HCK Kegerator, 24 Inch Outdoor Kegerator for Patio with 3 Taps, Full Size Beer Dispenser and Beverage Refrigerator with Auto Defrost & Reversible Stainless Steel Door, Ideal for Home Bars

This refrigerator lasted about one month longer than 1 year, and then quit cooling. The light goes on; but it doesn’t cool. I asked the company how long the warranty was, expecting nothing. I was shocked, as the company was extremely responsive and they are sending me a replacement free of charge! They are even paying the shipping! Now that is EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!

We recently purchased 24-inch outdoor refrigerator for our patio,and it has exceeded our expectations.the stainless steel door looks sleek and blends seamlessly with our outdoor setup.it’s the perfect size -spacious enough to hold all our beverages (easily fits 150+cans ) yet compact enough to fit under the counter. The fridge cools quickly and maintains a consistent temperature, even on hot summer days .installation was straightforward, and we appreciate the sturdy construction it feels durable for long term outdoor use.

Overall this fridge is a good value for the money. I liked it so much I purchased two. One for my kitchenette and the other for my outdoor deck. There are some small upgrades that you can and should consider but none are deal breakers (see more below).The good...- Temperature regulation - The fridge runs for approximately 10-15 minutes every hour and typically maintains a temperature around 38 degrees fahrenheit (see graph). The control appears to perform a defrost cycle every 4-5 hours for 45 minutes where the compressor does not run allowing the coil to defrost (does not have a heater for defrost). To me this temperature regulation is very good.- Well Packaged - Both fridges were very weil packaged with 2' of foam encasing the fridge without a mark, dent or scratch- Attention to detail and build quality - All stainless steel panels are brushed and formed well without sharp edges. The stainless steel construction should last both indoors and outdoors. The back lower panel appears to be steel sheet metal but that is perfectly fine. The stainless will show finger prints but that is common. The condensate pan has refrigerant lines in it to assist with evaporation next to the compressor. When reversing the door there is a cable tie on the door tension rod to prevent you from fishing for it in the door, small simple but nice touch.- Decent insulation - To achieve the great temperature regulation the fridge has to be decently insulated and appears to have about 1.5-2" of foam insulation throughout. The outdoor fridge also holds a steady temperature.Improvements I would like to see...- Premium fans - Anyone that has built and owned computers for 2-5 years will know that fan are often a price saving point for manufacturers and will need to be replaced. The 12V 120mm Hui Tong Electronic fans probably fall into this category. It would be nice to see premium fans from a known manufacturer used. With most appliances lasting years, noise reduction I could see this as a selling point. Are most fridges on the market ignoring this detail also... Definitely This is not a deal breaker for me as fans can be easily purchased and replaced. Will I make the premium upgrade at some point soon with some IP67 fans from a known/premium manufacturer for peace of mind, most definitely.- Stainless Steel Racks - The white wire racks seem out of place and other manufacturers offer all stainless racks. Suggest an upgrade to stainless racks to improve the overall look and feel of this product. Is this a deal breaker, no. Will the white wire racks outlive this product and be functional, yes.- Caulked Seams - The bottom seams of the fridge are exposed, if a can or soda were to leak it would go into these seams. I suggest that the manufacturer caulks and seals these seams to prevent ingress of debris and fluids. I have made this small upgrade with some silicone RTV. The manufacturer is going through the efforts to seal the condensation pan in the back of the fridge. Just continue the caulking throughout the bottom... Deal breaker no, but buy some RTV and 5 minutes of my/your time.- Rough surface interior consideration - The textured metal surface of the fridge is a little annoying to clean if something sticky or general cleanup. sometimes a tooth brush is needed to clean the surface. The textured surface does look nice when clean and stands out from plastic interiors. time will tell how well this hold up and if it oxidizes/corrodes. A different surface would help with cleaning.Overall this fridge is very well built and should be on your list for a built in fridge both indoors and outdoors.

Arrived securely packaged with fast delivery. Setup took minutes: unbox, attach shelf clips, and adjust shelves. Respected the 24-hour refrigerant settling time (per instructions), then powered up perfectly. Cans reached frosty cold temps by evening. Sleek stainless steel design blends seamlessly with our outdoor kitchen hardware. No regrets – great value!

Compressor failed about 3 years of services. Purposely purchased this item due to be outside on a covered patio and weather rated.

We bought this for our patio.. And we love it.. We have many family get togethers and this way people can go get their own drinks instead of making many trips in the house.. I can keep it running even in the winter.. Completely weather proof..

Installed this kegerator in my home bar in basement as a built-in under cabinet unit in November of 2022 and barely 24 months later the unit stopped cooling and I couldn't keep temperture below 55 degree fahrenheit. I didn't buy the warranty, looking back now I should have. I contacted the manufacture and they were no help. They just directed me back to Amazon. I would definitely proceed with caution when selecting this unit, especially for the built in space. I am concerned with buying a new unit and wondering if the beer faucet unit will align with the pre-drilled hole in my granite countertop. I don't want to buy another unit from this manufactuer due to poor product life. Loved the unit while it was working however I would expect this would last longer than two years for this kind of money.

The HCK under counter refrigerator provides extra refrigeration space we need on our boat. It was built solid.However, the wired shelves will require some time to get used to. The delivery guy left the refrigerator upside down so all the shelves, hardware and the heavy duty handle dropped and created 5 or 6 dents inside the refrigerator.Does automatically defrost means there is always water pooling at the bottom of the refrigerator? I don’t know how to fix the water pooling but I don’t want the pooling water to ruin the hardwood floor.Here’s the update of the situation.HCK quickly responded to the water pooling problem and acknowledged it’s due manufacturing defect. The replacement piece arrived in a week and the new one works perfectly.It’s a pleasure to deal with a company that stands behind the quality of its products. I am a fan!
