The Tefcold ST160 is a compact chest freezer with a hinged flat glass lid, designed primarily for impulse frozen product display in small retail and catering environments. The clear lid allows customers or staff to see what is inside without opening the unit, which helps the cabinet hold temperature between accesses and reduces unnecessary cold air loss across a trading day.

In day-to-day use the ST160 performs reliably in low-to-medium demand settings. The static cooling system maintains a stable internal temperature quietly, without the background noise of a fan-assisted unit — a consideration worth noting for smaller cafés, snack kiosks, or front-of-house retail spaces where ambient noise matters. Recovery after opening is adequate for typical impulse retail patterns, though any site where the lid is being opened very frequently throughout a full service day should factor that into the decision before purchasing.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several practical advantages:

  • Hinged glass lid with lock — product visibility without compromising temperature or security
  • Castors fitted as standard, allowing repositioning without lifting
  • Integrated temperature display for straightforward day-to-day monitoring
  • Defrost drain included, making routine cleaning more manageable
  • One storage basket supplied for basic product organisation within the cabinet

Installation is straightforward. The unit is self-contained and runs from a standard 13A mains socket, requiring reasonable clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation. It should not be positioned in direct sunlight or beside heat-generating equipment, as elevated ambient temperatures will affect performance and increase running costs.

The ST160 is well suited to small cafés, farm shops, garden centres, and convenience retail settings where a modest range of frozen impulse lines needs to be displayed accessibly. It is not intended for bulk frozen storage or continuous high-throughput kitchen production. Where the operation demands significantly greater capacity or the unit would face constant heavy access across a full service day, a larger or fan-assisted alternative is likely the more appropriate choice.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your specific site before committing, we are glad to help.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ST160 suitable for a busy café or will it struggle to keep up?

The ST160 is well suited to low-to-medium demand environments where the lid is opened intermittently throughout the day. If your site sees very frequent access — for example a high-footfall impulse counter with near-constant lid opening — recovery between accesses may not be sufficient, and a fan-assisted or higher-capacity unit would be worth considering instead.

What does installation involve — does it need a dedicated power supply?

No dedicated supply is required. The ST160 runs from a standard 13A mains socket, making installation straightforward in most settings. The main practical requirement is adequate clearance at the rear and sides for ventilation, and the unit should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as ovens or heated display cabinets to avoid affecting performance.

Can this unit be used for general frozen storage in a small kitchen, or is it purely for retail display?

The ST160 can hold frozen product reliably in low-demand back-of-house settings, but it is primarily designed for accessible impulse display rather than bulk or long-term frozen storage. For a kitchen that needs dependable frozen storage as part of daily food production, a purpose-built upright freezer or a larger chest freezer with greater capacity would typically be a more practical choice.
