Does anyone have one, particularly one that might use the 5-Liter pressurized kegs?

Been interested in getting into home brewing and have seen several of the 5-liter and 6-liter countertop appliances that might be decent for homebrew dispensing (plus buying the pressurized kegs when I just want beer).

Any of the other kinds people use? Maintenance? Ease of use?

I've got one and really enjoy it. I think it's an Edgestar - will check. But it's not for the 5-liters - mine holds one full size keg or two 1/6 kegs. Maintenance hasn't been bad, except for getting the CO2 canisters - they lock those things up like a bomb. But keeps beer cold and is really reliable....

I haven't bought any bombs, but they act like those C02 canisters could be one 😀

In high school the anarchist cook book taught me how to turn those co2 carts for pellet guns into bombs. Oh the good ole days of kegs and home made pipe bombs. Take me back 20 ish years.
