Diamond Brand Refrigerated Display Cases?

Sometime front window panels have to be removed in a lot of locations to put equip in.

The best people to ask are independent repair people in your area. You want to know about reliability, cost of repair, and parts availability.

Took a peek at the website, but it didn't give me any specs or any information, but the factory is located in Laval, Quebec.

For now, you'll have to use your own eyes.

Firstly, how is the case constructed? On the website it appears to be an all-metal chasis, but I can't be sure. Metal is good. Particle board is crappy. Particle board and MDF do not bode well when combined with refrigeration and humidity issues. They also don't like to be moved around alot either. (think cheap Ikea furniture)

What type of refrigeration system? Gravity coil is lousy. This is the refrigeration coil mounted as high up as possible, and is based on the principle that cold air always flows down. This type of system is very cheap to build and is very prone to cold and warm spots throughout the case. The coil is also prone to leaking/dripping as well as icing up.


Most importantly, what is the warranty like? Standard is a year--bumper to bumper. Better is one year on everything and 2-5 years on the compressor. Lousy is anything under 1 year. This is probably one of the better ways to guage how well a product is made. If no one wants to warranty it for a year, it should scream "Caveat emporium" loud and clear.

How well can you get goods in and out of the case?

Is the glass single or double glazed? Double glazed will never fog up, single glazed will, and will also fog up when in direct contact with sunlight or under A/C vents.

Hope this helps.....
