Push button charger system

Anyone know anything about this 'push button charger' system from William's Brewing? It looks interesting

It uses the little co2 carts you buy for air rifles. IMHO they would quickly become very expensive. I can refill my 10# co2 bottle for $24, and that has lasted just under a year. If you like that size keg, you can purchase mini kegs with ball lock fittings to use in a smaller space, or to offer more options on tap. What appeals to you about this system?

They have been around a while with the first versions at least being just a lquid QD with a schrader valve and a re-brand bike tire inflator. If you are going to drink the keg relatively quickly and/or do not mind a little inconsistency in the carbonation level or foaming it is an OK solution. The cartridges add up quick, though.

Thanks, I had no idea a 10# tank would last that long. Space is at a premium so I was attracted to the smaller setup, but I will keep looking
