Hoshizaki K220R Compact 123 Ltr Single Door Undercounter Fridge

The Hoshizaki K220R is a compact single-door undercounter refrigerator from Hoshizaki's Compact series. It is designed to provide reliable chilled storage in kitchens where bench or floor space is limited, fitting neatly beneath a standard worktop while still offering a practical internal capacity for day-to-day ingredient storage.

In working kitchen environments, this unit performs well as a prep-line fridge or a secondary storage cabinet close to the service area. It is not intended as a primary high-volume storage solution, but for smaller operations — or as a supplementary unit in a larger kitchen — it maintains consistent temperatures across its internal compartment, helping to keep fresh ingredients in good condition throughout a service period. The automatic defrost function reduces the need for manual intervention and helps the cabinet maintain stable temperatures without staff attention.

From an operational standpoint, several features make this cabinet straightforward to live with day to day:

• One-piece inner lining with smooth, seamless surfaces simplifies cleaning and reduces harbourage points
• Removable door seal allows thorough cleaning without specialist tools
• Full-height integrated handle gives easy one-handed access during busy service
• Rounded internal corners and base reduce time spent on end-of-day cleaning routines

Because this is an undercounter unit, it requires adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser — typically at the rear or base depending on configuration. It is designed to run on a standard single-phase supply, making installation straightforward in most kitchen settings. It is worth confirming the ventilation requirements before positioning it in a tight alcove or enclosed cabinet run, as restricted airflow will affect both performance and energy efficiency.

This cabinet is well suited to small cafés, sandwich bars, pub kitchens, and similar operations where storage demands are modest and space is at a premium. It also works well as a dedicated dairy or prep ingredient fridge in a medium-sized kitchen where the main walk-in or reach-in is positioned away from the pass. For higher-volume operations needing greater capacity or heavier-duty construction, a larger cabinet from the range would be worth considering.
