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 painted aluminum interior with a 304 stainless steel floor also offers the stability necessary for heavy, regular use.

Undercounter Design

Because of its undercounter design, the refrigerator effortlessly adds cold storage space beneath a pre-existing countertop and doesn't require additional space for its own footprint. Take advantage of the included casters and roll the unit aside to thoroughly clean the area. This undercounter refrigerator requires a 115V electrical connection for operation.

Optimal Performance

This unit ensures optimal performance by operating with a 1/5 hp refrigeration system that circulates R290 refrigerant to maintain temperatures from 33 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. R290 refrigerant has an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0 and a global warming potential (GWP) of 3. The foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation helps provide structural rigidity and maintain internal temperatures.

Easy Operation

Operation of the refrigerator is easy, thanks to its special features. Monitor temperatures by consulting the interior wall-mounted thermometer and use the auto-defrost feature on the pre-programmed digital controller to keep the unit in excellent shape.

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). All that said, if you're in Read More

Unfortunately, this item was delivered non-operational. It could cool slightly but never reach temperature. It was shipped in great condition with no dents or scratches, however, I don't recommend this product to anyone.

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!

after 12 months, will not go under 50 degrees and we cannot find any service company that will work on this new type of refrigerant. It was out of warranty by less than a month and webstaurant was completely unhelpful in helping us find someone to repair the unit.

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!
