    We have had the 39 1/2" Solid Door Reach-In Freezer in use since November 2022. It stopped working May 2026. After being within freezer temp the evening before, this morning it was making a loud rattling noise and 36.9 degrees Fahrenheit. We keep it clean inside and out and it receives light use in our small shop. Webstaurant Customer Solutions said it's still within the 5-year compressor warranty period, so if that's the cause, we may be covered. We'll submit a claim and see. Otherwise, it's certainly priced to be replaced every 2-5 years, as has been the experience of other reviewers, compared to other brands of freezers that may have better quality parts and perhaps last longer. I will update my review with our warranty experience if it gives me the option.

    The freezer came to us not working. We imme got a hold of Webstaurant and wanted to exchange for one that works, and they won’t do that. They had us send it through the warranty process, and they wanted to send a technician out to fix a brand new freezer. They couldn’t find anybody to work on it, so here we sit with a freezer that doesn’t work, and Webstaurant won’t refund our money or exchange for one that works. Buyer beware!!!!

No, reach-in refrigerators are intended for keeping cold food chilled, not chilling hot food. If you are looking for a unit to quickly chill hot food, check out our Avantco Refrigeration blast chillers.
