What are the dimensions and weight of the EdgeStar KC1000SS Kegerator?

The EdgeStar KC1000SS dimensions are 32.7″ in height, 17.5″ in width, and 20.1″ in depth. These measurements represent the unit only, as the product is designed for freestanding use and is not compatible with casters.

The EdgeStar KC1000SS measures 32.7″ H x 17.5″ W x 20.1″ D. These measurements are for the fridge only; because the unit is not compatible with casters, the floor footprint remains consistent. The depth measurement of 20.1″ is to the front of the door, which is critical for kegerators because the door must swing open 90 degrees to allow for easy access to the internal 3.2 cubic feet of space. We selected the EdgeStar KC1000SS for our comparison because it offers a compact footprint for home use. You should verify the exact weight including the 2.5 lb CO2 tank and other hardware on the manufacturer’s support page, as the total weight will increase when the unit is fully loaded with a pressurized keg. For proper cooling, ensure you leave enough clearance for rear and side ventilation to prevent the compressor from overheating in tight spaces.

What to Check Before Buying the EdgeStar KC1000SS

Before purchasing this craft brew kegerator—a refrigerated cabinet used to keep beer cold and dispense it from a tap—verify these specific spatial requirements:

• Confirm the door has enough clearance to swing fully open past 90 degrees in your intended location.
• Check the floor load capacity of your surface to ensure it can support the weight of the unit plus a full, pressurized keg.
• Measure the side and rear clearance needed for the internal circulation fan to exhaust heat effectively.
• Verify if your specific keg requires a homebrew conversion kit for ball lock use, as this unit is designed for 1/6 barrels or Cornelius kegs.

Comparing the EdgeStar KC1000SS to Other Kegerators

The EdgeStar KC1000SS is a compact option suited for homebrewers who need to store a single 1/6 barrel or Cornelius keg. If you require a higher volume for multiple kegs or need to accommodate larger 1/2 barrel containers, you should look at larger capacity models. Users who need a more modular setup might prefer a custom build consisting of a separate fridge and cooling unit, which offers different temperature stability than a standalone unit like this one. If you have a very specific installation space, ensure the 17.5″ width and 20.1″ depth do not conflict with your cabinetry or walkway requirements.

If you need a compact, freestanding cooling solution for a single keg and have a space that accommodates a 20.1″ depth, the EdgeStar KC1000SS is the appropriate choice.
