Product Description
The Hoshizaki KG220L DR G U is a compact undercounter refrigerator with a glass door, designed for commercial settings where cold storage is needed but available floor space is limited. It sits within Hoshizaki's Compact series and is equally at home in front-of-house display or back-of-house prep roles. The glass door lets operators see contents without opening the cabinet, which helps reduce unnecessary door cycles and supports temperature stability during service.
In practice, this unit performs consistently in the steady, moderate-demand conditions typical of cafés, bars, small restaurants, and hospitality prep areas. Hoshizaki's air distribution system maintains even temperatures throughout the cabinet interior, which supports food safety compliance without requiring constant manual attention. Automatic defrost with re-evaporation of defrost water keeps day-to-day maintenance low and removes the need to drain the unit during service.
Key operational advantages include:
- A-rated energy efficiency, keeping running costs manageable over time
- Low noise output, well suited to open or front-of-house environments
- Internal LED lighting for clear visibility without adding heat to the cabinet
- Full-height integrated handle for easy, hygienic one-handed access
- Reversible door hinging for flexible positioning within an existing layout
- Door lock for security where contents require it
The unit runs on a standard single-phase supply and has a compact footprint that fits neatly under counters or within cabinetry runs. As with any undercounter refrigerator, adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser is important — fitting the unit tightly against surrounding cabinetry without the recommended clearance can affect both performance and long-term reliability.
This model is a practical choice for bars, coffee shops, small kitchens, and front-of-house service counters where space efficiency matters. It is not intended to replace full Gastronorm-rated undercounter equipment, and operators with heavier or higher-volume storage demands may find a larger undercounter or upright unit a better match for their needs.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your space and service setup, our team is glad to help you work it out before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the glass door and low noise output make it a practical choice for front-of-house counters where drinks or chilled ingredients need to be clearly visible to staff or customers. The internal LED lighting and integrated handle also contribute to a tidy, professional presentation.
- The main consideration is ventilation. Like all undercounter refrigerators, the condenser requires adequate air clearance to operate correctly — fitting the unit flush against surrounding cabinetry without the recommended clearance can reduce cooling performance and shorten the working life of the unit. It runs on a standard single-phase supply, so no specialist electrical provision is typically required.
- This model is designed for moderate, steady-demand environments such as small restaurants, cafés, and bars. It is not a direct replacement for full Gastronorm-rated undercounter equipment, and sites with high storage volumes or a need for full GN tray compatibility may be better served by a larger undercounter or upright model. If you are unsure whether the capacity is right for your operation, it is worth speaking to us before committing.
