Just wondering because I did buy one about 8months ago. It worked great at first but slowly deteriorated. First the plastic in the spout failed. Then it finally got to the point where it would not hold CO2, the screws holding on the co2 cartriage stripped. Luckily the dealer gave me a new unit but I can't wonder if I'm the only one to have these problems.

Was by a brew shop in the KC area this weekend and looked at that(or similar) set up--shop owner din't recomend them for that very reason-- you could get into a complete 5gal corny set-up for about $175--keg-CO2 tank--reg--hoses everything--nice set-up

Complete systems are $159 here
Thanks to all for your advice. Will likely be buying 5 Gal unit here in the Great White North sometime soon!

I used mine for a few batches and found it pretty convenient to use, but a pain to clean. I have not yet had any of the problems you mentioned, but I have replaced the bottles a few times as they got a bit beaten up. Since getting a corny keg system, I use my tap a draft now mostly for soda and to bring to parties and tailgating. Fill it up from the keg and away you go.... Makes it easier to clean too b/c I force carb in the keg.
