The commercial freezers, sandwich prep table and pizza prep tables are manufactured with the highest form of quality.

Well getting a service tech to come out with the correct parts to fix your unit can be a real challenge.
Used Pizza Prep Table
Buying a used refrigerator, freezer, sandwich prep table or pizza prep table might be the biggest risk you can take. The condenser and evaporator coils on refrigeration units will build-up dust and grease. Without weekly routine maintenance, you’ll likely end up with a broken piece of equipment.
Used Commercial Freezer
Quite often the availability of service for used equipment is not up to par for the service you would receive for a new unit purchased under warranty. The minimum cost for a new compressor is $500 and that does not include your labor costs. The new and not used freezer, sandwich prep table or pizza prep tables offered by the restaurant warehouse are covered under its two year parts and labor warranty. Plus the units compressor come with an additional three years after the two year parts and labor warranty.
Used Restaurant Charbroiler Grill
Most used gas powered restaurant equipment are manufactured with the highest form of integrity. They are built to have a longer life of abuse and usage compared to a used refrigerator and freezer. Another issue with many used gas powered cooking equipment is the added bells and whistles and other various electrical components. Remember the extras always create possible repairs in the future.
Used Deep Fryer
A used 40 lb deep fryer can run between $500 to $1500 for a used pitco or frymaster gas fryer. Compared to a new Atosa deep fryer which sells for $778 with free freight. One of the biggest problems with used deep fryers is the cracked steel oil drum. This is caused by overheating a partially or empty fryer tank. Granted the tank is replaceable, but you will be spending more to replace the tank then it costs to buy a new deep fryer. Used electric deep fryers will need at some point will need to be rewired or have the cabinet or heating element replaced this alone costs as much as a new deep fryer. Atosa Deep Fryers tanks come with a five year parts and labor warranty.
Used Restaurant Griddles
Most sellers of used griddles, used charbroilers, and used ovens do nothing more than use some carbon cleaner to remove years of accumulated grease and maybe a wire brush to buff out the steel after it has been bricked. You will pay premium for any used unit that has been serviced by a trained technician. Used gas powered deep fryers, griddles, charbroilers, and ovens carry less risk than electric powered charbroilers, and ovens. Used griddles, charbroilers, ranges, and ovens are a safer buy compared to used ice machines and used refrigerators and freezers.
Used Restaurant Supply Smart Buys
Have you considered buying used restaurant supplies that has smallwares and no mechanical parts? You can save money on used dining tables and chairs. Just make sure that the restaurant supplies are rated for food service, screws and hardware were secure on them. Again, you probably should check that all your dining room equipment screws are secure every three months. Other non-mechanical items that you can save you money and give you years of trouble free service are the following: equipment stand, utility carts, storage bins, dunnage racks, wire shelves, micro wave shelves, pot racks, pans, stainless steel hand sinks with rounded corners, and stainless steel worktables that are no badly oxidized or rusted.
Used Small Wares and Kitchen Supplies
another money saver is buying either used or slightly small wares steam table pans pots kettles cooking utensils dishware can be bought on the cheap and never break many restaurants cringe at the thought of mixed and matched tableware sizes and patterns, but I always find the eclectic mix to be a refreshing change again it only breaks if you drop it.
Energy Star Rebate.
In conclusion running a restaurant isn’t cheap. It takes a lot of energy to keep the place going. Used restaurant equipment might be a cheaper purchase, but it’s not built by today’s energy-saving standards. That energy conservation saves you a great deal more over time, especially when it comes to refrigeration equipment which can be most taxing on energy. Plus, you won’t need to replace new kitchen equipment for many years. You can save up to $350 per unit, as most new Atosa units qualify for a Energy Star Rebate.
Restaurant Food Safety
Another thing to think about is how well used restaurant equipment was maintained. If there is buildup in the dishwasher lines from lime and grime, or the previous owners were not sanitary with refrigeration and cooling units, is that really the chance you want to take with your customers? Nothing will hurt a restaurant faster than an unsanitary review from the health department.
Restaurant Equipment Warranty
When buying new restaurant equipment, you’ll always get a warranty on the product. With used restaurant equipment, you might not be so lucky, especially if you’re buying it from someone selling it on the sidelines. If it breaks within a week, you’re out of luck. New restaurant equipment costs more than used restaurant equipment, but it works out cheaper in the long run because you don’t have added expenses of repairs thanks to it being out of warranty or damage that you didn’t think to look for when you bought it. Buy it new the first time and you’ll be up and running efficiently from day one.
