Which cleaning kit do you recommend?

[jhon]

I need to purchase a cleaning kit here at Micro Matics. Which of the cleaning kits do you users recommend? Should I just get the 1 quart hand pump or is worth getting the pressurized can? Which is easiest or are they both easy?

Thanks, once again.

They're both pretty easy to use, but I recommend the 1 quart hand pump because it's cheaper.

I have one with a hand-pump, that I bought from another site, and I paid around $48.00 for it. It's real easy to use.

I used to borrow one of those pressurized cans from a buddy of mine. It was ok, but it doesn't seem like it's worth the extra expense to me, plus I'd rather use the CO2 to dispense beer, not cleaning solution.

I prefer the pressurized kit. I used to use a cheap hand pump that came with my kegerator and it was just kind of messy. I would get drips where it connects to the shank, and it would get messy putting the beer line in a bucket, etc.

The pressurized kit taps just like a keg would. Stick a bucket under the faucet and you're good to go.

I guess it just comes down to personal preference.

I own the hand pump cleaning system that I got from MicroMatic. It was on sale for $45 or something like that. It's very easy to use.

I've used the hand pump version as well and I think its very messy. If your going to clean your lines after each keg use then I would spend the extra money. In fact I'm going to upgrade soon.

If you don't spill, it's not messy. I don't find it difficult to clean my lines and not spill anything.

I used the hand pump for the first time this week and it was pretty easy. Instead of fiddling around with cleaning at the kegerator I just removed the faucet entirely and cleaned it all in the kitchen sink instead of using a bucket.

Same here.
