5l Minikegs

[mChavez]

Hi!

I've done some reading on 5L minikegs and I am considering buying something like this set:

Unless I can find a UK seller of plastic 6L bottles like these:

There seem to be a lot of people who are not happy with minikegs, but I can't see any examples why these kegs are bad.

Assuming that I use oxyclean to clean them and I only do natural carbonation, what are the reasons not to buy these kegs? I am aware that they can only be re-used about 10 times.
I do not intend to get a corny any time soon =(

Thank you!

I guess I'm one cheap mofo, but at approximately $80 (US) to transport 150L of beer (total) before disposal I'd say F that. JMO.

It works out as $10 per 50L, plus the tap, so seems reasonably cheap to me...
