So far it's a great fridge. The only difficulty that we had was getting it removed from the pallet. One of the bolts broke free from the fridge frame and required us to break the pallet to get the fridge free. If that bolt hadn't come loose, it would have taken 30-45 minutes to get this installed, since that happened it took a couple of hours. Now that it's installed and running, I'm very happy with my purchase, just wish that it had come with a blank option for the top light. Cheers!

This Refrigerator was exactly what we were looking for. It was priced fair, we are very happy with it. It was packed well and shipped as I was told.
We decided that we would make the switch to this brand of refrigerator for our merchandise and snack inside some of our stores that we manage. We could not be happier. Not only are they very cheap, but they are also a lot quieter than you would expect. There is not a lot of maintenance that you have to do with this refrigerator either. I am very pleased with them.
Purchased 2 units in 2020. Both units have had leak in condenser and have had to be refilled in 2021 and 2022. Units are not worth the money
Thank you for your review, Lisa! We are sorry this product has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!
A great display area. We sell flowers and it even smells nice on the inside. Keeps the flowers alive and hydrated. It’s nice and cooling.
Fridge died after 11 months from a leak in the evaporator. Since I ordered earlier than I needed because of COVID, the warranty is lapsed.
We appreciate your review, Mike. We wish this Avantco GDC-49-HC 53 inch Black Swing Glass Door Merchandiser Refrigerator with LED Lighting would have worked out for you. Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this.
