This gets more use as a dump station than a warmer in my kitchen. It holds a huge amount of fries at once and will easily hold the contents of a 17" fryer basket. The longest our fries are held after coming out of the fryer is no more than 3-4 minutes. The warmer keeps the fries hot until served. A solid piece of equipment for your kitchen. Overall, I would purchase this again if needed. I use

This unit is miles above any bulb unit you'll ever own. We had one of the twin bulbs, and although they are good, they don't last as long or put out the same amount of heat.

This warmer does a great job holding my fried products for a few minutes at a time. It throws some pretty good heat, and it has a separate on-off switch for the heat lamp and the light

I’ve had this for about a year now, and it does the job great for when you get busy and need to hold some tots/fries, etc. Perfect for a medium volume eatery like ours.

I love this. It gets warm fast and keeps everything at a nice temperature. Some things that you don’t want dried out should be covered. I used it for pretzels, popcorn and breakfast. I thought it was going be small but it’s a perfect size for my house.

Avantco FFDS-1 Freestanding Infrared French Fry Warmer / Dump Station - 1000W, 120V, is working great so far! It had a little assembly required, but was very easy to put together and seems sturdy now. It came with a 2" deep base pan, I liked that I didn't have to purchase that separately!

What a great value. We added this to our restaurant and it is a huge help keeping things hot so all of the food goes out hot together. Has to be assembled but not hard if you have a drill.

We have been using this for well over two years to keep the fries hot. Never had an issue. No bulbs to burn out. Easy to put together. Definitely prefer this to the inexpensive heat lamps with bulbs.

Food warming makes it nice to not waste food. I can now prolong the life of my fries for a bit longer. Increasing hold times are important for food waste.

This warmer has lasted longer than previous ones. The flat heating element works much better than the hanging bulb. It allows for better eyesight of the product and more space to work around.

Great for use in the back-of-the house. The sturdy design gives it great stability during those busy lunch and dinner rushes. Keeps food very hot during service as well as well lit from the bright light. Light enough to move around during cleaning times and easy to clean.
