Unity U-22FE 31 In. Economy Solid Door Reach-In Freezer, 18 Cu. Ft., Digital Temperature Control, Locking Door

The Unity U-22FE Reach-In Freezer

The Unity U-22FE is an economy one section reach-in freezer that puts 18 cu. ft. of commercial frozen storage into a cabinet only 30.7 inches wide. For a cafe, deli, bar, or small restaurant kitchen, that means backup proteins, fries, and desserts stay on site instead of on a supplier's schedule, and the footprint stays close to that of a household unit. It runs on a standard outlet through a 70 inch cord, the compressor sits at the bottom where the air is coolest, and the whole cabinet rolls on casters, so installation is a matter of minutes rather than a scheduled trade visit.

18 Cu. Ft. Held Between -7°F and 0°F

A digital temperature controller shows the cabinet temperature at a glance and adjusts with a couple of button presses, a real step up from the guess-and-check dials on entry-level freezers. Automatic defrost clears the evaporator on its own schedule, so you are not emptying the cabinet into coolers for a manual thaw every few weeks. The 3/8 HP compressor works behind foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation that holds the cold in, and the R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant cools efficiently with a small charge. An interior LED light makes labeled boxes readable even at the back of a low shelf.

Five Shelves on an Adjustable Rail System

Four full size 25 x 20 inch shelves and a half size bottom shelf organize the cabinet into five loading levels. The rail based shelf system lets you re-space levels in seconds when a bulk case or a tall tub needs room, and the PVC coated steel shelves take daily loading without chipping. A smooth high impact polystyrene liner wipes down quickly during weekly cleaning, unlike textured liners that hold onto frost and drips.

Locking Solid Door on a Mobile Base

The solid swing door closes itself so a rushed line cook cannot leave it cracked open, and the stay-open feature holds it wide for two-handed loading on delivery day. A built-in lock protects high-cost frozen stock overnight in shared or after-hours spaces. The door reverses in the field to suit your floor plan, the stainless steel handle takes constant use, and the snap-in gasket pulls out for cleaning or replacement without tools. Pre-installed 2 inch casters, two with brakes, make it easy to pull the cabinet out for a proper clean behind and beneath.

    The Unity U-22FE Reach-In Freezer

    About Reach-In Freezers

    Commercial reach-in freezers are a must for any professional kitchen that needs reliable frozen storage. Restaurants, hotels, caterers, and food trucks all rely on them to keep ingredients and prepared items at safe temperatures and close at hand. These units are built for daily use and hold steady below zero, even in a busy, hot kitchen.

    Reach-in freezers come in 1, 2, or 3 door models. A 1 door unit fits small kitchens or works as a station freezer. Most restaurants use a 2 door model. High-volume kitchens that need the most storage go with 3 doors to keep product accessible during service.

    Glass door reach-in freezers let staff see what's inside without opening the door, which helps keep temperatures steady. Pass-through and roll-in models are available if your workflow needs them. The key is to match the freezer size and type to your actual storage needs.

    Common Types and Configurations

    • 1 Door Commercial Reach-In Freezer: Compact upright for small kitchens or station use. Holds 20 to 27 cubic feet and fits tight spaces.
    • 2 Door Commercial Reach-In Freezer: Most common in restaurants. Balances storage and footprint. Usually 46 to 54 cubic feet.
    • 3 Door Commercial Reach-In Freezer: For high-volume kitchens that need maximum frozen storage. Used in large restaurants, hotels, and catering.
    • Glass Door Reach-In Freezer: Lets staff see product without opening the door. Helps keep temperatures steady during service.
    • Pass-Through Freezer: Opens from both sides. Good for moving product between stations or from prep to service.
    • Roll-In Freezer: Takes sheet pan racks. Used in bakeries, catering, and institutions for freezing large batches fast.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • Interior Capacity: Match cubic feet to what you actually need. Most restaurants use a 2 door unit in the 46 to 54 cubic foot range. High-volume kitchens may need 3 doors or more than one unit.
    • Temperature Range: The freezer must hold 0°F or below. If your kitchen is hot, check the ambient rating to make sure it can keep up.
    • Compressor Location: Top-mount runs cooler and is better for hot kitchens. Bottom-mount is easier to service but may not keep up in high heat.
    • Door Configuration: Solid doors insulate better. Glass doors help with visibility and speed. Pick what fits your workflow.
    • Interior Shelving: Go for adjustable shelves that fit your pans and containers. Epoxy-coated wire is standard and easy to clean.
    • Defrost System: Most units use automatic defrost. Make sure the system fits your usage and doesn't cause temperature spikes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What temperature should a commercial reach-in freezer be set to?

    A commercial reach-in freezer needs to hold 0°F or below at all times. Health codes require frozen food to stay at 0°F or colder. If your kitchen runs hot, make sure the freezer can keep temperature under a full load.

    What is the difference between a walk-in freezer and a reach-in freezer?

    A reach-in freezer is an upright cabinet you open to grab items. A walk-in is a room you enter for bulk storage. Reach-ins go on or near the line for quick access. Walk-ins are for holding large amounts of product longer term.

    What is the difference between a 1, 2, and 3 door commercial reach-in freezer?

    Door count sets the storage and footprint. 1 door is compact for small kitchens or stations. 2 doors fit most restaurants. 3 doors are for high-volume kitchens that need lots of frozen storage and fast access during service.
