STAY FAR AWAY !!! Worse than a piece of trash. Was delivered Dead on Arrival. Was referred to the "warranty department" who was supposed to get someone to come work on it. They never returned my call, and when I called them back, they finally got someone to come out. After having a non-working, yet NEW piece of equipment sitting in the middle of my floor for 4 days, the tech came out and said yep, we need to order a part for it, and that will probably take about 2 weeks. So, 2 weeks and 4 days to get a NEW piece of equipment to be able to work, and that's assuming it will work then. Webstaurant says to contact the warranty department, the warranty department says "we didn't sell the equipment to you", it's not their fault that the warranty is ONLY repair, not replace and doesn't care. We have purchased from Webstaurant for YEARS, but this is probably going to end this relationship.

I have used this unit since April of 2021. The unit hit 175 degrees inside about 1 year and one month after the warranty period. Thankfully they said someone screwed up it ended up being covered. One week later they had to come back and replace the control board. Less than 5 months later my unit no longer works anymore so 1.8 months is the useable life of these. I guess this is why this item is listed as one of the units with only a one year parts and labor warranty. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PEICE OF GARBAGE. I now have to purchase another unit after less than 2 years,,,

I’d like to leave zero stars. This base is the most unreliable piece of equipment I’ve ever purchased. After 2 + years of using, maybe 26 hours a week we need to replace the cooling coil. This replacement will cost as much as the original purchase. You get what you pay for…do NOT BUY.

Almost blew up our kitchen! We ordered this unit 2 years ago (at twice the current price) and last week it blew up. The refrigerant (propane) leaked out of the unit and exploded. Not a good idea to put a unit that uses R290 under a grill where open flames are present.

We appreciate your review, Donald. Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this. We do want to assure you that these units are designed with sealed refrigeration systems with the intent of having cooking equipment placed on top.

Total junk. We've had nothing but problems with this unit over the last 4 years that we've had it. All under very normal restaurant usage. Pans don't fit correctly in the drawers. Drawers don't stay closed. Temperature probe fell apart. Gaskets have to replaced way too often. Doesn't hold temperature throughout the whole unit.

excellent addition to our kitchen it is wide enough to hold 72 total inches of equipment. Keeps all our food supplies cold and fresh.. only issue is getting the right 1/3 pans to fit the drawers.

We had poor communication with the company delivering the item. I called them a number of times. They had my phone number. They still did not call and let me know the delivery time. The unit was unloaded in our parking lot. I didn't know it was there. Better communication with third party freight companies would be something I hope you can work on.

It looks nice, but the drawers are about as strong as aluminum foil. Very flimsy. All 4 drawers had to be welded and screwed back together after about 6 months. Its just very very cheap and fragile.
