Who knows stuff about Kegerators?
 

So the guys in the wedding party and I are buying my brother a kegerator as a wedding gift. Here is a site. I'm thinking this dual faucet is a good thing. Wondering if anyone has any advice as to which to get or on kegerators in general.

kegerators are for single dudes

My roomates and I have one- on the whole a decent investment. Beverage factory is ok, but IMO better for accessories than the actual kegerator (due to high shipping costs). Your local Best Buy and even Costco will often have them, at substantially cheaper rates, providing you provide your own transportation.

Sams Club has a solid one for about $500. If you have any specific questions, ask me and I should be able to answer them.

Where would your brother be placing the kegerator???

Summit,Sanyo,Haier are all pretty good mid end kegs; but if it is going outdoors stay away from Haier.

There is something in the insulation in their doors that melts and leaves a nasty coating bubbling on the surface of the stainless and black doors.

The $500 keg from sams is more likely than not a Danby,which also pretty much sucks [censored].

If I had my choice I would probably go with the Sanyo vs. the Summit, simply because there Cust serv was pretty decent when I dealt with them, and I had fewer problems with them then anything else.

I did quite a bit of business with Beverage factory and they are a good company, but shipping this item could get fairly expensive if you are not in the SoCal area.(They are based in San Diego FWIW)

Thanks, worm!

I don't really see a way around the shipping issue. I'm in LV, and my brother is living in rural Virginia. I'll ask him whether he's thinking indoor or outdoor.

False.

Single guys go to bars to drink and pick up girls.

Married men drink alone, no need to waste extra money on things like covers, paying for each beer and women trying to get you to buy them drinks.

These look so nice. My Kegerator is a 1950s GE with a hole drilled through the door that I got for free from my buddy's brother who decided to get rid of it when his kids became teenagers.

One of these is for married men who drink alone, one of these is for frat guys:

You make it sound so depressing! If I wanted to gain 20 lbs, cement my status as a full blown alcoholic, and have my wife hate me, I would get one in an instant!

How long does the beer last in these things? Outside of football season, I can't see drinking more than 10 or so a day.
