Why this upright fridge earns its place
The HOST 400Ltr Upright Fridge is a single-door stainless steel cabinet built for catering kitchens that need reliable chilled storage without the scale of a double-door unit. At 400 litres gross and 238 litres net usable, it suits independent restaurants, cafés and takeaways looking for a straightforward main fridge or a second unit alongside prep counters.
Fan-assisted cooling holds the cabinet at +2°C to +8°C and aids fast temperature recovery after the door's been open during busy periods, backed by 40mm of insulation that helps keep the Energy Class C rating and running costs in check. Four adjustable shelves organise the 238-litre interior for interchangeable stock, and the digital control panel makes setting and checking the temperature simple. Annual consumption runs to 478.2 kWh at an EEI of 47.7%, drawing 185W at 230V.
Refrigerant is R600a, the cabinet is rated to climate class 4 and built for a maximum ambient temperature of 32°C. The full-length lockable handle secures the single door, and durable stainless steel construction keeps cleaning quick. Fixed rear castors make positioning straightforward for the 69kg cabinet, and it comes with a 1-year parts-only warranty.
