R290 refrigerant has an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0 and a global warming potential (GWP) of 3, making it an energy-efficient choice for your business. The foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation helps to maintain internal temperatures and adds rigidity to the body's structure.

Narrow Design
Ensure that bartenders and servers have enough space to work behind your bar with this space-saving unit.

Questions & Answers
Looking For Specific Info? Get quick answers to product questions with our AI-powered search.
Can I plug in this unit for use right away after receiving it?
No. It is strongly recommended to allow this unit to sit in its normal operating position for at least 24 hours before plugging it in for use. This allows the compressor oil and refrigerant time to settle from being displaced during transport, preventing damage to the unit that may void its warranty.
Can this unit be built into cabinetry?
It should not be built into cabinetry. This unit requires 3” of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation.
Does Avantco warrant this item for use in a food truck?
Avantco warrants new equipment sold to food truck customers to be operational for a period of 30 days from the date of delivery if installed and maintained correctly.
I haven’t heard of R-290, R-600a, R-513a, or R-448A refrigerant before. What is it?
R-290 (also known as high purity propane or CARE 40) and R-600a (also known as refrigerant grade Isobutane or CARE 10) are hydrocarbon refrigerants. R513a (also known as Opteon XP10) and R-448A (also known as Solstice N40) are HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) refrigerants. They are being used by some manufacturers in response to the EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program.
I'd like to install casters on this unit. Do I need 6 casters?
Yes, this item requires 6 casters. For convenience, we offer a kit with all of the casters and the M8-1.25 mm x 20 mm bolts required to mount them. See the item's Works With section.
What if my Avantco cooler doesn’t seem to be getting cold enough throughout the cabinet?
Make sure that you are loading it properly and not overloading it. This unit is designed for cans, bottles, and similar items that naturally enable good airflow within the cabinet. Overloading the cooler with cases and boxes will interrupt the airflow and negatively impact the unit’s performance.
Note: Avantco Refrigeration equipment with a labor warranty purchased prior to May 1st, 2024, is warranted for 1-year parts & labor / 5-year compressor. Any equipment installed outdoors, in a temporary structure, food truck, other mobile application, or in a residence or home-based business is covered by a 30-day replacement warranty through the place of purchase.

I have to say that the narrow profile of this machine is exactly what I needed in my bar and I was so happy with this machine for about 3 months. However, like every Avantco product I have purchased I discovered they are just not made to last. I have put in as much money into repairs as I paid for the fridge. It currently seems to be working fine. Lets hope the replacement parts are superior to the original parts.

great bar fridge! totally worth the money. You do not need to get a fancier brand of bar fridge that costs double the price. This one is perfect size and height. the flat top is great for storing whatever you need behind the bar.

I purchased this cooler to store 1/2 kegs. I discovered that the kegs would not fit through the door. To get the kegs in there I had to remove the front doors and remove the front shelf brackets and had to force the kegs past the center support. I am disappointed that the documentation specifically stated that the cooler would accept 1/2 kegs. I should not have to remove doors and force the kegs in the cooler.
Another issue I noticed is condensation dripping from the support under the doors. Not happy at all with this cooler

The Avantco UBB-72-GT 73" Back Bar Refrigerator is a really solid fit for any bar setup, especially when space and organization matter.
It’s the perfect size to hold multiple wine bottles, beer, and mixers all in one place, keeping everything neatly organized and easy to grab during a busy shift. The interior layout makes it simple to separate products so you’re not digging around mid-service.
One of the best features is the bright LED lighting, which makes everything inside clearly visible—even in a dim bar setting—so you can instantly find exactly what you’re looking for without slowing down.
The build feels sturdy, and the top surface is great for extra prep or staging space, which is a nice bonus in tighter bar areas.

The Avantco UBB-72-HC is the most impressive refrigerator I’ve come across. Even our health inspector complimented its sleek design and advanced technology. It performs flawlessly on our food truck, and I highly recommend it.

We have this behind the bar at our small coffee shop, to store gallons of milk, cans of soda, bottles of syrups, etc. Looks great and has held up over multiple years. The interior light is super helpful when working early in the morning!

Fantastic refrigerator for limited spaces. There is a surprising amount of interior room for the amount of space that it takes up. The digital display makes adjusting temperature really easy too.

This refrigerator is as reliable as they come even on Florida’s hottest day it keeps a temperature below forty degrees. It has enough under space to keep extra kegs, sauces, and sides.

Just go this beauty in and it looks good in our cafe. This is the first time I have heard of the brand but being a 1/3 cheaper than the bigger names we decided to give it a shot. Only down fall is the wheels shipped separately and now it's too late to add them on.
