Why this upright freezer earns its place
The Hoshizaki Premier F70CDRU CZ233 is a single-door upright freezer sized around the 2/1 gastronorm standard. One full-height door opens onto a 475-litre frozen cabinet across 4 shelves that takes standard GN pans and trays, so a kitchen can store batch-frozen prep, stock and deliveries in the same format it preps in without the footprint of a double-door unit.
At just 690mm wide and 125 kg, it's a more compact option when space is limited but you still need full-height access and gastronorm compatibility. In daily use it's a back-of-house workhorse — a freezer that takes repeated door openings across service and keeps frozen stock ordered on internal shelving. Built in 304 stainless steel for durability.
Plan the install before delivery: it's notably smaller than a double-door freezer, so check the external dimensions (690mm wide, 920mm deep, 2075mm tall) on the spec panel against your doorway and floor run, and confirm the electrical supply and warranty terms. For running cost: it uses energy class C at around 4.9 kWh per day — feed this into the energy label decoder to turn it into pounds per year on your tariff.
