FAQ
- Reach-in refrigerators are upright, self-contained units meant for quick access and are commonly placed in kitchens or prep areas.
- Walk-in refrigerators provide bulk storage for larger operations but require separate cooling systems and more space.
If you need frequent access and quick retrieval, a reach-in is ideal. For long-term storage of bulk ingredients, a walk-in is the better choice.
Look for features that enhance efficiency, durability, and ease of use:
- Digital temperature controls for precise cooling
- Heavy-duty, adjustable shelves for flexible storage
- Self-closing doors to maintain temperature stability
- LED lighting for better visibility and energy efficiency
- Casters for mobility to make cleaning easier
Choosing the right features can reduce maintenance, save energy, and improve workflow.
Top-Mount Compressors:
- Keep debris and dust away from the cooling system
- More energy-efficient in cooler environments
Best for high-volume kitchens with frequent door openings
Bottom-Mount Compressors:
- Easier to clean and service
- Work better in hot environments since heat rises
- More accessible for loading and unloading items
Choosing between the two depends on your kitchen’s layout and ventilation.
