Customer Q&AAsk a Question

Does Avantco warrant this item for use in a food truck?
Avantco warrants new equipment sold to food truck customers to be operational for a period of 30 days from the date of delivery if installed and maintained correctly.
I haven’t heard of R-290, R-600a, R-513a, or R-448A refrigerant before. What is it?
R-290 (also known as high purity propane or CARE 40) and R-600a (also known as refrigerant grade Isobutane or CARE 10) are hydrocarbon refrigerants. R513a (also known as Opteon XP10) and R-448A (also known as Solstice N40) are HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) refrigerants. They are being used as an eco-friendly refrigerant by some manufacturers in response to the EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program. Read more about this program in our blog post on Refrigerant Regulations.
What if my Avantco cooler doesn’t seem to be getting cold enough throughout the cabinet?
Make sure that you are loading it properly, and not overloading it. This unit is designed for cans, bottles, and similar items that naturally enable good airflow within the cabinet. Overloading the cooler with cases and boxes will interrupt the airflow and negatively impact the unit’s performance.
Are there any temperature specifications to keep in mind when installing this glass door unit?
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.
Can this item fit through a standard height 80" doorway ?
Due to the height of this item, it may not be able to fit through a standard 80" tall doorway when standing upright. Please consider the best means of entry before purchasing, or measure your entryway to ensure that you will be able to bring your order inside if the item cannot be carried on its side.

This is a great fridge and the LED lighting makes it easy to check inventory in the evenings. The shelves are also easily adjustable and there’s a drain at the bottom that makes it easy to clean.

We just bought this fridge and it works great. It is way better priced than competing fridges and does the same job. Looks extremely slick.

I bought this last June and it's already stopped cooling. It's running, it's just not getting cool. I've had to unload all the products. Very disappointed.

Mary L. from Mayapple Marketplace on 03/09/2020

Thank you for your review, Mary! We are sorry this Avantco GDS-47-HC 53 inch Black Sliding Glass Door Merchandiser Refrigerator with LED Lighting has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

We purchased an Avantco GDS-47 about seven months ago. The refrigerator has turned out to be an excellent buy. It is durable, even though it is readily available for any customer to access. We have had to replace a few bulbs over the months, but the bulbs are both cheap and (more importantly) easily replaceable. Nothing is more annoying than spending an untold amount of time on a foreseeable repair. Avantco thought ahead on this unit, and made it so your average person can do maintenance in a timely manner. The price, durability, and accessibility of this unit make it a winner. 5 stars. I highly recommend.

Refrigerator has been working very quietly while keeping drinks cool and generating a ton of heat. They're also running in a pretty humid environment and aren't struggling at all. The windows do fog up sometimes, but it clears on its own. The only real concerns I have with this refrigerator is some screws and nuts were rolling around inside the frame of the machine and i found a few very loose screws. I doubt these things vibrated free during shipping and assume not the most care is put into these refrigerators during construction. I hope these things last at least 5 years. will update this post if things go south.

We had this for almost a year now. Stay cold so far so good. We like the look of it. We use it for fruits, milk water ect. For our business. Comes with shelves. Easy to clean, as you can see in the picture it still looks new after our first season of use.

Really cold. Good for storing fruits, vegetables, fish, drinks or any other food items that need to be stored at a cool temperature. Would recommend.

Ragene A. from Natural Ethics on 06/27/2019
         

This cooler holds A LOT of product. We use it as a beer cooler. The LED lighting is a nice touch. The doors close on their own which makes is it great when your hands are full. The digital temperature control helps ensure the temp is where it needs to be. We love the fact that it moves easily to clean behind and under.

Jennifer L. from The Barrel House on 06/05/2019
         

This is a great refrigerator and there is option on and off for LED lighting makes it easy to check inventory in the evenings without turn it on all day long. The shelves are also easily adjustable and there’s a drain at the bottom that makes it easy to clean. Can fit a lot of vegetables and fruit

Bin C. from Choose And Mix on 05/23/2019
         

Extremely resistant product. This refrigerator innovated adding led lights to the unit. The wheels are a plus when we think on cleaning the area around.

Edimar R. from Skyway The House Of Tea on 02/15/2019
         

We absolutely love it. For the money - it's a steal. We have been using our several months and it is high quality. Customers always mention how nice it is.

C S. from Sweet Escape Cake Company on 02/08/2019
         

Perfect size to hold drinks, food, and more. It comes with 8 shelves with plenty of space for your stock. Enjoyed the ease of opening the doors, we use this for a smoothie bar so its automatic closing is key!
