine

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!
