CKE STCF1260 Commercial Underbench Freezer, 210L Stainless Steel

Our review

This is a commercial under-counter freezer from CKE, model STCF1260, with a 210-litre capacity and a stainless steel body. It is designed for sub-zero storage and doubles as a work surface, which makes it a practical fit for kitchens where bench space is tight. The Dixell control system is the detail worth noting, since that is the part a chef or kitchen manager will interact with daily when setting and checking temperatures. It suits small restaurants, cafes, bakeries, bars and catering setups that need cold storage directly beneath a prep area rather than a separate upright unit. Before buying, think about the height and depth of the gap you are fitting it into, and whether the door swing and ventilation clearance work in your layout. Compare it with other underbench freezers on capacity, control brand, and whether the top is genuinely rated to be worked on. If you need a freezer that earns its footprint by also giving you prep space, this is the type to shortlist. Available on Sokonia.
