Make sure you have places to go to have it filled. During Covid a lot of bars switched to "Crowler" machines and will not fill a Growler. My local Growler bar, "Bru" in Odessa FL, just closed. Not sure where I can get it filled within a 15 minute drive. That is my problem and not the manufacturers. Holds CO2 fine. Beer stays carbonated. Tap handle can be swapped for any commercial tap handle. Easy to use. It needs a drip catcher. That is not this manufacturer's issue. It would be the same on any tapped Growler with this design. Beer taps drip. If you go to a bar and look at the kegerators, there is a tray with holes that drain through a tube down under the kegerator (I used to operate one). The problem with these is there is nothing to catch the drips or condensation. Make sure to think that through before putting one in your fridge and making a sticky mess. There are solutions. Again, I love mine. People love when I have it filled and take to parties. Know the size you want: 128 oz = 8 pint glasses 64 oz = 4 pint glasses 1 CO2 cartridge lasts one fill, if you follow the cleaning instructions and use CO2 to wash and flush the Growler. Keep an extra cartridge handy when going to parties just in case.
