Delivery Information
Price Match
The Foster XR2H is a two-door undercounter refrigerator from Foster's entry-level XR range. It provides refrigerated storage directly at the prep or service line, keeping chilled ingredients and dairy products within arm's reach without operators needing to step away from their work area. Fan-assisted cooling and automatic defrost are standard features, reducing the manual intervention required during a busy service.
In practice, this counter suits kitchens where worktop space and refrigerated storage need to share the same footprint. The fan-assisted circulation helps maintain consistent temperatures across the cabinet even when doors are opened frequently — which matters on a prep line or sandwich counter where access is constant throughout service. The auto defrost cycle runs without requiring staff attention, and the stainless steel construction holds up well under the cleaning routines expected in a commercial environment.
From an operational standpoint, the XR2H offers several practical advantages:
- Adjustable gastronorm-compatible shelving allows flexible arrangement to suit changing storage needs
- Replaceable door gaskets mean worn seals can be swapped without replacing the unit
- Fan-assisted cooling distributes temperature evenly across the cabinet under load
- Auto defrost reduces maintenance demands during and after service
- Stainless steel interior and exterior supports routine cleaning and hygiene compliance
Installation is relatively straightforward — the unit sits beneath a standard worktop and requires a mains electrical connection. Before fitting into a run of cabinetry, it is worth confirming that adequate ventilation clearance is available on the appropriate sides. Restricted airflow will affect both performance and the working life of the compressor, so this is worth checking at the planning stage rather than after installation.
The XR2H is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, smaller prep kitchens, and service counters where accessible refrigerated storage at counter level is the primary requirement. As an entry-level unit in the Foster range, the price point is competitive, but operations with high storage demands, extended running hours, or heavy door-opening frequency may find a heavier-duty model a more durable long-term investment.
If you are weighing up whether this unit fits your kitchen layout and service pattern, our team is happy to talk it through before you place an order.
Frequently asked questions
Is the XR2H suitable for a high-volume service kitchen?
The XR2H is well suited to moderate-volume operations such as cafés, sandwich bars, and smaller prep kitchens where undercounter refrigerated storage is the primary need. In environments with very high door-opening frequency, extended daily running hours, or large chilled storage demands, a heavier-duty undercounter model may offer better long-term reliability and should be considered at the planning stage.
What does the XR2H need in terms of installation?
The unit requires a standard mains electrical connection and is designed to sit beneath a conventional worktop. The most important installation consideration is ensuring adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser — fitting the unit flush into cabinetry without sufficient airflow will affect both cooling performance and compressor longevity. Check the ventilation requirements before the unit is built into a run of cabinetry.
Can this fridge be used for dairy storage and what temperature range does it cover?
Yes, the XR2H is suitable for dairy storage and general chilled ingredient storage at standard refrigeration temperatures. The fan-assisted cooling helps maintain consistent conditions even when the cabinet is regularly accessed during service, which is important for both food safety and product quality.
