🔹 Condition
Used – Well-Maintained Condition – Fully Tested & Operational
This Blue Air commercial back bar cooler has been professionally inspected and tested to confirm proper refrigeration performance, compressor operation, interior airflow, temperature-control response, and general commercial functionality.
The black exterior cabinet, stainless steel top, two solid doors, handles, lower refrigeration section, and caster-mounted base show visible scratches, scuffs, marks, worn areas, and cosmetic signs consistent with previous restaurant or bar use.
The stainless steel top shows normal surface wear from commercial service, while the black exterior panels have several scratches and abrasions. These cosmetic imperfections do not prevent normal operation.
The unit should be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before installation. Interior shelves, door locks, keys, power cord, and all removable accessories are included only when physically present.
🔹 Description
The Blue Air BBB59-2B is a two-section commercial back bar refrigerator designed for convenient refrigerated storage beneath bar counters and beverage-service work areas.
Its approximately 59-inch-wide cabinet provides 19.4 cubic feet of refrigerated capacity, making it suitable for storing bottled drinks, canned beverages, mixers, packaged garnishes, refrigerated ingredients, and other sealed products required during bar or restaurant service.
Two solid swing doors help reduce light and heat exposure while providing separate access to each refrigerated compartment. The heavy-duty stainless steel worktop creates a durable surface for beverage preparation, serving supplies, glass racks, or light countertop equipment.
The side-mounted self-contained refrigeration system allows service access without removing the entire cabinet from the installation area. The unit is mounted on casters, making cleaning and repositioning easier when site conditions permit.
The present Blue Air BBB59-2B-HC replacement model retains the same general 59-inch, two-door back-bar format with a stainless steel top, four adjustable shelves, and 19.4-cubic-foot capacity.
