Why this sliding lid ice cream freezer earns its place
The TEFCOLD IC201SCEB is a chest freezer with a curved glass sliding lid, built to put frozen stock on show rather than bury it beneath a solid top. The clear lid turns the cabinet into a display point for ice cream, frozen impulse lines and grab-and-go stock, so customers can see what is inside before they lift it. The exterior is finished in white with a white painted steel interior, a clean look that sits well in a shop aisle or serve point.
It runs across a -24 to -14 °C band, cold enough to hold ice cream and frozen goods hard, and uses a mechanical controller with manual defrost — you set the dial and clear the frost down by hand periodically. It is rated to climate class 5, built to keep temperature in warm ambient conditions, and at 45 dB it is quiet enough to sit in a customer-facing aisle without intruding on the space.
Power comes from a standard 13-amp supply, so it plugs into an ordinary socket with no special electrical work. Cooling uses R600a refrigerant with a 55 g charge, a low-GWP hydrocarbon that keeps the running footprint down. On energy it sits at class D with an energy efficiency index of 44%, drawing 98 W and working out at about £138 a year in electricity at 25p/kWh.
