PRICE DOESN’T MATTER
The EdgeStar KC7000SSTWIN Full-Size Dual Tap Tower Kegerator is the kind of kegerator for beer experts willing to satisfy their refined palate with a sophisticated beer pour. A device for people who give a damn about the insane cost or the burdensome size of the machine as long as it provides the ultimate draft beer experience. If you happen to be one of them, this monster could cost you an arm and a leg, but you just need one arm to drink beer, right?
Well, if you decided to pay a bit more, you will have in return an appliance that serves in technically any possible circumstance in terms of beer pouring. First, this home device comes with frontal vent, allowing it to work as an autonomous appliance as well as installed. Moreover, it is fitted with a next-gen cooling system that distributes the temperature equally throughout the whole appliance, no matter if it is built-in or freestanding. Not only does an excellent performance keeping the temperature as low as you think it’s ideal, but it is designed to avoid any risk of hot spots, te-chnically ensuring a flawless pour each time. Also, thanks to the equal distribution of cold air, you can be sure that you won’t get half beer and half foam in the first beer pouring.
DURABLE DESIGN
That said, now let’s talk about one of the main features of this kegerator. As already mentioned, it has plenty of interesting traits to point out, but what definitely makes this EdgeStar model shine is its strong structure. The tough door as well as the handle are covered in robust stainless steel, resistant enough as to let you enjoy a tasty glass of cold beer in the midst of a bombing. Ok, maybe we’re feeling a little lightheaded. The thing is that the design is incredibly durable and good-looking as well.
AS we already mentioned, this is a little huge model, having dimensions of 23,7” x 25,3” x 34,3” and a weight of about 115 pounds. It’s no wonder the brand included a kit of extra helping for handling such a machine. Apart from the usual kit of accessories, this model includes a digital control panel for you to make adjustments just by pushing some buttons. Moreover, the inner LED lights shine on your kegs and the equipment, without consuming much electricity and not affecting the inner temperature.
In other words, if a few dollars more don’t matter when it comes to getting plenty of space to keep your kegs cold, it wouldn’t be crazy at all to purchase the EdgeStar KC7000SSTWIN. The machine itself has an amazingly durable build and a reliable system that keeps your brew cold from the keg till it reaches your mug.
