Product Description
SANYO BC1206 BLACK BEER COOLER 6.5CF

Amazon.com Review
Ideal for home brewers or just regular ol' beer drinkers, this cooler keeps cold brews on tap and ready to pour. With a capacity of 6.5 cubic feet, the cooler holds up to a half-barrel keg and comes with a complete CO2 tap system to get things flowing. The tap system includes a Sankey keg tapper, a type that fits all North American beer kegs; a pressure gauge; a pressure regulator; and an arm, for pulling drafts, that rises out of the cooler's top. A cleaning kit and beer FAQ guide are thrown in for good measure. The cooler's sleek black exterior and compact size (37 inches tall, 23-5/8 inches wide, and 25 inches deep) make it inconspicuous in the corner of a rec room, workroom, or kitchen. However, four casters on this kegerator's bottom let hosts move the unit to where the party is. --Cristina Vaamonde

5 out of 5 stars Best kegerator at this price point   September 20, 2008
This kegerator comes with everything necessary to get started. You get the fridge, tap, a NA sankey coupler and a line cleaning kit.
The fridge gets as cold as you want and regulates the temperature well. I have been serving quality german beer out of this thing (Warsteiner) and everyone loves it. You cannot get more pimp for this little money, when I have people over they are blown away. OK I am a guy and the people that come by are some of the guys but you know! That being said this is not industrial grade bar hardware but then again you are not paying those prices. This easily holds 1/2 barrel kegs (AKA full kegs because they are the what bars use etc) and if you get different couplers, you can get exotic beers and run them. The instructions say that if you do not want the NA sankey adaptor (The one for nearly every beer in the US) you can send it in and they will give you the one of your choice. Nice!
Stuff that you should get as accessories:
Now the secret to non foamy beer is proper temperature and pressure and as this unit comes you get neither of these measured. I recommend getting a low pressure gauge for the regulator (it comes only with the high pressure that measures your co2 tank and the low pressure one is key to knowing what pressure the keg is at.) and a thermometer inside. If you go to kegworks they sell all of this plus a good grate to catch spillover.

Your first beer of the day is going to have a bit of foam and this is necessary and expected. Even at bars they run the lines first in the day. Unless you have an expensive glycol line cooler you will never get no foam on first pour. Also the tap warms up after non use so that foams it a bit too. If you just put the first glass down for a min, it settles. At first I used to dump the foam but surprisingly foam turns into a lot of beer if you let it settle.

I bought this unit for 599 which is good and this is far superior to the danby unit. Everyone loves it and it is one of the most fun things I ever bought!



5 out of 5 stars Great Unit   September 16, 2008
Great unit!! Keeps my beer COLD w/o any problem. If the door does not fit properly, you will run into freeze-up problems as well as not able to get temperature low. My door seals perfect - no problem maintaining 36 degrees with thermostat set just past center (still can get colder, if needed!!). Also very easy to clean the beer lines. I'd recommend the two-stage regulator as well as any of the stainless drip trays: please toss out the plastic tray that comes with the unit!!

Room for 2 small kegs of homebrew - or one keg of "other" beer (Newcastle Brown Ale currently on tap.)


5 out of 5 stars Yea Beer   August 15, 2008
I have had this fridge for 4 years now and love it. Fit 1/2 kegs fine with the bottle in it. I recently started homebrewing and I was able to replace the 2.5 inch tower with a 3.5 tower with 3 facuts and stainless draw lines. I have to remove the top and cut the hole in to the fridge bigger, was fairly easy. You can fit 3 5 gallons kegs with the co2 bottle into the fridge, many you cannot. I had to only replace the lines once(i was to lazy to clean them). Nothing better for the price that I got it at 4 years ago.


3 out of 5 stars fair but not right out the box   March 24, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This beer kegorator does work well but not right out of the box. so if you do not have time to tweek it I am not sure which way to go. there were dents all over the outside, the beer line was not long enough to clear the foam. because of the non cooled tower you must be ready to pour the first ounce into a spare glass then pour the real beer.


1 out of 5 stars very dissapointed!   January 23, 2008
 2 out of 4 found this review helpful

I ordered this for my husband's Christmas gift. It arrived on Christmas Eve absolutely destroyed! We think it fell of a forklift. I sent it back for a replacement, only to get that one severely damaged on the top. The packaging is not nearly enough to protect such a large shipment. Finally got a refund and bought one locally after negotiating an internet price.
