Recently purchased this unit after doing some serious homework on the competition. This unit has a digital thermostat, an internal fan and a completely stainless tower / faucet from the factory which is unheard of at this price range!
I wanted a small compact unit and could not be happier with my decision. The added bonus is that this kegerator will accept a 5 gallon carboy if you set it up on the shelf and support the other side hanging off. I could not find a solid answer anywhere online. Posted an image to prove it, i was thrilled. You will need to run a blow off tube because an airlock will not fit above. I am also able to fit a standard 5 gal corny keg with 5lb gas bottle without an issue. I upgraded to an Intertap SS flow control faucet and shank right from the start, however the standard setup worked perfectly when i initially tested it. I also went a 10ft beer line, did not try the included 5 footer. The temperature controller can get stuck as mentioned in many reviews, however you can cycle the F/C button to get the correct current temp which is easy. I have found that setting and forgetting has worked out perfectly for me. The insulation in the tower is not the greatest as it restricts airflow, however that is an easy fix with a bit of tinkering. The regulator has been holding pressure correctly for me so far. I may try to figure out a way to keep the tower colder to prevent foam on the first pour. Overall, very pleased with the purchase.
