Energy-Efficient Refrigeration

Designed to maintain temperatures from 33-40 degrees Fahrenheit, this refrigerator boasts a bottom-mounted 1/4 hp compressor that uses 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.

Built to Display

Boasting anti-fogging glass sliding doors, this unit ensures that customers always have a clear view of your products. The (8) epoxy-coated steel shelves inside help organize and display the beverages, salads, or other cold dishes. Plus, since the shelves are adjustable, you can be sure that they'll accommodate changing merchandise and menus. Interior LED lighting is also effective in illuminating and further merchandising your products.

Attractive and Durable

Designed with sharp looks and usability in mind, this unit is the perfect display for your products with its sleek black finish and a lighted top graphics area. And, since the housing is made from black coated steel, you can be sure that it will provide superior durability. Plus, for optimal temperature retention and structural rigidity, the entire cabinet is foamed-in place using polyurethane insulation.

Easy to Operate

This refrigerator includes automatic defrosting and a digital temperature control. These features ensure that operation is as easy as possible. Plus, the controls are mounted to the bottom front of the unit, meaning that they're always easily accessible for adjusting. The unit requires a 115V electrical connection for operation.

Casters Included

A set of casters provides the unit with convenient mobility. When it comes time for cleaning or maintenance, simply roll the unit away from the wall!

Sliding Doors

Requiring minimal front clearance, these sliding doors are perfect for narrow aisles and locations that are tight on space. The sliding design allows for easy access without needing space for doors to swing outward.

Don't waste your money! They look great at first but product has major design flaws. Door do not seal creating constant condensation on the glass making it have to be cleaned multiple times per day to even see the products side. Even called under warranty and they sent new doors that are worse than the ones it came with.

Fridge is designed horribly. Constantly sweating and Webstaurant won't return it, tried to return this thing after the first day. Contacted manufacturer and they either never answer the phone and are less than helpful about the situation. Stay far away from this thing it is a waste of money.

This is a great fridge and the LED lighting makes it easy to check inventory in the evenings. The shelves are also easily adjustable and there’s a drain at the bottom that makes it easy to clean.

We just bought this fridge and it works great. It is way better priced than competing fridges and does the same job. Looks extremely slick.

We purchased this commercial refrigerator about a year and a half ago, and now it’s completely stopped working. For a piece of equipment that’s supposed to be reliable in a business setting, this is incredibly frustrating. We expected better durability and performance. Very disappointed with the quality and lack of longevity.

Just bought this cooler in June 2024. Unfortunately replaced a 15 year old True cooler that still worked. It almost seems like this cooler has no seals on the doors. The doors flop back and forth almost an inch. This leads to the unit producing GALLONS of condensation per day. The condensation is over flowing into the floor. Also, you cannot see into the cooler due to the doors always being 100% covered in condensation. Absolutely unmanageable and not normal or acceptable.

Work good for about a year, and right when the warranty ends the fridge isn't holding temp anymore, and there is rust coming from where the fan is so likely a leak in the evaporator.. Stay far away from purchasing anything Avantco.

The refrigerator is very poorly designed. It has a structure that constantly sweats and constantly leaks water into it. There is no problem with cooling, but these problems are also annoying.

We have had this fridge for about a year now, and it has kept very constant temperature in the 33-38 range, and we love the sliding self-closing doors. It is very sweaty and during humid months needs to be wiped down quite often, and the drip pan removed from behind its cover, which is screwed on in a very inconvenient way. The health department recently came to issue a transitional permit as we have changed owners. They said this refrigerator is not designed to store foods that we have prepared in our kitchen, and can only hold commercially packaged items. I have seen nowhere in the manufacturer's materials where this is explicitly stated, as "pre-packaged" to me would mean any item that is packaged to be sold, not just items that were prepared off premises. I would love for Avantco to reach out to me to clarify!
