Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of BeerTender from Heineken and Krups B95 Home Beer-Tap System
Customer Review: Heineken Beer Tender
Summary: 4 Stars
To date the Beer Tender is working as advertised. However the "on-off" switch is real flimsy. There is so much play in the cheaply designed switch, it seem as if it will break at any time right from the first time you turn it on. With so much though and planning that went into this product - they certainly could have designed the "on-off" switch a whole lot better.Customer Review: Can't recommend this
Summary: 1 Stars
How can anybody justify this thing? It's a $300 gizmo (read:"it will break") that helps you serve a SINGLE type of beverage; a type of beverage that is otherwise serve-able using nothing more than your home fridge!
Ok, but you want "beer on drought"? Then buy a tap ($50), buy a CO2 tank ($50), buy a pressure regulator ($40) and buy a used fridge/freezer ($??). You'll probably spend around $200-250, but then you can buy a KEG of **ANY** beer you like!! Plus, the whole keg-er-ator set up will probably last you a heck of a lot longer than this ridiculous Krups paperweight.
Customer Review: B95 Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had the BeerTender B95 for 3 weeks and love it. The B95 was a big hit at a pool party I had last weekend. The unit is very easy to use just make sure you pre-chill your 5L keg or purchase the keg chilled due to the time it take the B95 to chill form room temp. about 10hrs. I personal like Heineken but it would be good to see other beer makers offer a 5L keg for the unit. (Samuel Adams hint hint)Customer Review: Very nice but .....
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this item. There are a few things that are a let down though. Pouring is very difficult. Every pour I had ended up being a complete glass of "head". I was at a friends house and his girlfriend used to be a bartender and she was only able to pour about 1/4 beer 3/4 head from this machine. Once it settles the beer tastes great. Customer Review: Wonderful machine but...

I have had the B95 model for about 3 weeks. I absolutely love everything about it except 1 thing. I have the temp set on 36 degrees and my very accurate instant read thermometer says the actual temp it's drawing at is 38.9. (into a cool but not chilled in the freezer beer glass) I'm wondering if I'm the only one who has actually tested that. The display reads that it is set at 36 and that the drinking temp is 36...but, it pours at 38.9.
I called Amazon and they are shipping me a new one and I'll keep you posted.
Please, anyone with a B95 and a good thermometer check your temp and let me know.
