Can I keep my Kegerator outside?

Can I use my kegerator outside? Only outdoor kegerators should be used outside. Using an indoor kegerator outside stresses the unit’s compressor, shortens its life, and will not chill beer to its optimal temperature. Most home kegerators function best in room temperature environments (mid-70° Fahrenheit).

Can I put a Kegerator in a cabinet?

Most draft beer keg refrigerators are not designed for being built into cabinet. Without adequate space air circulation, the compressor will be unable to properly cool the inside of the refrigerator, and the compressor will likely overheat and burnout.

Is it worth having a Kegerator?

When you buy a kegerator for your home, you’re not only able to conveniently store large amounts of cold draft beer, but you can also save approximately 40-60% in costs, compared to buying the same volume of beer in cans or bottles. The savings can be even greater for some brands of beers, as well as various keg sizes.
