Product Description
The Hoshizaki FG220R is a compact undercounter freezer from Hoshizaki's Compact series, fitted with a glass door and mounted on castors. It is designed to provide accessible frozen storage in environments where floor space is at a premium, allowing staff to see contents at a glance without opening the door repeatedly.
In a working kitchen or front-of-house environment, this type of unit suits operations that need frozen product close to the point of service without committing floor space to a full-height cabinet. The glass door makes it particularly useful where staff need to locate items quickly during a busy service. Hoshizaki's build quality is well regarded in the industry, and the Compact series maintains that standard in a smaller footprint.
Practical advantages this unit offers in day-to-day operation include:
- Glass door allows quick visual stock checks without opening the cabinet
- Undercounter format fits beneath existing prep surfaces or counters
- Castors allow the unit to be repositioned or moved for cleaning
- Compact footprint suits tight service areas, bars, and small prep kitchens
- Good energy efficiency for its class helps manage running costs over time
Being a compact undercounter unit, this freezer is not intended for high-volume bulk frozen storage. It works best as a secondary freezer positioned close to service, rather than as a primary storage solution for a busy kitchen. The castors mean it is not fixed in place, but a stable, level floor surface is still important for correct door alignment and reliable operation. Clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation should be factored into positioning.
This unit is well suited to smaller catering operations, café or bar environments, and front-of-house display or service points where compact frozen storage with product visibility is a priority. For kitchens with significantly higher frozen storage demands, a larger undercounter or upright freezer would be a more appropriate choice.
If you are weighing up whether this unit fits your layout and service requirements, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The FG220R is best used as a secondary or point-of-service freezer rather than a main bulk storage solution. Its compact capacity suits operations that need a small quantity of frozen product close to service, such as a bar, café, or prep station. Kitchens with substantial frozen storage requirements would typically need a larger undercounter or upright freezer alongside it.
- Glass door freezers are designed to hold temperature through normal service use, but frequent or prolonged door opening will always place more demand on the refrigeration system. For environments where the door is opened constantly throughout service, a solid door model may offer more consistent temperature recovery. If your service pattern involves heavy access, it is worth discussing usage with us before ordering.
- The castors give you flexibility to move the unit, but it still needs adequate ventilation clearance at the rear and sides to operate efficiently. The floor surface should be reasonably level to ensure the door aligns and seals correctly. If you are positioning it beneath an existing counter, check the available height carefully before ordering — our team can advise on fit if you share your measurements.
