Why this solid lid chest freezer earns its place
Chest freezers are a staple in catering kitchens, and the TEFCOLD GM300 does what it's supposed to: reliable, efficient frozen storage without fuss. The solid hinged lid opens smoothly and seals tight, protecting ingredients from temperature swings and frost build-up. At 984 mm wide and 700 mm deep, it fits neatly alongside prep benches or into storage alcoves where an upright won't squeeze in.
The temperature range of -14 to -24 °C gives you flexibility. Run it colder to maintain frozen stock that's already hard-set, or bring it up slightly if you're rotating faster stock through—the freezer responds to your rhythm. A 56 kg net weight makes it manageable to position and reposition when you're reorganising the kitchen.
Where chest freezers shine is capacity-per-footprint. You can load them deeper than uprights and pack them tighter, so if you're buying frozen ingredients in bulk—fresh fish, lamb cuts, prepared meals—this is where they live. Energy consumption sits at 270 kWh per year, reasonable for the storage volume you're getting. The white exterior is smart for commercial kitchens: easy to keep clean, doesn't show marks, blends into the background.
