Durable Construction

A painted aluminum interior with a 304 stainless steel floor gives you increased durability, while a stainless steel exterior gives it a sleek appearance. Its front door features transparent glass, which easily displays products to customers or enables employees to spot the needed item before even opening up the fridge. For optimal temperature retention, the entire cabinet utilizes foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation. This item requires a 115V electrical connection for operation.

1/3 hp Compressor

The 1/3 hp compressor not only draws in cooler air for energy efficiency, but also raises the bottom shelf, so you don’t have to bend as much during loading and unloading. It circulates R290 refrigerant. This specialized refrigerant has an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0 and a global warming potential (GWP) of 3, making it an environmentally-responsible choice for your business. Also, this unit has an automatic defrost cycle, so your staff doesn’t need to spend valuable time clearing out ice.

Digital Temperature Control

Digital temperature control allows you to easily adjust the temperature of your refrigerator's cabinet within its 33 to 40 degree Fahrenheit range. The controller is preprogrammed to keep the unit in the safety zone (below 41 degrees) to avoid any issues with health inspectors. Plus, the unit will automatically defrost 4 times a day to keep food fresh and properly chilled. The clear LCD readout also helps keep track of the unit’s temperature.

Corrosion-Resistant Shelves

For convenience, three epoxy-coated shelves, which hold up to 88 lb. each, feature shelf clips for customization when desired. These adjustable shelves are coated with plastic to help keep out moisture and resist corrosion and rusting. Each unit comes with 3 shelves and 12 shelf clips, allowing you to place your shelves exactly where you need them to accommodate your small or large food products.

Door Lock

In order to keep your foods more secure overnight and after business hours, this unit features a door lock.

Self-Closing Door

This door is self-closing with a stay-open feature, giving your staff the ability to more quickly and easily load your refrigerator when you get a delivery.

Adjustable Shelves

This unit has a spacious cabinet with multiple adjustable shelves, but it's still small enough to fit in places where larger units would not.

Complete JUNK !! I bought in early 2020 thinking will be nice to have a new dependable stainless fridge that last many years... in Mid 2021, one year and few months after purchasing, the fridge stop cooling, had leaked out all the freon, called Webstaurant and Avantco, all they said, sorry warranty only lasted 1 year.... AWESOME, way to stand by your product and sell junk. So a refrigeration tech looked for a leak with no luck and filled with freon... last another 6 months and again leaked out freon, then added freon again for a 2nd time, and just today, the freon has leaked out for a 3rd time in past 2 years...from 3 yr old fridge... wow !! like I said at the beginning.. Complete JUNK !! I've been in bar and restaurant business for 21 years, and with multiple rental properties... this has been the worse appliance I've ever purchased.. congratulations !! If anyone is interested, i have shiny stainless box for sale that used to be a 3 yr old Avantco Refrigerator

New Buyers: this refrigerator lasted about 24-mos before the compressor gave out. You get what you pay for with Avantco.

Do not buy refrigerators from webstraunt. This unit is leaking water right from the start of plugging it in it smells about a cup of water every two hours onto the floor. The warranty process as a dumpster fire Webstaurant tells me to contact a warranty company the warranty company won’t do anything without putting the serial number in the website and when I put the serial number in the website it says it doesn’t work. So now I have a refrigerator that nobody can do anything about spilling water on the floor I’ve spent multiple hours dealing with different customer service reps with zero remedies. Their warrantee process is broken beyond repair. . Start buying refrigeration from a local company where you can actually deal with sales reps. I did that with the last restaurant I opened it was so much better and I only paid a little bit more

This refrigerator lasted right at about 2 years. Poor decision on my part to try a low priced option. Have purchased other brands with no issues to date.

I had this refrigerator for 3 years and 2 months and it STOPPED WORKING. The coolant ran out and I had to pay to have it refilled. It ran out within a few weeks due to a leak they can't find. The warranty ran out 2 months before it BROKE!!! I Do not recommend. I should be able to get more than 3 years out a commercial fridge.

The refrigerator works for a year and half and then stopped working. Assume the 1 year warranty is because this is common. Wouldn't recommend purchasing this product if you expect it to work for long.

Do not recommend. R 290 freon is a joke. Burns up the compressor in 1 1/2 years to 2 years. I bought 9 of these and 1 by 1 the compressor is burning out. I was told by my heating and air guy that he's had nothing but calls on the R290 refrigeration units. The compressor is only warranted for 1 year so after 2 years I've had 3 of these burn out and went to the scrape yard.

Very disappointed. After 3 years of VERY light use - closed 15 months due to covid, so used less than 2 years, the evaporator went out there is also a leak in the tube cap. I’ve had two companies quote and it’s going to cost more than the unit originally cost me to fix it. At this point, I would consider that to be a “disposable” fridge. Not happy!

Ordered in October 2020...no problems until it completed died in July 2023. It needed a new compressor already. It would have cost more to fix than we originally paid.

The refrigerator is working as expected, pretty sturdy. The main door is a little bit stiff and won't completely close by itself but overall a good product, so far so good.

This refrigerator is surprisingly spaces for the amount of space it takes up. Very durable shelves. We especially enjoyed that the shelves are easily adjustable. It comes ready to operate without any need for adjustments from the factory.

Great option for the amount of business that I have. Easy to move and with lots of space for small business. The best part is that the motor is on the bottom so you dont kill your back.

Worked great for 24 months, very lightly used. Copper lines sprung a couple leaks and would not cool anymore. Repair was $1300!!! Total scam of selling refrigerators that will just go within the first couple of years. Repair guy said Avantco and others notorious for this!! Webstaurant should stop carrying these.

Dead on arrival. Instead of expediting a replacement, Webstaurant is making me file a warranty claim. I should have read the terrible reviews more carefully. Having been a Webstaurant customer for 10 years, I would have expected them to prioritize taking care of a customer over helping a supplier leave me holding the bag. So, don't buy this fridge, and don't buy one from Webstaurant--there are obviously better options out there on both fronts.
