    Good price, but whilst I would have recommended this 12 months, maybe even 6 months ago, I wouldnt anymore. Customer service is 'ok' but the way they run promotions is awful. Basically no sense of direction with what they're doing, running 'loyalty' schemes that then get superseded/made available for everyone at a drop of a hat. This seems to branch out into the kegs/selection as well. Put on a good keg, once, then it vanishes again never to return.

    The prices have always been reasonably high, it is what it is... luxury item, but yep they've gone up again (even with facebook group discounts, that have largely gone now). As mentioned above, the selection has dropped massively.. to the point I think they'll probably get rid of the niche beers you could get (easier/felt cheaper than ordering from bottle shops etc) and swap in more run of the mill beers you can get cheaper in a supermarket.

    If you are interested, take a look at the secondhand market as there's many appearing that are pretty new, but be prepared to be popped onto an emotional roller coaster

    What you fail to mention though, is that the bottle and cans and in UK pubs are UK brewed under license beers and cannot be compared in any way to the beer in the kegs.

    For example, I absolutely cannot drink the UK brewed Stella, it's horrible! in both the pub and in the cans.

    However on the PD, it's an excellent lager!

    What's the benefit of these? The point of a hand pump in a pub is speed and scale. If you're just drinking lager, it's going to give you lager like out of a can.

    Stuff in the cans are different beers, here in the UK we get shafted with Brewed under license beers. Lower ABV, and cheaper ingredients to the overseas counterparts. Only thing that is the same is the name.

    In fact, most beers in UK pubs, especially European lagers are brewed under license in the UK and not the same beer you would find abroad. Sad but true.-

    Be careful as the keg stock at the moment is woeful and prices have gone up again this week

    Yeah the selection is crap. Just looking at the prices and for ones that are in stock (taking Stella as an example) it's £10 more for 3 kegs than it was 18 months ago.

    Expensive novelty if I’m honest. Gets pricey if you like your beer. Brother and dad has one. £30 a keg with roughly 9-10 pints to a keg. If you like a pint or two a night maybe ok, but who has just a pint ? £3 a pint is too close to pub money for me. Each to their own I suppose.

    Just to add my 2 cents here. I’ve recently bought a keg of Vocation Life and Death. Now it was £41.90 on the website but I got 15% off, £2.30 in beer tokens and when the keg is done I get £5 back too. So that’s £28.31 for 6 litres or approx £2.57 a pint. And this is incredible IPA. It’s about £4.70 a litre from the supermarket if you buy cans. So in my eyes once you’re in the whole ecosystem and are returning kegs and using beertokens it’s awesome. I get about 11 pints in mine too.

    Buy yourself a decent pint glass with the etching in the bottom (or forget to hand one in at your local).
    Buy some decent lager like pint cans of Kronenbourg.
    Then every pint is like a proper pint and only about £1.60 a pint instead of over £4 with this and you also save £160 on the machine as well. Thank me later.

    I assume that's a typo, surely they mean 6L kegs, 3 days of beer?
    Or 3 hours for some

    These have turned into a joke with the keg pricing now, but there’s not really any decent alternatives except Pinter?

    Blade is far superior to the perfectdraft.

    This was great for its range of drinks not just lagers but recently it's range has been dreadful and way overpriced.

    I have both.

    I went to the big supermarkets in Wolverhampton, Sainsbury's, ASDA, even Aldi etc.
    None of them had any kegs in stock.
    I thought that's the norm, where did everyone get theirs from?

    By the way, bottles aren't too bad, I find them better than cans. (edited)

    Perfectdraft.com sell you kegs. But if you’re happy with bottles, then no need to get one.

    At £4 a pint I think this is for people that love beer. The pricing makes no sense. Its ludicrously expensive for having a drink at your home.

    Personally, i am sick of the slop we get fobbed off with over here.

    So many beers carry the name of famous brands but are a shadow of the originals.

    as an example, Leffe has now recently been lowered to 6% for UK market and it tastes nothing like the 6.6% version! They cut corners, and the people of the UK seem fine with that.

    On sunny evenings, nice to have a real pint as it was intended.

    Most pubs in my area charge well over £5 for a pint of UK brewed swill, I would rather stay home and have a decent pint rather then be mugged with some cheap imitation. I usually have a bottle of water if i go to the pub these days.

    People complaining about the prices is probably a contributing reason to why we get the cheap rubbish in the UK (edited)

    These have been priced out the game unfortunately! Pre covid these things were worth the money but the kegs on all these machines now are expensive
    Jace_Phoenix's avatar
    Jace_Phoenix
    Not true, the keg shortage at the moment on the PD disproves this. Spring/Summer months, kegs sell out quick.

    Everything has gone up in price. Even beer in the supermarket, and not only that they are lowering ABV's and cheaping out on ingredients in addition to increasing the price.

    Remember the beers on this machine are all brewed in their respective countries and imported. Of course it's going to be more expensive than beer brewed in the UK under license. (edited)

    I've got one and id say they are worth it for.... Special occasions.

    Not a daily driver for beer

    These things are designed to allow smaller restaurants/cafes to offer a draught beer where they don't have enough turnover to get through a 'proper' keg size. So they are selling beer at pub prices - if people want to have these at home then be prepared to pay more for a slightly better beer offering, or just buy a slab of cans for a cheaper option.

    The only time I buy kegs is when Discount Dragon has these machines with the Budvar in them for £99 and then I make a new account to get an offer lol. That way I can drink the keg and sell the machine and not lose any money. However seeing the price of all these kegs when they're not on offer, just not worth it. I will say though and I'm not an expert so I dunno why, but it does taste better coming out of one of these than just a can.
    Jace_Phoenix's avatar
    Jace_Phoenix
    The reason it tastes better is mainly because the beer is from the originating country and imported. Instead of being brewed, canned and bottled here in the UK. They also lower ABV when they do that, which means they brew them differently, which in turn affects the taste of the beer.

    It's all one big cost cutting exercise

    I’d avoid buying now the customer service is terrible and the pricing is worse

    Where are people getting £4 a pint from?! Don’t forget you get £5 back on a keg return, beertokens for ordering (about £3.50 per order) and they currently have 15% off. Working it down to less then £2.40 a pint

    These are dead in the water now. Kegs are too expensive

    They can make the device itself free for all I care, the kegs still cost nearly as much as going to the pub and aren't as good. For parties you're better off just buying a couple budweiser or warsteiner mini kegs from home bargains (which happen to be bigger than the perfect draft ones lol) for like £10.

    Hi there - the comments for this don't sound great does anyone else have any recommendations for a decent draft machine for home? (I know there are a few out there and all the articles I've read seem to say perfect draft is good but would be good to hear some opinions !)

    Cheers !

    Maybe form your own opinion and don’t go judging what you buy entirely from a money saving site. Half of the people commenting don’t have the machine, know what it tastes like or know about the constant deals you get on kegs. Use trust pilot or Feefo if you want a comment from people who use it.
