Great option for the amount of business that I have. Easy to move and with lots of space for small business. The best part is that the motor is on the bottom so you dont kill your back.

refrigerator fridge great door temperature need years easy far moreCustomer Reviews
That's already our second Avantco Refrigerator and we have one more Freezer, as of today we have never experienced any huge issues. Definitely worth buying!
This Solid Door Reach in Refrigerator, makes it easier to grab what you need without going into the walk-in Refrigerator all the time. It's very convenient.
We purchased this refrigerator 2 years ago and haven't had any trouble out of it. It is in a high volume restaurant and we are constantly opening and closing the doors. We are looking at purchasing a 2nd for our other location.
The refrigerator is working as expected, pretty sturdy. The main door is a little bit stiff and won't completely close by itself but overall a good product, so far so good.
I had this refrigerator for 3 years and 2 months and it STOPPED WORKING. The coolant ran out and I had to pay to have it refilled. It ran out within a few weeks due to a leak they can't find. The warranty ran out 2 months before it BROKE!!! I Do not recommend. I should be able to get more than 3 years out a commercial fridge.
Thank you for your review, Jeremy! We are sorry this Avantco A-23R-HC 29 inch Solid Door Reach-In Refrigerator has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!
Very disappointed. After 3 years of VERY light use - closed 15 months due to covid, so used less than 2 years, the evaporator went out there is also a leak in the tube cap. I’ve had two companies quote and it’s going to cost more than the unit originally cost me to fix it. At this point, I would consider that to be a “disposable” fridge. Not happy!
Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry you did not prefer this product. For recommendations, please contact our Customer Solutions team.
NEED HELP! I have had this refrigerator for 2 months. Working great. My only complaint is the time we are locked out after closing the door. I need to adjust the wait time & can not find info. on it.
Thank you for your review, Patricia! A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!
We purchased this refrigerator when we first opened four years ago. It is still working very well. The handle could be made better. It actually fell off and there is no way to fix it other than buying a brand new door.
We appreciate your review, Kimmi. Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about the handle.
Replaced the standard shelves with the in fridge bun rack which is perfect for our operation. Temperature fluctuates with the door open a lot more wildly when I would have expected.
It's been about a year since we've ordered this fridge. So far so good! it's been a champ for our little cafe - it gets really hot in our kitchen and this fridge has managed to stay cool and run quiet. Hope it keeps running for a long long time!
The refrigerator works for a year and half and then stopped working. Assume the 1 year warranty is because this is common. Wouldn't recommend purchasing this product if you expect it to work for long.
We appreciate your review, Randy. We wish this Avantco A-23R-HC 29 inch Solid Door Reach-In Refrigerator would have worked out for you. Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this.
We bought this fridge to go along side our other Advantco fridge. This fridge has performed well in a very hot environment. The door seals will need to be replaced every 6 months to a year... so plan on that accordingly.
This refrigerator has worked well for us so far! It was the perfect size to accommodate the extra need for cold storage. We have a 54 inch refrigerator in addition to this one. Would recommend.
With this refrigerator and the space it has it makes storing things with a large capacity at ease. The culinary committee loves the purchase that was made.
This unit required technician reprogramming. It was not holding temperature appropriately when initially received. It seems it was programmed with the old refrigerant settings applied to the controller.
Thank you for your review, Frank! We are sorry this Avantco A-23R-HC 29 inch Solid Door Reach-In Refrigerator has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!
Great Refrigerator. Overall reliable piece of equipment, holds everything to proper temperature, very easy to clean up, easy to organize the food . I would recommend this refrigerator
I've had this fridge right at a year now and this is a very good fridge at a great price. It cools down very quickly, it's very quiet, and it is very efficient. I would recommend this to anyone looking a for a good commercial fridge.
This is an awesome reach in refrigerator if you have small space area in the kitchen the temperature indicator in the outside helps a lot to find out the temperature inside the fridge
Small, compact and yet roomy inside. It fits everywhere, even the busiest of the kitchen. The compressor is not noisy at all, barely audible. We are really satisfied with our purchase.
So far so good so I'll give it five stars. It holds temperature well and has a clear thermometer on the outside so you know how your food is being stored.
We had a horrible first experience trying to get a used refrigerator in our shop and eventually ended up ordering this one. After figuring out the digital temperature controller (worth exploring; lots of features that I wouldn't have known about without some research and video-watching), this fridge has kept everything perfectly at our desired temperatures. No more throwing away milk a week after receiving it, or having to wait for it to thaw out. Worth every penny.
Been using this little ditty for a couple years now, and it's been great. If it keeps up, I'm not sure why you'd spend for more expensive brands.
About 4 months in, so far so good. Plug-in-Play. Only thing to keep in mind is that the internal pressure takes about 40 seconds to equalize every time the door is closed, effectively locking the door during that time. Therefor, if you plan on opening and closing the door very frequently, you might want to look into this issue.
For a single door fridge there really is still a lot of space. It is the perfect size for our small kitchen. Looks very sleek.
The Avantco Reach-In Refrigerator works absolutely amazing. It keeps the food incredibly fresh and fits perfectly where we needed it to and doesn't take up space at all.
I'm a busy guy who doesn't often write reviews, but Webstaurant deserves some recognition on this one. Our primary refrigeration for our food truck business was at the end of it's service life (not worth investing in) and had it's compressor give up the ghost right before a weekend of busy service. We ordered this fridge from Webstaurant Plus, and they shipped it from Maryland to NH the next morning at 8 am. The fridge was delivered that afternoon at 2:30. That was the standard shipping through Plus, no additional cost. A+++ for service! Oh, and we're happy with the fridge too. Everyone knows Avantco isn't high end, but it's awesome value for the money!
We have 2 one for storage and one for bread fermentation Great price great unit on wheels easy to clean and move We use their freezer too
Absolutely great product and really works perfect. Have it for almost 1 year now and still works like day one. For the price you can't go wrong.
Pretty nice fridge, lots of room inside. Ours is a bit noisy, and makes a weird bubbly sound when the air gets expelled after you close the door. Like the thermostat on the outside tho.
Thank you for your feedback, Jacob! If you have any concerns about your item please feel free to contact our Customer Solutions team!
Great Refrigerator, working in commercial environment with no issues so far. Holds temp, easy to clean, easy to move when needed. Really like the temperature reading on the outside of the door. Just long delivery
Great fridge for the price. It comes ready to go all you have to do is install the shelves and plug it in. Keeps good temp and fits in small spaces. We love it!
Don't buy this if you need to maintain a temp under 40. The thermostat is always slow updating the real temp inside and always is off by 4-10 degrees. I bought this to store croissants in before I cook in the morning and half they time they are almost proofed from being inside. Maybe it's a faulty thermostat or just crappy insulation. No clue.
We appreciate your feedback! We’re sorry this is defective. A Customer Solutions Representative will be contacting you soon.
This refrigerator is surprisingly spaces for the amount of space it takes up. Very durable shelves. We especially enjoyed that the shelves are easily adjustable. It comes ready to operate without any need for adjustments from the factory.
Great value, This is a nice looking Comm.refrigerator that’s very quiet. Employees were impressed and suggested that we get a matching freezer. I must say that the whole process of ordering this unit was a smooth and painless experience, The sales lady was very informative and walked me though the whole Process and the delivery company was great to work with and went the extra mile I didn’t order the white glove delivery service but I feel was if I did.
After ordering this refrigerator, we recieved super fast shipping with excellent service delivery. They hooked it right up for me then and there and it works great!
