Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Heineken BT10001 BeerTender Tubes, 10 Count
Customer Review: More of a Novelty than Anything Else
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the BeerTender for my hubby because he loves Heineken and I was sick of recycling all the bottles and cans. I wanted to get a different brand of beer dispenser because I read some so-so reviews of the BeerTender plus I wanted one that would handle ANY brand of mini-keg (just in case) and didn't want to buy the tubes necessary for it. However, the other dispensers were pretty much available only in Europe!
Hubby does enjoy the BeerTender, but it foams a LOT and you have to use a new tube each time (I have to buy the tubes online because they aren't sold locally). The 30-day countdown readout (as mentioned in other reviews) doesn't work on ours either. And, you have to take the keg into the liquor store to get your deposit back rather than running it through the recycling machines. Kind of a hassle.
Overall, it's entertaining, looks good on the bar and the tubes work fine, but I'm buying a different one if we ever move to Europe!
Customer Review: The Good, the Bad, and the BeerTender
Summary: 3 Stars
We love the Heineken BeerTender (having cold draft beer in the house is great!), and though you must have the BeerTender Tubes in order for it to work, there is frequently a problem with them. Sometimes the spout end of the tube doesn't allow the spigot top to shut properly, so we have to wiggle it around and play with it for a lot longer than seems right to get it to shut. When they slide right in, it's a wonderful thing, but about 75% of the time, this problem arises.
Other than that, Amazon got them delivered in short order, so Amazon gets five stars!
Customer Review: Beware the leak
Summary: 3 Stars
The tubes are not completely fool proof it seems - just had one break lose at the junction to the Heineken spout - it drained more or less an entire Draught keg onto my counter and floor. This is the first time after about 15 refills that this has happened - but its a little disheartening. I will call it a freak event at this point, I will drop another keg in there tomorrow and see if life does not return to normal. Just fair warning, a leak in the system is an absolute disaster. Leaks are bad um kay.
Customer Review: Defective Tubes
Summary: 1 Stars
I am extremely disappointed in this order. The tubes that I received were not the same as previous orders although the product code is the same. The round part that inserts into the top middle of the keg was very different. As a result, as soon as I inserted the tube into the keg, beer spewed from the top and I lost a great deal of beer, not to mention the mess it made. As a result of this experience, I feel that I deserve a coupon for a free keg of Heineken.Customer Review: Beer extractor
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't know if it was the extractor or the keg of Heinekin...This also was the first time I had used the keg...The beer came out so foamy that I would have to wait 5 minutes for it to go down so I could finish filling up my "stein"....This really killed the experience, to the point that I am no longer interested in purchasing the Heinekin kegs...However, it did solve my problem of purchasing a keg with no pump. / LA
