    We received the freezer in July 2023 and it worked great. We purchased it because of the cost as we are a nonprofit that provides food to our community. In June 2025, the freezer started making a high pitched noise. We had the freezer serviced and were told it needed a new top fan motor. While waiting for the part the freezer stopped working altogether and we lost all our meat. They came today 7/1/2025 to replace the top fan motor and when the freezer started again, it started making a different noise. We cannot run the freezer because the bottom fan motor needs to be replaced. Now the cost to repair is almost as much as what we paid. We will never purchase this brand again.

    I’ve had this freezer for less than a year. Tonight we came in after hours and noticed an electrical burning smell in our lobby. After having the fire department come out due to concerns of not being able to locate the source, it was determined to be this freezer. Stay away from this freezer, we should have been cautious after reading the poor reviews but needed something budget friendly. Prior to this issue, we also noticed moisture building inside the glass forts that we are unable to remove. Horrible purchase, BUYER BEWARE!

    10 months before it broke down with a loud wine and rumble. Trust the reviews, this is a fancy looking garbage bin.

I got one freezer the 53" one and it came damaged and makes an annoying and irritating noise when it kicks in, got nothing but runaround from the webrestaurant to the kitchen warranty guys, who is suppose to look out for the warranty but they bailed on me with zero response.

This unit has a maximum ambient temperature rating of 90 degrees Fahrenheit. However, high humidity environments may cause excessive condensation and ice accumulation in the unit and on its doors.
