They've traded repairability for cost, which was a good trade.
Such a good trade that they publish mean time before breakdown figures, right? And please don't pretend that the only alternative to a fridge with a more durable compressor is one that costs $10k+ for restaurants. My fridge was a reasonably priced consumer model, and has been functional for about 10 years now without any maintenance, so clearly its possible to build one for under $10k and without requiring regular maintenance. It's just hard to distinguish those models for ones that will break after 2 years.
