CKE STCF1570 Commercial Underbench Freezer, 349L Stainless Steel

Our review

This is a commercial under-counter freezer from CKE, model STCF1570, built around a 349-litre cabinet and a 1500mm-wide stainless steel top. The idea is straightforward: frozen storage sits below the bench while the surface above stays free for prep work, which is why units like this tend to end up in busy kitchens where floor space is already spoken for. It suits a working kitchen that needs extra frozen capacity without adding a separate chest or upright, and the stainless finish is the practical choice for a food area that gets wiped down constantly.
Before buying, think about the space you actually have. Measure the gap under your counter, including door swing and any ventilation clearance the unit needs, and check that the 1500mm top matches how you work. The Dixell digital control is worth understanding too, since it governs how you set and monitor temperature, so read up on it rather than assuming it works like a dial thermostat.
Compared with a standard under-counter freezer, you are paying for capacity and a usable work surface rather than a small box. Compare against upright freezers if storage volume matters more than bench space, and against cheaper underbench units if the digital control and stainless build are not priorities for you.
