Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Everything appears to be of good quality, except the regulator unit. It is made of plastic and the seals/gaskets tend to move out of place if you tighten it too much. Yes, you should be careful when you tighten something like this, but this is unreasonably fragile. Especially for something that is PRESSURIZED. First, if you tighten the regulator too tight when putting it on the growler, the ring seal easily moves out of place, the ring seal slips out of its groove. This causes the CO2 to leak out of the growler, hence losing its pressure. Once I figured this out, I always had to remind the bartender to gently put on the cap and just turn it to where it is snug and not too tight. Second, after I got that worked out, a new issue popped up. Now when I replace the cartridge and tighten the case, which then punctures the cartridge, you have to keep tightening the case so it does not leak. Well, now it leaks before I can even put it on the growler. The seals in this part are damaged and irreplaceable. This growler could very easily be a 5 star. But the last few times that I have tried to show it off to friends, the regulator would fail on me. Now the regulator is completely useless. I now have a very expensive non-pressurized growler, which I have had for 2 and 1/2 months and filled only 5 times. I will reach out to Growlerwerks and see how this gets handled and update this review. Thank you, for reading.
