How to choose a countertop merchandiser

Counter space: measure width, depth and height, and leave room around the unit for airflow.
Refrigerator or freezer: match the unit to what you sell; frozen desserts need a true freezer, not a cold refrigerator.
Capacity and shelves: check the cubic feet and shelf spacing against your bottles and packaging.
Visibility: glass on several sides and LED lighting help products sell themselves.
Power: most commercial countertop units run on a standard 115 V outlet.
