    Sleek, clean and holds set temperature well

    This commercial refrigerator is replacing a top of the line True brand commercial refrigerator that was too expensive to repair. So far we've been impressed with the look and function of the Empura refrigerator. The temperature is easy to see (no need for additional thermometers unless you want them) and is easy to set. I think our only concern might be how long the led light strips will continue working since you can't replace individual bulbs.

    Excellent Product, Even Better Service!

    The Merchandiser Refrigerator was a great buy, but what truly set the purchase apart was the outstanding customer service from RestaurantSupply.com and Empura. They went above and beyond to make sure we were completely satisfied with our purchase.

A tall, stainless steel commercial freezer with a single door, digital display, and vented grille at the bottom sits on four caster wheels for mobility. The Empura brand name is visible at the top of this Reach-In Freezer.
