How to judge a used commercial refrigeration deal
When buying a used commercial cooler, freezer, or reach-in, check the compressor age and run it before you pay — listen for short-cycling and feel that it holds temp. Inspect the door gaskets (cheap to replace, but a tell of neglect) and look for interior rust or standing water. NSF certification matters if a health inspector will see it.
