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.
