The control panel on this EdgeStar model features top of the line temp controls that allow you to set the temperature ranging from thirty-two degrees up to fifty degrees. the control panel itself is easy to read and even easier to use. You can adjust and monitor temperature settings based on manufacturer recommendations, so you’re guaranteed to have your favorite beer on tap that tastes just as rich and crisp as the day you tapped the keg. This precision temperature control works very well when it comes to quickly cooling down a new keg. In fact, it even comes equipped with a deep chill mode that will send the kegerator into overdrive when the deep chill button is pressed and will quickly send the temperature back to regular cooling mode when you hit the button a second time.
Portability

On top of this model is an eye-catching guardrail so you can store your mugs and classes neatly, making them more accessible to guests.
The full-size cabinet can handle a keg of any size including corny and sixth barrels, making it one of the most versatile models on the market, unlike its top competitor, the Midea WHS-199BB1 Compact Single Door Kegerator, which can only store a ½ or ¼ keg.
