Shopping for a Hurakan review before you equip a new line or replace a tired cooler? Short answer: Hurakan, sold under the Hurakan by Equip.me name, is a value focused commercial kitchen brand that covers refrigeration, prep tables and gas cooking at prices well below many legacy brands. Many of its listings show ETL safety marks, and several refrigeration listings add ETL Sanitation. The trade off is thinner documentation: our listings do not publish warranty terms, and some descriptions are short. This review is based on the product data on the Hurakan listings we carry, not on long term testing in our own kitchen.
What Hurakan is and what it makes
Hurakan equipment appears on our site as “Hurakan” or “Hurakan by Equip.me,” and both names point to the same line. We currently carry more than 75 Hurakan listings, which you can browse on our Hurakan brand page. The catalog falls into four groups:
- Cold storage: reach-in refrigerators and freezers, undercounter units, chef bases and back bar coolers.
- Prep tables: sandwich and salad tables, Mega Top tables and pizza prep tables.
- Merchandisers: glass door refrigerators, freezer displays and refrigerated bakery cases.
- Gas cooking: heavy duty ranges, countertop griddles, charbroilers, hot plates, stock pot ranges and floor fryers.
That breadth is the main reason buyers look at the brand. A small restaurant, food truck commissary or cafe can outfit most of a line from one family of equipment, which keeps finishes consistent and simplifies ordering.
Hurakan prep table and refrigeration lineup
Refrigeration is where Hurakan listings carry the most detail. Here is what our listings state for several popular models.
| Model (our listing) | Key specs listed | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 27 in undercounter refrigerator | 6.3 cu ft, 33 to 41 F, stainless interior and exterior, ETL and ETL Sanitation listed | $1,039 |
| 60 in sandwich prep table | 15 cu ft, holds (16) 1/6 size pans, 33 to 41 F, 2 shelves | $1,891 |
| Megatop 60 in prep table | 24 pan top, 16.6 cu ft, 33 to 41 F, ETL listed | $2,119 |
| 60 in two drawer chef base | 12.7 cu ft, 1.75 in stainless top, automatic defrost, ETLus and ETL Sanitation | $2,217 |
| One section reach-in refrigerator | 19 cu ft, stainless inside and out, electronic control, 3 shelves | $1,355 |
| 81 in 3 section merchandiser | 55.7 cu ft, 32 to 44.6 F, R-290 refrigerant, 5/8 HP compressor, locking doors | $2,828 |
Two things stand out. First, the prep tables and undercounter units list the 33 to 41 F holding range that cold holding rules are built around. Second, the merchandisers use R-290, a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant that many manufacturers have moved to. If you are sizing a cooler, our reach-in refrigerator size guide and sandwich prep table size guide walk through door counts, pan counts and footprints.
Hurakan range, griddle and fryer lineup
The cooking side is all gas in our current catalog. These are representative listings:
- Hurakan Heavy Duty 60 inch gas range ($3,159): six open burners, two ovens with two racks each, a griddle and a broiler, manual controls with a Robertshaw thermocouple and cast iron lift-off grates.
- 48 inch countertop gas griddle ($1,059): four burners, a 3/4 inch plate and a 48 x 19 inch cooking surface with manual controls.
- 36 inch countertop charbroiler ($740): three burners, radiant heat, a 36 x 19 inch grate area, ETL listed.
- 50 lb natural gas floor fryer ($841): 120,000 BTU from four burners, two baskets and a 1 1/4 inch drain cock.
If you are deciding between a 36, 48 or 60 inch range, our gas range sizes guide covers burner counts, oven widths and line planning. Gas equipment must be installed by a licensed gas fitter, under a hood system that meets your local mechanical and fire code. Your installer and inspector have the final word on clearances, gas pressure and ventilation.
Hurakan review: pros and cons
What we like
- Price. Undercounter units and prep tables list between about $1,000 and $2,900, and a heavy duty six burner range with two ovens is listed at $3,159.
- Safety and sanitation marks. Many listings name ETL or ETLus listings, and several refrigeration units add ETL Sanitation.
- Useful specs on cold storage. Temperature ranges, cubic feet, pan counts and refrigerant type are spelled out on many listings.
- One brand for the whole line. Cold storage, prep and cooking match in finish and style.
What to watch
- Warranty is not on our listings. Call us before you buy and we will confirm current coverage for the exact model.
- Some listings are thin. A few back bar and griddle listings do not state BTU ratings, amperage or certification. Ask for the spec sheet if a number matters to your inspector.
- One vague capacity. Our two door reach-in listing gives a range of 38 to 53 cu ft rather than one figure, so confirm before you plan shelving.
- Gas type. Several cooking listings say natural gas. If you run on propane, confirm the configuration before ordering.
Who Hurakan is a good fit for
Hurakan makes the most sense for new restaurants, cafes, food trucks with a commissary and ghost kitchens that need a full set of equipment on a budget. It is also a practical choice for a second location where you want reliable basics without paying for features you will not use. If your operation runs 18 hours a day at very high volume, compare duty ratings and service networks carefully against premium brands, and ask your local service company whether it works on the brand. Our commercial kitchen equipment guide walks through planning a full line, from refrigeration to ventilation.
Shipping and ordering Hurakan equipment
Orders of $999 or more ship with free freight shipping; orders below that pay a flat $200. Most Hurakan refrigeration clears $999 on its own, while smaller items like the charbroiler, fryer and countertop ranges may not unless you combine them. Measure doorways, hallways and the final spot before delivery, and leave the clearances your installer specifies for airflow around self-contained refrigeration.
Frequently asked questions
Is Hurakan a good brand for a restaurant?
For budget conscious kitchens, it is a reasonable choice. Many listings carry ETL marks and clear specs. Confirm warranty coverage and local service availability before you commit to a full line.
Is Hurakan the same as Equip.me?
Our listings sell the line as “Hurakan by Equip.me,” and some listings shorten it to “Hurakan.” Both names refer to the same equipment family.
What size Hurakan prep table do I need?
Count the ingredients you hold on the line. Our sandwich prep listings run from a 27 inch table with a 6 pan top up to a 70 inch three section model, and the 60 inch Megatop holds 24 pans. Our size guide linked above has a full pan count chart.
Are Hurakan ranges natural gas or propane?
The cooking listings we carry are described as gas, and several specify natural gas. Ask us about the exact model and have a licensed gas professional confirm the setup.
