Love this item!
I bought this item a month ago and it has worked fantastic. Already tapped my fourth keg. Wheels mean that it's easily moved. This is comparable to the Sanyo version (made at the same plant) just labeled with a Summit Tag. Sanyo products are also dependable.
I question the numbers in the description. The C02 should be "12" to "14" instead of "10". The temperature should be 36 - 38 degrees. Sam Adams recommends 38 degrees which is colder than anything that you can find in a bar. Since the gauge isn't percise, flirting with 32 degrees sounds appealing but you could run into problems with ice chips, frozen keg or wild keg (too foamy).
If possible, upgrade the CO2 gauge. The one provided is a single gauge, which shows the pressure on the keg. A double gauge would also provide you with whats left in the CO2 tank. The single guage works fine if you are on a budget. I'll upgrade later.

Great product
Have owned this product since 2002. Works great and never had any problems with it. Only drawback does not come with a built in drain (most don't). I purchased one separately and cut a hole and added one which drains into a plastic milk gallon jug which is easy to empty and/or replace. I can easily roll it to where the party is via the casters. I have used it outside in the summer out on my deck during BBQ's and my guests love it. Be aware that this keg dispenser (as with most that you will find) comes with an American sankey (fits 95% of beer produced in the US) which is not compatible with most European beers. So you will have to purchase a separate sankey at approx. $35.00.
Summit kegerator
All in all very pleased with the summit keg dispenser. It came delivered to my house in excellent condition and the driver helped unpack it and inspect for any damage, none was found. Unit was easy to put together, had to put the wheels on and assemble the spout. I've had it for a month or so and it works great! A little more than I wanted to pay but it seems to be worth it.You have to be careful to have the correct pressure (co2) or it can be over carbonated but with some minor adjusting you can find the sweet spot. So far so good!
