Blue Air BLUR28-D2-HC 28" Undercounter Refrigerator with 2 Drawers
Blue Air BLUR28-D2-HC — 27-1/2" Single-Section Refrigerated Drawer Base
The Blue Air Commercial Refrigeration BLUR28-D2-HC is the smallest cabinet in the BLUR undercounter range — one section, 27-1/2" wide, with two drawers and no swing door at all. Inside that footprint are 7.0 cu. ft. of 33 °F to 39 °F storage, which is enough to hold a single station's mise en place without giving up a whole run of wall. A 1/4 HP rear-mounted system on R-290 refrigerant draws just 4.0 amps from an ordinary 115 V outlet.
Key Features of the BLUR28-D2-HC
Everything here is about getting real refrigerated drawer storage into a bay barely over two feet wide.
Two Feet of Wall, Full Drawer Access
At 27-1/2" wide and 30" deep the BLUR28-D2-HC drops into the gap most kitchens have left over between equipment. It still delivers 7.0 cu. ft. and, at 163 lbs net, it is light enough for two people to place without a lift.
All Drawers, No Door
Both compartments are drawers sized for 6" deep pans, pulled by lifetime-guaranteed Ni-Cr plated metal handles. With no swing door there is nothing to block an aisle, which matters when the cabinet sits in a tight bay or under a narrow worktop.
R-290 at 4.0 Amps
The self-contained rear-mounted 1/4 HP system runs on R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant with no ozone depletion potential, and pulls only 4.0 amps at 115 V — the lightest electrical load in the BLUR line, which makes it easy to add to an existing circuit.
Digital Control and Open Alarm
A self-diagnostic digital temperature control and monitor system shows cabinet temperature on the display and includes manual defrost. Visual and audible alarms flag a drawer that has not closed, and the electrodeposition-coated evaporator resists corrosion over the life of the coil.
Two numbers to check first: the 30" depth excludes 3" for the handle and rear spacers, and the 30-29/32" cabinet height excludes 5" for the casters, so the unit stands about 35-29/32" on its wheels. Blue Air lists 2.5" casters as an option if you need it to sit lower under a fixed counter.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can a 7.0 cu. ft. undercounter refrigerator actually hold?
The BLUR28-D2-HC's two drawers each take 6" deep pans, which is enough for one station's proteins, garnishes or dairy through a full service. It is sized as a supplementary cold point next to a grill, fryer or bar station rather than as a kitchen's main storage.
Does the BLUR28-D2-HC come with shelves?
No. This is a drawer-only cabinet, so there is no shelved compartment and no shelves are supplied. If you need shelving as well as drawers, step up to one of the wider BLUR models that pairs a swing door section with drawer sections.
Will it fit under a 36" prep counter?
The cabinet body is 30-29/32" tall and the standard 4" casters add 5", bringing the top to roughly 35-29/32". That clears a 36" counter, and the optional 2.5" casters give you more room if the opening is tighter.
What kind of outlet does the BLUR28-D2-HC need?
A standard 115 V / 60 Hz single-phase receptacle. Its 4.0 amp draw is the lowest of the BLUR undercounter refrigerators, and the 9.8 ft (3 m) cord ends in a molded NEMA 5-15P plug, so no electrician is required for a straightforward installation.
Is this unit certified for commercial kitchens?
Yes — it carries cETLus electrical listing for the United States and Canada and ETL-Sanitation for food-contact use. The stainless interior and exterior over a galvanized back and bottom, plus rounded corners, are what make the cabinet straightforward to clean and inspect.
