Kegco Kit quality? Newbie looking for a kegging starting point.

[jasonbickford]

Hey guys.

I've been a forum prowler for a while and have about 2 dozen threads bookmarked but never posted.

I'm looking at getting into kegging but have no experience. Since I'm starting from scratch I've been looking at complete kegging kits but I'm also considering putting together my own kit from components.

Today this one caught my eye:

Kegco Two Keg Door Mount Homebrew Kegerator Kit Ball Lock - New Kegs
http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/conversion-kits/homebrew-kits/KC2KHBBLK.shtml

It looks like a pretty decent deal but I can't find many reviews of Kegco products. Has anybody bought a kit from them that can share their experience? If people highly recommend a kit from another vendor please let me know!

I know there are some features people want like MFL connectors on their ball lock couplers and gas/beer lines and I've even seen some fancy stainless couplers. How much will I miss not having these? And is it something I can conveniently add?

Kit costs $279 (w/o a CO2 tank which I hear are cheap at local gas shops).

This kit contains:
•Two Brand New 5 Gallon Ball Lock Homebrew Kegs
•Includes Commercial Double Gauge Co2 Regulator w/ Air Splitter
•Includes Two Separate Assemblies of 5 feet of 5/16 Inch I.D. Draft Air Line Assembly with 2 Snap Clamps
•Includes Two Sets of Ball Lock Home Brew Keg Connectors for Ball Lock Kegs
•Includes Two 4-1/8" Long Shank with Nipple Assembly
•Includes Two Chrome Beer Faucet with Brass Lever

Thanks for all the great posts and info!
