Last updated on Jan 17, 2019Hannah Herrera
Reach-in refrigerators and freezers store your ingredients and prepared food, making them essential for any foodservice operation. They run 24/7 and are the workhorses of any commercial kitchen. As such, it's critical to have an efficient and reliable unit. If you are just opening a restaurant or are looking to upgrade your refrigeration system, below are 7 reasons why the Avantco Refrigeration A and SS Series are dependable options.

Avantco SS reach-in refrigerators and freezers come with a durable, easy-to-clean stainless steel interior and exterior. Avantco’s A models also have a stainless steel exterior but with a painted aluminum interior, making them a more cost-effective option. When checking out the specs of other brands, you're likely to see that many of these companies use white-coated steel or plastic, which are less durable.
Stainless steel is a superior choice for kitchen applications, as it is non-porous, meaning it does not harbor germs and bacteria like other materials do. Aluminum is another excellent option due to its thermal conductivity advantages that expedite the cooling process in your refrigerator.
2. Digital Temperature Monitoring and Visibility
Digital temperature controls and a crisp, easy-to-read display allow you to precisely monitor and view your reach-in's interior temperature. Other models have less visible dials, making it difficult to monitor your refrigerator's temperature reliably. Plus, Avantco Refrigeration does the work for you, as their refrigerators and freezers are pre-set at food safe temperatures. Features like this can help you feel more confident when purchasing heavy equipment online.
3. Sliding Shelf Rail Design
Avantco SS reach-in refrigerators and freezers utilize heavy-duty slide rails that offer excellent durability. In addition, these sliding shelf rails are easy to adjust and allow you to completely slide the shelves in and out. Plus, their strategic spacing gives you the ability to store full-size pans of food. The Avantco SS reach-ins also have a bun pan rail accessory available, which makes it easy for bun pans to slide in for increased workflow and storage capability. For a more basic unit, the A series models come with epoxy-coated steel shelves and shelf clips for simple, cost-effective installation and storage.
4. Self-Closing and Stay-Open Lockable Doors
Your employees are in and out of the reach-in all day, making it all the more important to have a system that can maintain proper refrigeration during consistent use. Avantco reach-ins feature self-closing doors that automatically seal shut securely, which ensures that less cold air is released from your refrigerator and wasted. As a result of this feature, your business can conserve energy and ensure your food is held at the correct temperature.
To go along with the self-closing, the doors also have a stay-open feature. When opened past 90°, the doors will stay put, helping with the task of loading and unloading products into the unit. Additionally, standard door locks allow you to secure the reach-in's contents overnight to protect your valuable inventory.
5. High Quality Without the High Price Tag
Avantco SS reach-ins offer top-notch engineering at an affordable price. Every unit is ETL Sanitation Listed and ETL Safety Listed. Also, the sturdy casters (two of which have brakes) allow you to easily move the unit for cleaning or maintenance. In addition, a bottom-mounted compressor raises the height of the lower shelves for easy access. If the unit ever needs servicing, bottom-mounted compressors are also much easier for the tech to reach.
Avantco units ensure that your restaurant, dining hall, or market has reliable refrigeration solutions that don't cut into your business's bottom line. Every Avantco Refrigeration unit is backed by a 1-year parts and labor warranty. The compressor is covered for 5 years.
6. Breadth of Line
Avantco Refrigeration offers a variety of reach-in options, so you can find the perfect one for your kitchen workflow. With a variety of sizes along with models that have features such as a half door or glass door, Avantco is sure to have the proper solution according to your kitchen setup and refrigeration needs. Avantco Refrigeration offers a dynamic line that is designed to fit your unique workflow at a competitive price.
7. Affordable Price
If you're looking for a single-door reach-in, Avantco Refrigeration offers quality at the most competitive price. Choosing a model from the Avantco A series could save you hundreds of dollars in comparison to other refrigerators while receiving a product with the same features. For more advanced refrigeration, the Avantco SS models are available at an affordable price and offer unique features and benefits.
Finally, don't forget that on top of the lower purchase price, you're getting more standard features with an Avantco model than the competition. This allows you to put your extra capital into other equipment replacements or necessary upgrades.
