The only downside is they are a little louder and use a bit more power because they’re meant to be opened 100 times a day and cool down food really fast (for safety). You also have to measure your space because these come in a lot of shapes and sizes compared to residential models.
When I needed a new fridge I went with a “garage” model for similar reasons. It’s meant as a second fridge people keep in their garage, so it doesn’t have any extras. Not even an ice maker, which was fine for me since those commonly fail.
Holy shit, for that much money you can get a commercial grade refrigerator that’s built like a tank and has none of this crap.
Have a link to those fridges?
Something like this maybe? https://www.katom.com/338-C2RHC.html This one is massive, you could get a smaller one and a chest freezer and still be at or under $3500. Maybe something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085489JZ2
