Avantco ADC-12-HC 71" Customizable Ice Cream Dipping Cabinet

The thing looks sharp, and keeps the ice cream cold, but that’s where my compliments on this profoundly stupid design end. This fridge is designed with three trays, each of which holds four tubs of ice cream suspended above the bottom of the freezer with room for tubs below. Okay, so one of your 12 tubs up top is emptied, and it’s time to cycle in a fresh one for below. Your first option is to grab the tray by the tiny little rim, and lift all the three remaining tubs within it out of the freezer. Your second option is to remove all the tubs from the tray, so the tray is light and easy to lift. The trays when full are heavy and awkward, and when empty they’re still awkward. They have to be removed at a certain and specific angle, tilting them just right between the top glass Read More

DONT THINK ABOUT IT, its worth every dollar, most of the dipping cabinets are expensive and this one is well made and affordable, I'm very happy with the product.

I’ll start with the positive- the dipping cabinet is sharp, keeps the ice cream cold, but that’s where the positive ends on this awkward, stupid design.

I purchased the Avantco ADC-12-HC for my ice cream shop, hoping for reliable performance, but my experience has been mixed after several months of use. While the unit has some strengths, several issues have made it less than ideal for our needs. The seals on the sliding glass doors are a significant weak point. They wear out quickly and feel very fragile, especially during routine cleaning and maintenance. I’ve already noticed tears forming in the seals, which is concerning for maintaining proper temperature and hygiene. Replacing them feels like it will be a recurring hassle. Storage is another major drawback. We use standard 3-gallon tubs, but accessing the storage compartment is extremely awkward. You have to remove at least four tubs to get to the stored ones, which slows down service and is frustrating during busy hours. The design doesn’t seem optimized for practical use in a high-volume setting. Cooling performance is inconsistent Read More

Sliding doors are very poorly made. Seams are in the corners of the doors and within 3 months the seams are already coming apart and the seals are coming out. Very disappointed in the door design and very disappointed with this purchase!

Been using this for a year and no issues at all. Only wish they would include some sort of option for covering the glass, but no big deal.
