Get a second-hand refrigerator or a new one?
Buying a second-hand refrigerator will definitely save some money, but there are a few things to consider before buying a second-hand refrigerator. It is important to check the compressor of the equipment, because all the heavy work needs to be done by the compressor. If the compressor is damaged, the compressor needs to be replaced, which will cost more than buying a new refrigerator. Therefore, it is best to buy new equipment, as new equipment comes with warranty and maintenance services, albeit much more expensive than using older equipment.Another advantage is that the new refrigerator is more energy efficient.

Choice of ideal capacity:
These glass door display refrigerators are sized in cubic meters, and capacity requirements vary based on the type of product you plan to display. Before choosing a refrigerator, you need to be very clear about how much food you need to store at one time, because too much inventory can affect the efficiency of your equipment.

If the capacity is larger than the device requires, it will eventually look as if you have run out of product; if the capacity is less than the required capacity, you will end up with excess inventory. Neither case will leave a good impression on the customer.

Know the exact size:
There are many display refrigerators in different designs on the market, before you start looking for a supermarket display refrigerator that fits your location. The first thing to do is to measure the size of the space available on the device, and the width and height of that place should be measured correctly. Second, the type of door needs to be considered, because if the display refrigerator is an upright display refrigerator and has a hinged door, it will require more space to open. If the device has a sliding door, you can save even more space. Both external and internal dimensions should be considered because two units with the same external dimensions may have different capacities depending on their internal dimensions.
