VEVOR Dual Tap Kegerator Review
The VEVOR Dual Tap Kegerator (vevor-keg-dual) is a $669.90 dual faucet, D system kegerator built for a home brewer who wants two full-size kegs pouring at once without paying stainless-cabinet prices.
VEVOR Dual Tap Kegerator (full size, D system)
VEVOR
It gives two independent full-size keg wells and faucets at $669.90, roughly $250 under the stainless Kegco dual tap, without giving up the compressor and thermostat that make a kegerator a kegerator.

What this review is and what it is not
Nobody on this site owns the VEVOR Dual Tap Kegerator, and this is not the result of personal hands-on testing. What follows is an honest synthesis of the published manufacturer specification, the listing details for this exact model, and what verified owner reviews consistently report about tap count, temperature stability and how the cabinet holds up over months of use. Where the listing is silent on a figure a buyer would want, that gap is named rather than guessed at.
That approach has limits and they are worth stating plainly. It cannot tell you how loud the compressor sounds in your specific kitchen, and it cannot confirm a unit will hold a set temperature in a garage that swings from cold to warm across the year. Those are things only a buyer in their own space, or a long enough run of matching owner reports, can really answer.
A kegerator, not a conversion kit
The VEVOR Dual Tap Kegerator is a complete refrigerated appliance: a cabinet with its own compressor and thermostat, built with a tower already mounted, not a tower kit meant to be drilled into a freezer you already own. That distinction is the reason kegerators in this catalog run from $509.90 for the single-tap VEVOR up to $912.54 for the stainless Kegco dual tap, while conversion kits that assume you already own the fridge run from $105.90 to $305.00. Paying $669.90 here buys the whole cooling appliance, not just the hardware bolted on top of one.
If you already own a spare chest freezer with real interior clearance for a full-size keg, a conversion kit is the cheaper route to the same pour and this specific review does not apply to you. If you do not have that freezer sitting idle, the math changes: a freezer purchase added to a conversion kit often costs as much as or more than this unit arrives ready to run.
What the D system fitting means for you
This model is built for full-size D system kegs, the coupler style most common on commercial and many homebrew-filled kegs, rather than the 5 gallon ball lock corny kegs a lot of home brewers already own. That single detail matters more than tap count when deciding if this is the right unit: if your kegs are corny kegs with ball lock posts, the VEVOR Dual Tap Kegerator for Ball Lock Kegs (vevor-keg-balllock) at $719.90 is the fitting-correct choice, not this one. Confirm your keg type against the listing before ordering, since fitting mismatches are the most avoidable mistake in kegerator shopping.
Two independent faucets means two kegs can be tapped and poured at once without sharing a line, which is the entire reason to step up from a single tap unit. That is worth paying for once you are running two fermenters at a time, so a house beer never has to come off tap while a second batch conditions.

How it compares to the Kegco dual tap
The Kegco 24 inch Dual Tap Stainless Kegerator (kegco-dual) is the other dual-faucet option in this catalog, and at $912.54 it costs about $250 more than this VEVOR. The published difference between the two is cabinet material: the Kegco is finished in stainless steel, while the VEVOR uses a painted or plastic-panel cabinet depending on the listing photos. Stainless resists dents and looks more finished in a kitchen or a bar area a guest will see; it does not change how the beer pours or how long the compressor lasts.
For a garage, a basement, or anywhere the cabinet will not be a design centerpiece, that $250 gap buys appearance more than function, and the VEVOR is the more efficient purchase for the same two-tap capacity. For a kegerator that will sit in a finished kitchen or a space guests see often, the Kegco is a reasonable premium to pay for looks alone, but it is a cosmetic upgrade, not a performance one, based on what each listing publishes.
What owner feedback consistently raises
Across verified owner reviews of budget and mid-range kegerators like this one, two topics come up again and again: how consistently the thermostat holds temperature over weeks of use, and how much compressor noise the unit produces during its cycling. Neither is unique to this model, and neither shows up as a defect specific to VEVOR in the pattern of reviews; both are simply the ownership realities of any compressor-driven refrigerated cabinet at this price point.
- A kegerator that runs in a warm garage will cycle its compressor more often than one in a climate-controlled room, which is a function of ambient heat, not a flaw in the unit.
- Owners who report the smoothest experience are the ones who checked the listed interior dimensions against their actual keg height before ordering, rather than assuming any full-size keg would fit.
What it does not automatically include
A kegerator listing covers the refrigerated cabinet and the tower mounted on it. Whether a CO2 tank and regulator ship in the box varies by exact bundle, so check the specific product page rather than assume either way. If gas hardware is not included, a Ferroday Dual Gauge CO2 Regulator (ferroday-reg) at $40.59 and a 5 lb aluminum tank such as the VEVOR 5 lb Aluminum CO2 Tank (co2-vevor) at $69.90 cover the gap. You will also need beer line running from keg to faucet, and eventually a cleaning routine for both.
Who this is for, and who should look elsewhere
This is the right buy for a home brewer who is regularly running two kegs at once, owns or is buying full-size D system kegs rather than corny kegs, and wants the cabinet, compressor and tower as one purchase rather than as a project built around a freezer they already own. It is not the right buy for someone with corny kegs already on hand, for someone who only ever finishes one keg before starting the next, or for someone who already owns a spare chest freezer with clearance for a keg, since a conversion kit will get that person to the same pour for a fraction of the price.
Noise, placement and running cost over time
Any compressor-driven appliance produces cycling noise and puts off some heat into the room it sits in, and this unit is no exception based on how it is built. A finished basement or a spare bedroom will make that cycling more noticeable than a garage or utility room, simply because those rooms tend to be quieter and better sealed to begin with. That is not a defect specific to this model, it is a property of any refrigeration compressor, and it is worth factoring into where the cabinet ends up living before ordering rather than after.
Measure the intended spot for the cabinet's full footprint plus clearance for the door or lid to open completely, including enough room to lift a keg in and out without bumping the tower or the wall behind it. Two faucets sitting side by side also need enough width between them that pouring one does not mean bumping elbows with the other, which is a detail easy to miss when only comparing tap count between listings.
Keeping lines and faucets clean over the life of the unit
A kegerator is not a buy-once, maintain-never appliance. Beer line and faucets accumulate residue over time regardless of brand or price, and a periodic cleaning pass with a dedicated beer line cleaning kit, such as the Kegconnection Beer Line Cleaning Kit (kegconnection-clean) at $39.45, keeps pour quality consistent and protects the investment in the cabinet itself. Skipping line cleaning is a common way an otherwise well-chosen kegerator starts pouring worse over months of use, and it has nothing to do with the compressor or thermostat inside the cabinet.
The three tiers
These are three genuinely different builds, not the same product at three prices. Buy the tier that matches how much you already know you will use it.
VEVOR Single Tap Kegerator (full size)
VEVOR
A single tap holds one full-size keg for $509.90, the right call if you finish one keg before starting the next and do not yet need two lines pouring at the same time.

VEVOR
The VEVOR Dual Tap Draft Beer Dispenser costs $609.90, about $60 less than the reviewed unit, and is worth checking against your keg type since fitting details can differ between VEVOR dual tap listings.
$609.90
View on AmazonKegco 24 inch Dual Tap Stainless Kegerator
Kegco
Stainless cladding and a dual tap tower cost $912.54, worth it only if the cabinet sits somewhere guests will see it. Skip this if the kegerator is going in a garage or basement, since the extra cost buys looks, not colder beer or a longer-lasting compressor.

Before you do this
A CO2 cylinder is a high pressure vessel. Keep it upright and secured so it cannot fall or roll, never modify the valve or regulator yourself, and have the tank filled or exchanged only through a qualified gas supplier.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the VEVOR Dual Tap Kegerator fit corny kegs?
- As listed, this model is built for D system full-size kegs, not 5 gallon ball lock corny kegs. If your kegs use ball lock posts, the VEVOR Dual Tap Kegerator for Ball Lock Kegs at $719.90 is the fitting-correct version instead. Always confirm keg fitting against the specific listing before ordering, since a full-size cabinet and a ball lock cabinet are not interchangeable without different couplers.
- Is the VEVOR Dual Tap Kegerator worth it compared to the Kegco dual tap?
- At $669.90 against the Kegco 24 inch Dual Tap Stainless Kegerator at $912.54, the published difference is cabinet material, stainless on the Kegco versus a painted or plastic panel on the VEVOR. Neither listing suggests a difference in cooling performance or compressor life. For a garage or basement kegerator, the VEVOR is the more efficient buy; for a finished kitchen where looks matter, the stainless premium may be worth it.
- Does the VEVOR Dual Tap Kegerator come with a CO2 tank?
- That varies by exact bundle, so check the specific listing rather than assume either way. If your bundle does not include gas hardware, a 5 lb aluminum CO2 tank and a dual gauge regulator are sold separately and typically add well under $150 combined. Confirm CGA fitting on any tank and regulator pair before buying to make sure they thread together correctly.
- How many kegs can a dual tap kegerator hold?
- A dual tap cabinet like this one is built with two separate keg wells and two independent faucets, so it holds two full-size kegs pouring at the same time. That is different from a single tap kegerator such as the VEVOR Single Tap Kegerator at $509.90, which holds one keg. Two taps matter most once you are running two fermenters and want a house beer available while a second batch conditions.
- Can this kegerator go in a garage?
- As with most compressor-driven kegerators, ambient temperature affects how hard the compressor has to work, so check the manufacturer's stated operating range against your garage's temperature swings across the year. Owner reviews of similar units suggest more frequent cycling in warmer, uninsulated spaces, which is a function of ambient heat rather than a defect. Keep any CO2 cylinder upright and secured regardless of where the cabinet sits.
