For entrepreneurs and corporate procurement personnel, finding a supplier with affordable prices while ensuring equipment performance is crucial. Currently, there are many suppliers in the market, with significant price differences.
Mainstream domestic brand suppliers: Haier, cooluma, Xingxing Cold Chain, Panasonic, Siemens, Casarte, TCL, Nenwell.
As a comprehensive home appliance giant, Haier offers a full range of commercial display cabinets, refrigerators, freezers, etc. The price of a single unit mostly ranges from $500 to $5200. The brand has more than 5,000 service outlets in China, with a fast after-sales response speed, making it suitable for medium-sized catering enterprises that have high requirements for equipment stability.
Midea commercial refrigerators focus on energy-saving features, and their products consume about 15% less electricity than the industry average. The price of the mini display cabinets launched by the brand for small convenience stores is only $300-$500, which is more friendly to start-up businesses. In recent years, through e-commerce channels, circulation costs have been significantly reduced, and the online direct sales price is 8%-12% lower than that of offline dealers.
The price of Xingxing Cold Chain series ranges from $500 to $5000, which is about 40% lower than similar imported products. The brand has a dense dealer network in second and third-tier cities, and the distribution and installation costs in county-level cities are low, making it suitable for the sinking market layout of chain catering.
Price system in the high-end market
Siemens commercial refrigerators are known for precise temperature control. The temperature fluctuation of embedded refrigerators can be controlled within ±0.5℃, making them suitable for high-end western restaurants. The price of a single unit is $1200-$1500. It adopts an agency sales model, and the pricing differences among dealers in different regions can reach 10%-15%. Prices in first-tier cities are relatively favorable due to fierce competition.
Panasonic suppliers have the advantage of silent design, with operating noise as low as 42 decibels, suitable for cafes that need a quiet environment. Its product price range is $857-$2000. Through the improvement of localization rate (the localization rate of core components reaches 70%), the price has decreased by about 20% compared with 5 years ago.
The commercial display cabinets under cooluma, mainly cake cabinets with a refrigeration temperature of 2~8℃, have a single unit price of $300 – $700, mainly for supermarkets and the baking industry. The brand adopts a direct sales model. In addition, there are ice cream cabinets at various price points, with arc-shaped designs, featuring Italian, American and other styles.
Practical strategies to reduce procurement costs
After learning about the suppliers, bulk purchasing is an effective way to get low prices. Most suppliers offer a 8%-15% discount to customers who purchase more than 5 units at a time. Chain enterprises can further lower the price through centralized procurement.
Paying attention to promotion nodes can save considerable costs. Special-priced models are launched at refrigeration equipment exhibitions in March every year, Singapore exhibitions, Mexico exhibitions, etc., with a price reduction of up to 10%-20%. The reason for the low price is mainly to expand the brand’s influence.
Choosing the right payment method can also reduce actual expenses. Most suppliers offer a 3%-5% discount for full payment, while installment payments usually require additional interest (annual interest rate is about 6%-8%). For enterprises with tight capital turnover, they can choose to purchase in the off-season (March-April and September-October each year). At this time, suppliers are more likely to negotiate payment terms and prices to improve performance.
The energy consumption cost of the equipment should be taken into comprehensive consideration. Although the purchase price of energy-saving refrigerators may be 10%-20% higher, long-term use can save a lot of electricity bills. Calculated based on 12 hours of operation per day, a first-class energy efficiency commercial refrigerator can save about 800-1500 yuan in electricity bills per year compared with a third-class energy efficiency product, and the price difference can be recovered in 2-3 years.
Considerations of quality and service behind the price
Excessively low prices are often accompanied by risks. Refrigeration equipment may have problems such as false marking of compressor power and insufficient thickness of the insulation layer. Although the purchase price is 10%-20% lower, the service life may be shortened by more than half. It is recommended to choose equipment that has passed 3C or CE certification.
The hidden cost of after-sales service cannot be ignored. Some suppliers offer low quotations, but high travel expenses are required for on-site maintenance (especially in remote areas). Before purchasing, the after-sales service terms should be clarified, such as the free warranty period and whether a backup machine is provided.
Overall, there is no absolutely “cheapest” commercial refrigerator supplier, only the most suitable choice for one’s own needs. Small businesses can give priority to basic models of domestic mainstream brands or cost-effective emerging brands; medium and large enterprises can obtain preferential prices from brand suppliers through bulk purchasing; for scenarios with special requirements for equipment (such as ultra-low temperature, silent operation), it is necessary to compare prices under the premise of giving priority to performance.
