Overview
This True direct-draw dispenser is a stainless steel commercial kegerator built to hold one half barrel keg, with door locks and a refrigeration system rated to hold 33 to 38 F.
The construction is genuinely commercial grade, with 300 series stainless steel flooring, galvanized steel walls, and NSF approval for pre-packaged and bottled product, which is why it's sized and built differently from home mini-fridge kegerators. That commercial pedigree matters for the warranty terms, according to the one review on record.
- Holds 1 half barrel keg
- Stainless steel, NSF approved
- 33 to 38 F refrigeration range
- Built-in door locks
Who it's for
Built for bars, restaurants, or other commercial settings that need a full half-barrel keg dispenser. The one detailed review warns it is a poor fit for home use given noise, running cost, and a reported lack of home warranty coverage.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
The single review on record reports the unit runs loud and nearly all the time, with electricity costs the reviewer estimated at around $40 a month. It does keep beer cold, but the reviewer discovered only after the compressor failed around the 5 year mark that True provides zero warranty coverage for this commercial unit when used in a home, and said they weren't informed of that before buying.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- NSF-approved stainless steel construction for pre-packaged product
- Holds one full half barrel keg
- Refrigeration factory balanced to 33 to 38 F
- Built-in door locks
Performance notes
The refrigeration system is factory balanced to hold 33 to 38 F, built around a 300 series stainless steel floor and heavy gauge galvanized steel walls behind stainless doors. The one reviewer confirmed it does keep beer cold, but described the compressor running nearly continuously with high electricity draw.
