If you need a little extra storage space in your refrigerator that's close to a prep station, or simply don't have the room 'out front' for a traditional style reach in, an undercounter model is a great way to add cold storage space. Another popular piece of refrigeration equipment is the refrigerated chef base, which serves the role of a combination refrigerator and equipment stand. With so many sizes and configurations available, you'll be able to find the perfect one for your needs. 

What are Under counter Refrigerators and Freezers

An undercounter refrigerator is a smaller appliance designed to fit beneath your counters and between cabinets to store extra food, wine and other beverages. These models differ from mini- or compact refrigerators as they are designed to be built into your kitchen and have features and temperature settings. 


How To Choose an Undercounter Refrigerator or Freezer

When choosing the best undercounter freezer or refrigerator for your application, it's important to do the following:


Measure the space you plan to put it in so that you buy the right height and so that you have the right amount of horizontal space for the unit and any exhaust clearances it may need. Take into account aisle space for open doors and drawers so that you can work and move through the kitchen comfortably.

Consider how you plan to use it. Do you want a refrigerator for a self-service area, or do you just need a unit that can keep some extra ingredients close to your prep area? These types of questions will determine whether you want glass doors, solid doors, or drawers. We also have plenty of resources on how to choose the best commercial refrigerator and on other types of refrigeration, like different types of prep tables, which could also serve your needs.

Do your research. Read product descriptions and specsheets carefully, review dimensions and clearances, and ask if you have questions!


What are sizes of Undercounter Refrigerator and Freezer 

Whether you're looking for a tiny 24" undercounter freezer to keep a few ingredients close to the fryer, a long model with lots of storage space, or something in between, there's an undercounter fridge or freezer for just about any space, and manufacturers make lots of different sizes to accommodate the wide range of layouts in commercial kitchens.


Single Door Undercounter Refrigerators / Freezers: 

Typically anything 36" or under


Two Door Undercounter Refrigerators / Freezers: 

Typically anything from 36 – 72.


Three Door Undercounter Refrigerators / Freezers: 

Typically anything 72 or over.


Every manufacturer makes their product a little differently, though, and may offer different configurations. Two drawers will usually take the place of a single door.
