Anyone running Avantco units daily in a busy kitchen?

Running refrigeration non-stop in a kitchen seems like one of those things you don’t think about until something feels off, especially during peak hours. Been looking into Avantco units and trying to understand how they actually hold up when opened constantly, loaded unevenly, and pushed a bit harder than ideal conditions. Curious if anyone here has used them long enough to notice patterns in performance, like temperature stability or noise changes over time. What signs usually tell you everything is working exactly as it should without needing constant checks?

Our prep fridge at work started acting weird right before a busy weekend, which is pretty much the worst timing for that kind of mess. Nobody had patience for sales talk. We just needed to know what usually goes wrong, how long fixes take, and whether replacement parts turn into a whole headache. That’s why comments tied to avantco refrigeration are the ones people actually pay attention to. When someone explains how the unit held up in a real kitchen, how service went, or whether the cooling stayed consistent during long shifts, that tells a lot more than a polished product page ever will.
