    Condensation Issue Around Doors

    We recently installed the Empura merchandiser refrigerator in our taproom and overall like the unit, but we have noticed excessive condensation forming around the doors. Our other Empura refrigerator does not have this issue, so we are working through it and sharing photos for support. Aside from the condensation, the refrigerator itself looks great and fits well in our space.

    Perfect Cooler for Our Food Shelf

    It allows our clients to clearly see the food inside because of the double glass sliding doors. The doors are easy to open and close and stay open when needed. We also like the option to control the interior lighting, and the temperature display is positioned where everyone can easily see it. The size of the cooler is perfect for our everyday needs and has been a great addition to our food shelf.

    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.

The Empura Refrigeration stainless steel commercial refrigerator features two doors, ventilation slots on the lower left, a digital display, and stands on four wheels for mobility. The flat countertop surface makes it ideal as a back bar cooler in busy settings.
