Why this supermarket freezer earns its place
The Combisteel 7072.0045 is a compact white supermarket chest freezer with 870 litres gross capacity in the classic open-top format. The lift-lid cabinet lets customers and staff reach straight down into frozen stock, so it works as much as a self-service merchandising bunker for frozen lines as it does a back-of-house holding freezer. The plain white finish suits a retail floor or a store room without drawing attention to itself.
Day to day, this is a manual-defrost cabinet with a digital controller maintaining -18 to -23 °C temperature. Rather than running an automatic defrost cycle, you periodically switch the freezer off, let the built-up ice clear and wipe the interior down before bringing it back to temperature — a routine worth building into a quieter part of the week. The cabinet uses R 290 refrigerant with static cooling and runs at just 55 dB(A) noise level. Because it is a chest design, the cold sits low in the cabinet and is not lost every time the lid is opened, which suits a busy grab-and-go frozen section.
It is a floor-standing cabinet measuring 1879 mm wide, 952 mm deep and 894 mm tall (external), with an internal well of 1731 × 780 × 590 mm and a gross weight of 153 kg. The cabinet is insulated with 71 mm foam and runs on 230 V, 50 Hz. Plan the footprint and the delivery route before it arrives, checking the full external width, depth and height against your floor space and your access doorways. The specification table on this page has the complete electrical supply and capacity details — check those against your available socket before you order.
