Could anybody tell me a good kegerator that will be able to fit a CoorsLight Half Keg (Most likley pot-belly), 5lb CO2 canister, with a dual pressure valve. I've been reading alot of reviews and i find contradicting reports for all Kegerators. I am looking to spend in the area of $500. anybody have one that drinks Coors light and doesn't get all foam and keeps it cold?

I'm pretty sure that the Vissani kegerators will NOT house a Coors Light keg, but I am unsure of all the other kegerators out there in the market. I have a Danby (I run Coors Light 24/7 in it), I paid $425 for it at Sams Club, did $20 worth of mods to it and I pour 36 degree beer with inch of head on top...

for 500, build your own! I can fit a full sized keg, or 2 20L with a 5lb co2 no problem. Including shipping to Canada, i paid less than 350 for a 2 tap conversion kit that included the 5lb co2 tank. now you've got another 150 to play with when it comes to getting a used fridge. I got a fridge free, someone just getting rid of an old one, 18 cubic foot fridge, needed a new door gasket, 75 bucks.

all in all, including a new paint job and some decals on the fridge, 450 and it's EXACTLY what I wanted........didn't have to settle.

Hi , i just picked up a Danby!
I mostly drink Coors Light! I bought an empty keg shell of Coorls Light ( 1/2 keg Pot belly) $30 deposit- to make sure it would fit in the kegerator!
it Squeezed right in ! 1/2 keg CL!
i recommend getting the empty shell and test it in what ever kegerator you choose, before you buy it, they shouldnt have a problem with that.
I will be doing the mods soon !

Carpe Diem

Some of us poor bastards dont have room for that

and a chest freezer can be a pain to get half kegs into. Those where the only reasons I went with a kegerator.

If I had the room I would do a fridge conversion.

fair enough! i've never seen a keg fridge anywhere in ontario, so really, building was my only option!!

best of luck

I have a Kennmore from Sears(really a Haier) that meets your criteria.
