Why this display fridge earns its place
The Victor Optimax SQ SMR65ECT is the compact model in the Optimax SQ range — a refrigerated display built for café and deli counters where space is limited. At just 650 mm wide, it fits a tight counter run while still delivering a chilled display. It is a display-first cabinet: cakes, desserts, patisserie and cold grab-and-go lines sit on three shelves where customers can see them, which is where they sell. The SQ styling keeps it looking like part of the counter rather than back-of-house equipment.
Through the day it runs as a continuously refrigerated display, holding stock chilled and merchandised while the counter is busy. Load it to the manufacturer's fill lines rather than overpacking the shelves, keep the airflow path clear, and rotate stock front-to-back so the display stays full and even. The stainless steel construction is durable and cleans well, which matters on a busy front-of-house unit.
As a display cabinet it needs a level run of counter or floor with clearance around the vents so the refrigeration can breathe, plus a socket within reach. The SMR65ECT measures 650 mm wide, 1,445 mm tall and 750 mm deep, and at 215 kg is lighter than larger Optimax models — making it easier to site in compact spaces. It comes with a 2-year parts and labour warranty. Check the dimensions against your doorway and available space before ordering, and confirm the electrical supply with Craven Cooling.
