⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chef Elena Martinez - Urban Bistro Café
"This open display counter cooler has transformed our breakfast and lunch service. We opted for the Advanced Model with modular compartments, and it’s been a game-changer for organizing our cold prep station. The air-cooling system keeps everything crisp, even during weekend rushes. Cleaning is a breeze thanks to the seamless stainless steel and glass surfaces. Temperature stays rock-solid between 2°C and 6°C all day."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Whitaker - Hilton Grand Buffet Operations
"We replaced two older salad bars with the Pro Model of this unit, and the difference is night and day. The mirror-finish steel and glass front elevate our buffet’s visual appeal, and the HACCP-ready certification gives our food safety team peace of mind. Even during peak brunch hours, the cooling recovers quickly after constant pan access. The customizable zones let us adjust for seasonal themes—last month we reconfigured for a Mediterranean spread with no issues."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Susan Park - Home Chef & Event Host
"I know this is designed for commercial use, but I bought the Base Model for my large backyard gatherings, and it’s been worth every penny. It fits perfectly on my covered patio, and I love how guests can see the salads and sides without everything warming up. Assembly was straightforward, and the 600L capacity handles a crowd of 30+ easily. Only downside? It’s a bit wider than expected—measure your space carefully!"Purchase Date: April 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rafael Jimenez - FreshSlice Deli
"We run a high-volume deli in a busy grocery store, and hygiene is non-negotiable. This unit’s NSF certification and anti-microbial coating make sanitizing fast and effective. The adjustable glass-covered compartments let us rotate offerings daily without cross-contamination. I’ve had zero issues with temperature consistency, even when the store AC struggles in summer. Our waste has dropped by nearly 20% since installation—freshness lasts longer."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Lisa Tran - Elegant Events Catering
"We use this as a mobile salad bar for weddings and corporate events. The stainless steel build holds up to transport and outdoor setups. We pair it with a generator-powered extension, and it maintains temperature for hours. I wish the wheels were included as standard—had to add them separately. But overall, the professional look and reliable cooling impress our clients every time."Purchase Date: March 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months

"Among open display coolers, the GN Pans model stands out for its balanced design between performance and usability. The modular compartment system is ideal for operators managing diverse menus, and the +30% cooling efficiency in the Pro Model is a real advantage in high-traffic environments. I recommend it for any establishment prioritizing food safety, presentation, and long-term durability."
Nina Patel - Hotel & Restaurant Interior Specialist
"In upscale dining and buffet design, aesthetics and function must coexist. This unit delivers both—its glass and mirror-finish steel option integrates seamlessly into premium spaces. I’ve specified it in three hotel renovations this year. The low noise level (42 dBA) ensures it doesn’t disrupt guest ambiance, a detail often overlooked in commercial refrigeration."
