Cons:

- CO2 Cartridges Have to be Bought Separately: Though the appliance works with non-pressurized kegs but the CO2 cartridges that make it possible have to be bought separately.
- Poor Quality Parts: The regulator and tap are of poor quality and likely to be damaged very easily.
- Draft Tube has a Small Diameter: The draft tube has a small diameter which not only results in a very slow pour but can also leave the beer slightly de-carbonated.
The Avanti Mini Kegerator with its compact design, decent storage capacity, easy installation and useful features is a good choice for tailgate parties and home brewing. However, you must be patient in order to deal with its slow pour and cheap quality parts.
