A new 27.6" commercial display refrigerator with a 22.4 cu. ft. capacity is designed for cafés, dessert bars, and small restaurant kitchens where both presentation and performance matter. Unlike a standard stainless steel refrigerator, this glass door model lets products be seen while keeping them at the right temperature.

Why it matters

This display refrigerator is engineered for long-term reliability under daily restaurant or café use, with features like a bottom-mounted compressor and quiet fan system that maintain consistent temperatures without creating distracting noise in the service area.

The details

The refrigerator operates between 32 and 50°F, ideal for beverages and pre-packaged foods. Its air-cooled system uses serrated fan blades to distribute cold air evenly across the shelves, avoiding uneven cooling. The bottom-mounted compressor helps maintain airflow and reduces heat build-up, contributing to longer compressor life. Beyond temperature control, the unit is designed for daily usability with casters for easy moving and cleaning, and a customizable lightbox on top for branding or promotional purposes.

  • The commercial display refrigerator was released in March 2026.
