Why this upright fridge earns its place
The Hoshizaki CU266 is an Advance-series double-door upright refrigerator, built for high-volume chilled storage in demanding commercial kitchens. At 1200 litres (797 litres net) it holds a broad range of stock in a single floor-standing cabinet measuring 1975 mm tall by 1344 mm wide — tall enough to give full-height access to all eight shelves behind two doors, yet compact enough for most kitchen floor plans. The cabinet accepts 2/1 gastronorm pans, so you can slot in standard prep containers without adapting your plating or storage routine.
Rated at just 270 W input power, it draws modest power for a cabinet of this size — equivalent to a domestic kettle in standby. It runs at Energy Class C, consuming 926 kWh/year, which our energy label decoder converts to pounds per year on your tariff. The two-door layout lets staff work one side while the other stays closed, limiting cold loss during restocking through a busy service.
Stainless steel construction with rounded interiors makes it durable and easy to clean under HACCP routines. The R290 refrigerant (GWP 3) keeps running costs down and meets modern environmental standards. Hoshizaki backs it with a 5-year parts and labour warranty, and Craven Cooling can arrange servicing to keep it running.
