A restaurant buyer installs the cheap home unit you sold — and it dies in 3 months under continuous duty. You refund it, and lose the account.
Home units are rated for 1-2 hours/day. Commercial kitchens run 8-12. Same label, completely different life. A true commercial-grade unit means a continuous-duty rating, an IGBT with thermal margin, dual cooling, reinforced glass and a metal housing — and a warranty that covers commercial use instead of hiding behind "home use only" fine print.
Match the grade to the buyer: home resellers get home-grade; foodservice gets commercial. Right grade = fewer returns, real reorder.
