Default Advice for under counter Kegerator

We have just finished our plans for our wet bar and I was wondering what Kegerator would be the best choice to place in our bar. It will be under the counter and the tower will need to be drilled into the granite. I am planning on having 2 soda kegs or one large keg. Thanks for your help.

I put in a Marvel 61HK in my house. For me, I needed a zero clearance built-in kegerator that would accept an appliance cabinet panel. It's right off my dining room, so it needed to look really nice. The draft tower that came with it was not very good, it looked really cheap, so I bought a stainless steel tower which I mounted to the granite.

The Marvel does not have a tower cooling fan, so I installed a project-box fan to cool the tower.

So far, I'm happy. The only downside was the price. I found it online for about $1400.

Make sure you get one with the CO2 tank INSIDE the unit for access purposes.

I've got a Summit. It's not in the bar yet, but it's being well utilized...

Watch the depths when you shop. Some of the others are quite deep (26-30"). Most cabinets are 24" deep plus a door (basically 25"). I liked the Summit because it would fit in a 24" wide x 25" deep space.

Depending upon your finishing desires, you can have either a black door, a stainless steel door, or a door that accepts other panels to match your other cabinets.

CO2 tank is inside on a ledge.
