Refrigerated Storage

With a spacious refrigerated portion readily accessible through its two doors, the unit opens up to two shelves to help you organize your ingredients. Plus, because they each accommodate up to 88 lb., the epoxy-coated steel shelves are well equipped for holding heavy bulk ingredients, from dozens of eggs to jars of condiments and sauces.

Undercounter Height

Because of its undercounter design, the unit effortlessly adds cold storage space beneath a pre-existing countertop and doesn't require additional space for its own footprint.

Digital Controls

Monitor temperatures by consulting the interior wall-mounted thermometer and use the auto-defrost feature on the pre-programmed digital controller to keep the refrigerator in excellent shape.

Mounted Casters

To make cleaning and maintenance quick and easy, the unit comes standard with a set of casters. The casters allow you to easily roll the unit aside to thoroughly clean or to access the back for servicing.

Efficient Refrigeration System

This refrigerator ensures optimal performance by operating with a 1/3 hp refrigeration system that circulates R290 refrigerant to maintain temperatures from 33-40 degrees Fahrenheit. R290 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.

Durable Construction

This unit is designed for outstanding durability to ensure that it withstands busy kitchen environments with ease. It features a stainless steel exterior, which provides both strength and a smooth, sleek appearance. The interior, made with aluminum, also offers the durability necessary for regular use. The foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation helps provide structural rigidity and maintain internal temperatures.

If you are in an area with a health department that uses the 41-degree baseline, you should be aware this unit will only maintain a 41 degree temperature under perfect conditions (no opening of doors, cooler-than-normal-kitchen environment, and already fully cooled products). To maintain 41 degree threshold in an operational kitchen, the "overnight" product temperatures need to reach 36-38 degrees to compensate for the inevitable catch-up periods with door opening and product cycling through your operating day. However, the lowest temperature we've ever taken inside this unit is 40.5 degrees under the perfect conditions listed above. We've also caught the cabinet temperature exceeding 43 degrees before the compressor ever engages (and no, this was not during a defrost cycle nor had we placed warm product inside or held the doors open - its just not designed to be aggressive enough for a commercial kitchen).

We weren't sure if going w/ dual refrigerators would be a good idea, but we found out it was perfect for our trailer and it also fit to exact dimensions. Thank you!

While it is the most affordable, do not buy this product. Aside from not being able to maintain proper temperature, 13 months after purchase the compressor went out. The fridge warranty was expired after 12 months, but the compressor was under a 5 year warranty. So after paying for someone to come and diagnose it was in fact the compressor, once received I had to pay someone to install...2 months later and the compressor goes out again. After reading on some forums that's normal with this unit.

Does not maintain temperature and is not able to be adjusted to compensate for the inferior thermostat. Do not buy!

dont buy this cooler.. it gave me troubles keeping up with the right teperature and when i called the warranty place they kept just sending me to someone else until they actually took my claim, after that they took over a month before they had someone come to "fix it" a month after it was "fixed" still not working. they made sure to take their time to run the warranty time out. literally the worst of the worst, not to mention that the locasl place they use to fix things also says sorry you are over the warranty time so now i have a very spensive shelf instead of a cooler

We have had this, and several other Avantco coolers for a few years now. Solid economy products, just be sure that you have a tech that can work with the R2-90 gas!
