Kegerator advice, any builders out there?

The style of refrigerator you are looking for is a 'low boy.' These are very easy to find in late spring when the colleges are letting out. Check craigslist for ones near you.

I second Phil with Craigslist. Just type "keg" into the search for your area. I was going your route, going to build one but thanks to Craigslist I found a used Beverage Air commercial kegerator that can hold 4 1/2 kegs and about 10 cornies! It is professionally built, all stainless steel and has 3 taps - I have no idea how I talked SWMBO into letting it in the house!

Thanks Phil.

My question was more about the brand and model of a good refrigerator that others have used for a compact one keg system. I don't have much space and want this as small as possible, I am also not too worried about buying used, although I would love to save money.

What Brands and models have people used that work best for a full keg with the tower mount?

Thanks again,

Jeff

I would love to have room for something that big. Although I think my wife would send me to AA if did that... lol

I've had pretty good luck with:

I've had mine about 7 years. I had to replace the thermostat on it once, which was relatively cheap and easy to do. Though the above is a complete system and may take the fun out of building your own.

Thanks Howard, I really want to build one though.

I love the fact that they put the shelf in the top of the refrigerator instead of the bottom. I wonder if you could take a compact and flip the insides so it would run upside down? That would solve my problem of finding a compact. Anyone know if that might be possible?

This looks promising

I've had really bad experiences with Haier refrigeration products. Bought a wine cooler and it died within a few months. Haier replaced it and that died a few months after that.

A year later relatives bought me another Haier wine refrig for my birthday. I figured I'd give it another try. One month later, the top zone of the 2 zone refrig stopped working.

I gave up.
