Okay, so I’ve always been a bit of a home bar enthusiast, but space? That’s always been the enemy. So when I stumbled upon the Summit 24″ Undercounter Kegerator (SBC58BLBIADANK), I thought, “Could this be the answer?” A kegerator that doesn’t dominate the entire room? Sign me up!
First Glance: Sleek and Sturdy
Right off the bat, this thing looks the part. That stainless steel door? Classy. And the black cabinet? It just blends in, you know? No clashing nightmares here. The door itself feels really solid, which is reassuring. Plus, the fact that you can switch the door swing? Genius! Seriously, that little detail made all the difference in my cramped space.
Sliding It In: Installation and Capacity
Getting it set up was a breeze. No sweat, really. And the fact that it’s ADA-compliant? Major bonus points! It slid right under my counter, snug as a bug.
Now, inside is where the magic happens. That stainless steel floor? Thank goodness! I’ve wrestled with kegs before, and let me tell you, they’re heavy! Knowing this thing can handle the weight is a relief. And holding two 1/6 kegs? Perfect for variety! I’m thinking a crisp pilsner and a hoppy IPA – something for everyone, right? Just a heads up, though: you’ll need to grab a CO2 tank and tap kit separately. Gotta factor that into the budget.
Easy Peasy: Features and How It Works
The controls are wonderfully simple. No need for a PhD in kegerator operation here! Just a good old-fashioned thermostat dial. And the automatic defrost? A gift from the heavens! I’ve had kegerators that were basically icebergs, but this one seems to be holding its own. The interior light is a nice touch too – perfect for those sneaky midnight pours.
Nitpicks (Because Nothing’s Perfect)
If I had to grumble about something, it’s the tap kit situation. It feels like they should just throw that in, you know? Complete the package. Also, the drip tray is functional, but it’s not exactly heavy-duty. A minor thing, really.
The Verdict: Thumbs Up!
All in all, the Summit SBC58BLBIADANK is a fantastic little kegerator. It’s built well, looks great, and doesn’t take up a ton of space. Sure, it’s not the cheapest option, but you get what you pay for. If you’re looking for a kegerator that fits seamlessly into your life without being a pain in the neck, this is it. Just remember to budget for that tap kit, and you’ll be golden! Cheers!
