Avantco HPI-1812 Undercounter Half Size Insulated Heated Holding / Proofing Cabinet with Clear Door - 120V

BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY! This product is great... when it works...So far we have had to replace the power module twice within a year. So thankful we got the warranty because trends tell me we'll be needing it in the future. The product functions as promised, but for something that costs this much I would have expected it to last longer.

I bought this cabinet originally for proofing my dough a second rise, but now we use it for keeping our freshly cooked waffles warm for rush times and busy mornings. I can get it up to about 185 in 30-40 minutes and it will hold about that heat all day long. It will keep warm without further cooking our waffles. I can keep waffles warm and tasty in there for at least two hours, if not longer. I just haven't tried any longer yet. The controls are easy to use, the cabinet cleans inside and outside easily and if you want to wheel it around, it moves without problem. It is very light and not heavy at all. I can touch the outside on full heat without problem too. This site sells full size baking pans (18x26) and wire racks (16x24) that fit the slots on this cabinet perfectly. You Read More

I LOVE THIS PROOFER/HEATER.!! I USE IT FOR MAKING BREAD AND KEEPING FOODS WARM DURING EVENTS. I DEFINATELY WILL PURCHASING ANOTHER ONE IN THE FUTURE

Purchased this holding to hold our food item in between serving to the require temperature cook food is to be held. This has an extra humidity control the non insulated warmer does not. I purchased both warmer and this one does a better job at holding the temperature that it's set for; however, you have to keep watch on the temperature setting at the bottom and adjust occasionally temperature tend to rise and drop depending on the food you put it it along with how often it's open.

We were very excited about getting this proof box. We tried to use it 2 times and every time we tried to use it it would blow out the circuits. On one outlet it created a spark and fire shot out! Contacted the company with no help at all. We have bought a lot of products through this website and are very disappointed with their customer service. It’s a bummer to have to try to find a new company to order equipment from.

Bought this as my first proofer in my business, and opted for the cheapest full size proofer i could find, but was not disappointed. Its not insulated, but it still maintains its temperature well in my garage at freezing temps. No complaints yet at all.

This unit is a really good deal versus the typical name brands. The construction quality and operation have absolutely no noticeable difference. We plan on purchasing more of these in the future.

I purchased two of them and received them two weeks ago. I had only used them ONCE and one of the proofers kept on short circuiting. I moved it all around the commercial kitchen and it kept happening. For this price? This is ridiculous. Especially since you would have to pay a restocking fee fora return IF they grant it. I tried to return this, and I'm told to contact customer service. For this price and considering that it is a new product...this shouldn't be an issue. I even bought the extended warranty. When I tried to return one of the warranties, they automatically refunded me for both?? I still needed one for the one (that has yet to breakdown).

Absolute garbage. Arrived with a faulty heater box. Had to dismantle and return and set in the new one which lasted about 6 months. Second thing to go was the proof/ hold switch. Ordered a replacement, installed and then the on / off switch is shot. Have been using as a very expensive holding rack. After 2 years of frogging around with this thing I have decided to send it to the dump. Having purchased many advantco products and being dissatisfied every time I do believe I am through with anything advantco. Buyer beware. Webstaurant please do better.

Bought this assist with busy times in the restaurant. We used one day a week at the most, and not every week. It made it about a year and a half. It will not power up at all. Will probably cost as much as a new unit to place a service call.

This proofer work well for about 6 months before the water pan for hunodity stopped heating up. I purchased a second one and had the same issue within two months. Webrestaurant customer service has been great in helping me through this process. However, it's been so stressful relying on this item as majority of our product needs a proofer to have the best results.

This warmer is alight but it will break and if you go to parts on webstraunt they are all unavailable and webstraunt is the only place that sells the parts so once it breaks it must sit broken for months. Go with a different brand.

Could be a nicer product if the runners were wide enough to hold the pans. Some of the runners are but not all. Pan falls through on some then they get jammed. Causes a big mess when things on the pan spills into the cabinet. The design of this cabinet is not very well made. The runners have sharp corners so when placing pans into the cabinet, they will cut your hands up. This price for a heating cabinet is money not well spent for an inferior product.

We purchased this warming cabinet as an addition to our kitchen at the Post. Perfect size, fits in our cramped space perfectly. We use mainly for keeping large quantities of cooked food at proper temp prior to serving. Has saved us several times during large Veterans events. Thermostat has worked very well & easy to see at base of unit. Very handy to have wheels, unit rolls easily. Good unit & price was within our budget.

This proofer is a good size it holds temperature well as well as humidity. It can also be very Mobile on these wheels ours is mounted in a food truck so it doesn't move anywhere. 110v makes it nice you could plug it in pretty much anywhere.

Not recommended. I bought it for the price, but after using for 6 weeks, it went out. I can't not even power it up. I paid extra for insulated one but it doesn't have good insulation to keep my meat for longer period of time. I guess you get what you paid for.

This full size insulatated heated holding proofing cabinet is a great investment in any business are food truck. I purchased this one for my food truck. It keeps my extra food hot as I use what's on the steam table on the food truck.

I love how hot my food stays in here. We do lots of catering and we place all our trays in here as we complete prep and I feel like it’s hotter than when I put them in! Def a KEEPER. It has wheels and make it easy to clean underneath it!

Love this hot hot box! Small compact and not hot to the touch great for our mobile business. If your looking to keep product warm but cant do a full size.....here ya go!

So this is not the top of the line proofer. But I will say that we use it daily for proofing bread products first, then holding product for the steam tables during service. I have owned one that was twice the price but this one does a great job.
