Interior LED lighting on the right side also works to illuminate and further merchandise your products.

Attractive and Durable

Designed with sharp looks and usability in mind, this unit is the perfect display for your products with its sleek white finish and a lighted top graphics area. And, since the housing is made from black coated steel, you can be sure that it will provide superior durability.

Don't waste your money! They look great at first but product has major design flaws. Door do not seal creating constant condensation on the glass making it have to be cleaned multiple times per day to even see the products side. Even called under warranty and they sent new doors that are worse than the ones it came with.

Just bought this cooler in June 2024. Unfortunately replaced a 15 year old True cooler that still worked. It almost seems like this cooler has no seals on the doors. The doors flop back and forth almost an inch. This leads to the unit producing GALLONS of condensation per day. The condensation is over flowing into the floor. Also, you cannot see into the cooler due to the doors always being 100% covered in condensation. Absolutely unmanageable and not normal or acceptable.

Work good for about a year, and right when the warranty ends the fridge isn't holding temp anymore, and there is rust coming from where the fan is so likely a leak in the evaporator.. Stay far away from purchasing anything Avantco.

We have had this fridge for about a year now, and it has kept very constant temperature in the 33-38 range, and we love the sliding self-closing doors. It is very sweaty and during humid months needs to be wiped down quite often, and the drip pan removed from behind its cover, which is screwed on in a very inconvenient way. The health department recently came to issue a transitional permit as we have changed owners. They said this refrigerator is not designed to store foods that we have prepared in our kitchen, and can only hold commercially packaged items. I have seen nowhere in the manufacturer's materials where this is explicitly stated, as "pre-packaged" to me would mean any item that is packaged to be sold, not just items that were prepared off premises. I would love for Avantco to reach out to me to clarify!

We purchased an Avantco GDS-47 about seven months ago. The refrigerator has turned out to be an excellent buy. It is durable, even though it is readily available for any customer to access. We have had to replace a few bulbs over the months, but the bulbs are both cheap and (more importantly) easily replaceable. Nothing is more annoying than spending an untold amount of time on a foreseeable repair. Avantco thought ahead on this unit, and made it so your average person can do maintenance in a timely manner. The price, durability, and accessibility of this unit make it a winner. 5 stars. I highly recommend.

Refrigerator has been working very quietly while keeping drinks cool and generating a ton of heat. They're also running in a pretty humid environment and aren't struggling at all. The windows do fog up sometimes, but it clears on its own. The only real concerns I have with this refrigerator is some screws and nuts were rolling around inside the frame of the machine and i found a few very loose screws. I doubt these things vibrated free during shipping and assume not the most care is put into these refrigerators during construction. I hope these things last at least 5 years. will update this post if things go south.

This is a good fridge for the price. Doesnt keep the product very very cold as during our lunch rush we open the door multiple times, the temperature will increase to mid 40's, low 50s. Only bad experience was when making a claim that our motor gave out only a couple of months after we recieved it. The company that came out for the service call tried to bill us and we had to spend lots of time trying to explain to them that we weren't the ones paying.

This cooler holds A LOT of product. We use it as a beer cooler. The LED lighting is a nice touch. The doors close on their own which makes is it great when your hands are full. The digital temperature control helps ensure the temp is where it needs to be. We love the fact that it moves easily to clean behind and under.
