The Keg is Good, but The Spout...ehhh

I bought this costume for a friend using my Prime Membership. The keg part fits really good and is collapsible which is nice. The spout to hold the "liquid" is a little unstable and not the best quality. From what I've read from other users, the reservoir will leak and it looks like the one I bought will too, but hey, what do you expect? If you're looking for a costume to stand out in, then by all means get it--the attention will be yours haha

The Dispenser is lovely.  The Spigot is defective.  It is cheap plastic and will not open all the way. This problem is more than a little bit irritating, since that is the whole purpose.  Ugh................

Maybe I don't know how to work the little rubber button on the top next to the spout. I've tried to mess with it but the "sport spout" doesn't allow more than a trickle when trying to drink out of it and seems that it leaks. The bottle itself is great, no complaints.

I bought this directly from the HomeBrewStuff web site. Overall I like it. It looks nice, and is sturdy for the most part. The pics I posted on social media have my friends all jazzed.

The keg is awesome! The Co2 is the weak link.

There was a metal sliver on the thread of the tap I found when I first washed and cleaned this. So be careful.

The instructions were written for someone familiar with keg terminology, so I had to search the internet for what a "ball lock" and "charger" were in newbie terms. The instructions said if I didn't attach chargers and ball locks and gizmos in the correct order, I could blow things up. I just wanted a beer from my local brew house to last longer and impress my friends when I get them a brew. I didn't want to worry about recreating a Boston Marathon explosion because I didn't understand 133t keg speak.

I am in the process of foaming my second gallon of good beer. More Googleing informed me that beer need a very exact pressure of 10-12 psi to dispense properly, or it will over pressure and foam like you would never believe. Maybe a 133t keg operator can get the right pressure from this co2 unit, but I am looking to see if I can Frankenstein a pressure regulator or gauge on this.

The Co2 unit is not all that. I popped one canister in there and had a foamy beer, cleaned up beer that got all over, put the whole thing in the fridge, and grabbed a long neck to relax for the night. The next morning after spending time on Google, I tried again, only to find all the Co2 leaked out and there was no pressure. I put in a new canister, and tried again. This time I discounted the entire Co2 assembly from the keg. The keg kept pressure wonderfully for several days of foamy beer. The Co2 unit completely drained again over night. After the third Co2 ($) canister the unit is showing stress fractures form trying to tighten this to make a good seal.

The keg is awesome. I am currently on Amazon dumping some $$ into a better Co2 setup. Hopefully then it will work for a keg newbie.

Some of the edges are sharp from either the dip or soldering workmanship.
I do like the handle on the top & I have to remind myself not to fill it so full. In addition, I would like to have had the spout out a little further.

This just barely holds two 1/6 barrels with the regulator and CO2 bottle inside. (note that the regulator MUST be inside if you use two hoses because only one hose fits through from the back) It really seems worth the extra cost to get the slightly-larger cabinets (Kegco 209 or similar).

Also, tall 1/6 barrel kegs (look like Cornies, but have Sankey coupling) will fit, but only with a low-profile coupler. So be sure you know the barrel size, or you will have to drop extra $ for the low profile (might be worth initial upgrade for one of the couplers, if you order on the Bev Factory site and customize).

You will need to add a computer fan to circulate air to keep the temperature steady and low (lots of instructions for this can be found on home brew blogs, and it saves cost of buying forced air fridge models). It does occasionally make cracking noises when cooling, but it's pretty quiet overall.

On a side note, Beverage Factory customer service has been pretty weak: no shipping notifications, very slow to send replacement parts, and failed to send necessary parts when they replaced a broken elbow shank from my original order. Keyworks or Micro Matic are probably better options from a service perspective, but might cost more and don't sell the cheaper refrigerators/cabinets.

I had the same pouring problem as everyone else. Found I had to remove the middle insert and throw that out, and take top off  and pour slowly in order to avoid drips and spills. Perhaps the spout should be designed larger, deeper? Otherwise it's great, solid construction. Would look for an alternative if I were to buy another.

The top leaks and it's very annoying. You have to hold it in your hand upright otherwise it'll spill everywhere. The plastic quality feels good and the spout is great but the leaking just ruins it for me

at first this pump feels very solid. The main body feels well constructed and it works well. However the nozzle is crappy plastic and broke within five minuets of tapping. Fortunately we had an old tap that didn't work and swapped its nozzle for the broken one. The larger model has good reviews which is why I thought the smaller one would be ok, but I was wrong. I wouldn't recommend this product unless you have backup nozzle/hosing or a backup tap. Aside from the nozzle, I do feel like this tap will last several more kegs than our old tap did.

The glass pitcher is fine. It is solid and just like it is described. I would have  given this a five star review except that the pouring spout is horrible. Every time you pour the drink into a cup, you have to have a towel to wipe up where it spills. It's simply seems like a really bad design.

Be carefull. when you try to pour out the spout the whole hinged front can open - result kibbles all over the counter and floor. After two such experiences we are using duct tape to reinforce

I used this tap for 2 hours and it broke.  The pump cylinders locked up and would no longer pressurize the keg.  The system was not abused and I'm quite shocked that it broke so quickly.  Granted it was being used outdoors, but it was not abused at all and it broke pretty quickly.  The trouble is that you can't pump it a lot and it needs to be in a very clean house and people need to not use dirty shoes to pump the tap.  If any of these conditions are not met, then the tap locks up.  I don't know too many keg parties that require a 3 prong tap that are "orderly" so I'd try something else.

I wanted to love this water bottle.  And in some ways, I do.  I own two.  But I kind of feel more like they're the best option I've found so far rather than they're the perfect water bottles that I cannot live without.

Pros:
-Really and truly folks, it does not leak!
-Durable bottle.  I am a busy mama of three little people.  This bottle has taken a decent amount of nasty tumbles.
-No biting or crazy suction required to get liquid out - allowing you to drink quickly and not feel like your dentist will hate you.
-Transparent + measurements on the side so you can keep up with how much you've been drinking.
-No BPA.
-Fits in my car cup holder.
-Loop allows the use of a carabiner to clip it to a diaper bag or backpack.
-Small sip spout means no accidentally dumping a ton of water on your face like the screw on lid water bottles with huge mouths.
-One-handed drinking is my favorite feature!  I love not having to take the time to unscrew the lid.

Cons:
-The tall skinny aspect with a heavy lid is sort of unbalance which leads to a lot of tumbles.
-I guess it's the loop being lighter, but any time this bottle falls it falls toward the spout end.  If it falls on pavement, the mouth piece gets scratched up leading to a razor sharp drinking spout.  This is the reason I had to buy a second bottle.  But hey, if you drop it a few more times, the razor sharp edge may eventually smooth out a little.
-There's something about the vacuum type seal that sometimes makes water shoot up on my face when I finish taking a sip.  There's some sort of timing of the sip and button and correlation to the amount of liquid in the bottle thing going on or something.  Anyway, I find that often enough, some water leaks out or squirts out immediately after a sip.

Overall, this is a decent and durable product that I continue to use, but I will probably continue a search for a more ideal water bottle at the same time.

I'm a tea drinker, so use a kettle everyday.  I wanted an orange kettle, so went with the Rachael Ray because of that.  My complaint about it concerns the handle and spout.  The handle gets very hot and requires a pot holder to handle.  That makes opening up the spout a two-hand operation.  Unlike my other tea kettles over the years, this is just too much a hassle to use.  I've gone back to my older kettle for now.

It's ok. Didn't like the spout on it. Gave it to my daughter and got a CamelBak Chute for me.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas last year. He loves it except for Unfortunately when there is any alcohol in it the spigot leaks. When he has it filled with water it doesn't. It's odd and frustrating. Such a waste of alcohol that drips out.

It started out fine, but soon began leaking from the lid and down the handle while brewing.  It dribbled from the pour spout when serving.  I bought another brand of this style and have no problems with it.
