Only recently unboxed and assembled. So, this is first impressions only. I'll update the review if I have further observations.Caught this on a nice promotion, but even at the regular price, it's priced pretty reasonably for these things. Construction and components seem to be of good quality and well machined. It assembled smoothly. No burrs or rough edges. I'll take it all apart, give it a good cleaning and lube the o-rings before putting it into service. Instructions could be better, but it's not that hard to figure out and realistically, not necessary.The only thing it lacks is something to keep the lid associated with the keg, so it doesn't get lost when using the tap/regulator assembly. But, that seems easy enough to MaGuyver.I like the texture to the black paint. I was expecting it to be a smooth surface on the exterior, but I actually like this better.Can't comment on how the regulator functions just yet, but I'll update my review if it seems particularly awesome or awkward.Again, first impressions, but so far I'm very pleased and would recommend it.
