Default Update

I received my Sanyo BC-1206 and fired it up. I set it to almost the "Coldest" setting and it got down to 20F overnight (no keg inside).

Knowing that the Sanyo worked OK, I returned the Vissani to Home Depot without incident and brought a new keg of Amber Bock home. I brought the Vissani back without the original packaging except the boxes for the little stuff. I just disassembled the thing, repacked the parts in the boxes the way they came and brought it back.

The nice lady at Home Depot asked me, "Why are you returning it?" My response was honest. "It's a very low quality kegerator. A standard AB keg wouldn't fit in it without modifying the door, then the door wouldn't seal properly. And the temp. never got below 46F. Beer needs to be 38F. This thing is pretty low quality. You'll be receiving a lot of returns on these." The lady just said, "Wow, for $450 you'd think it would work right." Yeah.

Avoid the Vissani.
