Everest ETBR1-D2 28 In. Drawered Undercounter Refrigerator, 2 Drawers, 7.5 Cu. Ft., 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Worktop

SKUETBR1-D2 BrandEverest Refrigeration

The Everest Refrigeration ETBR1-D2 Undercounter Refrigerator

The Everest ETBR1-D2 is the two drawer entry point in the drawered side of Everest's ETB Series back mount undercounter line, built for line stations where cooks pull pans from a drawer instead of crouching into a swing door mid-rush. It packs 7.5 cubic feet of cold storage into a 27 3/4 inch cabinet, holds backup pans at hand height, and its 16 gauge stainless steel worktop doubles the footprint as a tabletop workspace. Because the condensing unit breathes from the front, the cabinet sits flush against walls and under counters without starving the compressor for air.

Back Mounted Blizzard R290 Cartridge that Swaps without On-Site Brazing

The condensing unit is a back mounted, self-contained Blizzard R290 cartridge that is fully detachable and replaceable in the field with no on-site brazing. Unlike a conventional sealed system repair that can park a cabinet out of service while a tech opens the refrigerant circuit, a cartridge swap gets the box back to work the same visit. The cartridge runs natural R290 refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of three, and the unit arrives pre-wired and ready to plug in on a standard 115V circuit.

Electronically commutated fan motors pull the cabinet down to temperature quickly while drawing less power, and a full-length air duct keeps cold air circulating through the whole cavity. The auto defrost cycle starts on a timer and ends on temperature, so it runs only as long as the coil needs. A self-maintaining condensate pan needs no external drain line or electric heater, the auto-reverse condenser fan supports compressor ventilation and helps keep the condenser coil clean, and pressure relief devices let staff re-open a just-closed drawer instead of waiting out the vacuum.

Two Ball-Bearing Stainless Steel Drawers Sized for Half and Quarter Pans

Both stacked 26 1/2 inch drawer fronts are heavy duty stainless steel inside and out with 2.5 inch high density polyurethane insulation, and each drawer rides on a thick gauge stainless steel frame with low-friction ball bearings, so a loaded drawer glides out with one hand during a rush. Together the two drawers accommodate four half size and two quarter size drawer pans (pans are not included), keeping prepped product portioned and ready instead of buried behind a door. Snap-in magnetic gaskets pop out for cleaning, and high strength recessed handles stay out of the walkway.

7.5 Cu. Ft. Open Interior Under a 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Worktop

The cabinet wraps 7.5 cubic feet of drawer storage in heavy duty stainless steel inside and out, with rounded corners that will not snag knuckles or towels, a galvanized steel bottom and rear, and 2.5 inch high density polyurethane insulation in the walls. The 16 gauge stainless steel worktop takes cutting boards and countertop equipment, and the body stands 30 1/4 inches tall, or 35 1/4 inches on its four 5 inch swivel casters with locks on the front set, so it rolls out for cleaning and locks in place during service.

Digital Controller that Holds 33°F to 54°F with an Overheat Alarm

A multi-function digital controller with an easy to read LED display ships factory preset at 35°F and adjusts anywhere from 33°F to 54°F. An audible overheat alarm watches the compressor and condenser coil and sounds before a developing problem turns into lost product. Everest backs the unit with 3 year parts and labor, 5 year electrical, and 10 year compressor coverage, supported through its service agent network.

If the stock setup does not match your station, Everest offers a 4 inch high stainless steel backsplash (27 1/2 inches long) for worktop applications, a double overshelf that adds two raised 27 by 13.5 inch shelves and 31 inches of height, a 3 inch caster assembly in place of the standard 5 inch set, and height adjustable interchangeable legs from 3.5 to 6 inches.

Keep in mind this is a refrigerator only, holding 33°F to 54°F, so it will not carry frozen product, and drawer pans are not included. Drawers trade shelf flexibility for pan access; the same width ETBR1 door model in this series carries wire shelves for boxed and odd-shaped stock, and wider two and four drawer siblings add sections. On its standard casters the unit stands 35 1/4 inches overall, so verify your counter clearance and use the optional 3 inch casters or adjustable legs where the line runs lower. Power is a standard 115V connection drawing 2.5 amps on a 9 foot cord, with no dedicated circuit needed.

The Everest Refrigeration ETBR1-D2 Undercounter Refrigerator

About Undercounter Refrigerators

Commercial undercounter refrigerators keep ingredients cold and within reach at the station level, fitting neatly under existing counters and prep surfaces without taking up extra floor space. Restaurants, bars, delis, hotels, and food trucks all use them to add cold storage exactly where it's needed in a busy kitchen layout.

Most kitchens stick with a solid door undercounter fridge, but there are other setups. Drawer models are faster on busy lines where staff need to grab ingredients quickly. Glass door units let you see what's inside without opening the door. If you need both cold and frozen storage in one spot, go for a combo unit with both sections in one cabinet.

Most undercounter fridges stand 27 to 34 inches tall and run 27 to 30 inches deep, designed to fit under standard counter heights. Width varies by model, with common sizes ranging from 27 to 72 inches wide. Popular widths like 48 and 60 inch units give you more storage capacity while still fitting cleanly into your counter run.

Common Types and Configurations

Standard Undercounter Refrigerator: A solid door unit designed to fit under standard counter heights. Available in single and multiple door configurations to fit different station widths and storage requirements.
Commercial Undercounter Refrigerator with Drawers: Replaces hinged doors with pull-out drawers for faster ingredient access during service. A popular choice on cook lines and prep stations where staff need to grab product quickly without crouching to open a full door.
Commercial Undercounter Refrigerator Glass Door: Features glass doors that allow staff to see stored product at a glance. Reduces unnecessary door openings and helps maintain consistent internal temperatures during busy service periods.
Commercial Undercounter Refrigerator Freezer Combo: Combines a refrigerated section and a frozen section in a single undercounter cabinet. Useful for stations that need both cold and frozen storage without adding a second unit.
Commercial Lowboy Refrigerator: A low-profile undercounter unit commonly used in bars and service stations. Designed to fit under lower counters while still providing reliable cold storage for bottles, garnishes, and prepped ingredients.

What to Look at Before You Buy

Unit Dimensions: Measure your space before you order. Most undercounter fridges fit under standard 36 inch counters, but always check the height, width, and depth against your actual setup.
Door vs. Drawer: Standard doors are cheaper and give you full access. Drawer models cost more but speed up workflow on busy lines where staff need to grab ingredients fast.
Solid vs. Glass Door: Solid doors insulate better and hold temperature. Glass doors let you see inside and cut down on door openings during service. Pick what fits your workflow.
Refrigerator vs. Freezer Combo: If you need both cold and frozen storage, a combo unit saves space and cuts down on equipment. Check that each section hits the temperatures you need.
Compressor Location: Most undercounter units have the compressor on the left or right. Make sure there's enough clearance for airflow and that it won't block other equipment or cabinets.
Temperature Range: Look for units that hold 33°F to 41°F, even when loaded. If your kitchen gets hot, check the ambient rating on the spec sheet to make sure the unit can keep up.
NSF Certification: Many commercial undercounter refrigerators carry NSF certification confirming they meet health code standards. Check your local requirements before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size commercial undercounter refrigerator do I need?

Start with your counter space. Measure width, depth, and height where the fridge will go, and check those numbers against the spec sheet before you order. Most undercounter fridges fit under standard 36 inch counters, but heights can vary. For storage, figure out how much you need to hold at the station during a typical service. Pick a unit that covers that volume but isn't so big it strains the compressor.

What is the difference between a commercial undercounter refrigerator and a worktop refrigerator?

The difference is the top. A worktop fridge has a stainless steel surface for prepping, cutting, and assembly. An undercounter fridge slides under your existing counter, using the counter as its top. Both give you cold storage, but a worktop unit is freestanding with its own prep space, while an undercounter model fits into your current layout.

Can a commercial undercounter refrigerator be used as a freezer?

Standard undercounter fridges hold 33°F to 41°F and won't reach freezing. If you need frozen storage in the same footprint, get a dedicated undercounter freezer or a combo unit with both fridge and freezer sections in one cabinet.
