Hisense FC27DD is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 55,500, a 201-litre ice cream freezer with a Low-E glass lid, LED interior light, three wire baskets and a lock and key. Every unit is brand new and sealed in factory packaging. The Hisense FC27DD runs on R600a refrigerant, with a mechanical thermostat, a rapid-freeze option and an external temperature display. Walk in to Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD to see it running. Prefer delivery? Pay-on-arrival shipping covers all 47 counties, so an eatery in Nyeri or Kisumu can order without a trip to town.
Designed for restaurant owners, cafe operators and hospitality managers, the Hisense FC27DD solves a problem every lunch rush exposes. With a solid lid, a cook opens the freezer, digs for sausages, and lets cold air pour out while orders pile up. The glass top shows every basket before anyone lifts it, so staff reach straight for the right carton. Chips joints along Tom Mboya Street and the Thika Road stages run exactly this way. Three wire baskets inside the Hisense FC27DD keep chips, chicken portions and ice cream apart, and the lock stops stock walking out after closing.
No other freezer in this price band from Kenya's electronics retailers pairs a see-through Low-E lid with interior LED lighting and a lock. Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International plugs in and demonstrates the Hisense FC27DD at our Kimathi Street store, so you check the thermostat and lid before paying. Caterers and cafe owners across Nairobi tell us that seeing stock levels at a glance cuts the time staff spend searching. Visit Monday to Saturday between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM, or WhatsApp +254 708 852 521 to reserve a unit today.
Common Questions About the Hisense FC27DD
Who should buy the Hisense FC27DD and who should skip it?
The Hisense FC27DD suits restaurants, cafes, fast-food outlets and ice cream counters that open the freezer dozens of times during service. Its glass lid, LED light and lock serve a working kitchen better than a home. Families storing a monthly meat order should skip it, because a solid-lid model holds cold longer and costs less. The Hisense FC198SH from Mascom International is the better household pick. Outlets needing chilled drinks as well as frozen stock should look at the dual-mode Hisense FC245HS instead.
Hisense FC27DD vs Hisense FC245HS, which suits a restaurant better?
The Hisense FC27DD wins where speed and visibility matter, while the Hisense FC245HS wins on space and flexibility. The FC27DD gives you a 201-litre cabinet under a glass lid with interior lighting, so staff spot stock instantly. The FC245HS offers 245 litres, 44 litres more, behind a solid lid, and switches between freezer and cooler modes. A chips-and-chicken outlet grabbing frozen portions all evening gains more from the glass top. A cafe that wants one unit chilling sodas should choose the FC245HS at Mascom International.
How does the glass lid on the Hisense FC27DD help during a lunch rush?
The Hisense FC27DD's Low-E glass lid lets your cook find the right basket before opening it, which shortens every opening. Low-E glass carries a thin coating that reflects heat, so a clear lid does not turn the cabinet into a warm display box. The LED interior light makes cartons readable in a dim kitchen corner or a back store. Fewer seconds with the lid up means less warm air enters, less frost forms, and the compressor works less between orders.
How does the Hisense FC27DD handle Kenya Power outages?
The Hisense FC27DD keeps its contents frozen through a typical short outage if nobody opens the lid. Its insulated chest design traps cold air at the bottom, where it stays when the door is closed. During a blackout, put a sign on the lid and serve from stock already on the counter. Plug the freezer into a voltage protector, because the surge when power returns damages compressors. Mascom International stocks suitable voltage guards at our Nairobi CBD store, so you can buy both together.
Can the Hisense FC27DD keep sodas and juices chilled instead of frozen?
The Hisense FC27DD is built as a freezer, so it is not the right unit for keeping bottled drinks cold without freezing them. Its adjustable mechanical thermostat changes how cold it runs, but it targets frozen storage for ice cream, chicken and chips. Restaurants wanting one frozen section and one chilled drinks section usually run two units. Pair the FC27DD for frozen stock with a beverage cooler, or choose the Hisense FC245HS, which switches into cooler mode, from Mascom International.
How much stock fits in the Hisense FC27DD's 201 litres?
The Hisense FC27DD's 201-litre gross capacity holds slightly fewer than 201 one-litre ice cream tubs, because baskets and airflow space take some room. In practice, three wire baskets sit along the top for items you grab most, such as sausages, burger patties and portioned chips. Bulk cartons of frozen chicken pieces go underneath. A small cafe restocking twice a week finds this enough. A busy outlet ordering in bulk once a week may outgrow it and should compare larger Hisense models first.
Does the Hisense FC27DD need defrosting, and how do I do it?
The Hisense FC27DD uses manual defrost, so you clear the ice yourself whenever frost builds up visibly on the inner walls. Pick a quiet morning before service, move stock into cooler boxes, switch off, and leave the lid open until the ice softens. Wipe the cabinet dry and switch back on before reloading. Thick frost steals usable space and makes the compressor work harder, so regular defrosting keeps running costs down. Restaurants in Mombasa's humid heat tend to need this more often.
Is the Hisense FC27DD worth KSh 55,500 for a food business in Kenya?
The Hisense FC27DD costs about KSh 152 a day across its first year, and about KSh 76 a day over two years. For a fast-food outlet, that is less than the margin on one plate of chips. You also get a lock against stock losses and a glass lid that speeds service. Mascom International accepts Lipa na M-Pesa payment on collection or delivery, so the cost moves through your business till like any other supplier payment.
Technical Specifications
Capacity and Storage Layout
- 201-litre gross capacity holds a working week of frozen stock for a cafe or small takeaway restocking twice weekly.
- Chest-style cabinet keeps cold air pooled at the base, so less escapes each time the lid lifts.
- Three wire baskets sit at the top, holding fast-moving items like sausages and patties within easy reach.
- Open lower section takes bulk cartons of chicken, chips and ice cream tubs stacked neatly underneath.
- Baskets lift out fully, which makes stock rotation simple during weekly cleaning or a supplier delivery.
- Top-loading access suits a counter-height workstation, so a cook reaches baskets without bending far between orders.
Low-E Glass Lid and Visibility
- Low-E glass lid shows contents through the top, so staff choose items before opening the freezer at all.
- Heat-reflective Low-E coating limits warm air gain through the glass, protecting ice cream texture behind a clear top.
- Adjustable hinge holds the lid steady while loading, freeing both hands for heavy cartons and trays.
- Clear top lets you check stock levels at closing time without opening, helping plan the next order.
- Visible ice cream tubs encourage impulse sales when the freezer stands near a counter facing customers.
- Glass surface wipes clean with a damp cloth, keeping the display looking presentable through a greasy service day.
Cooling System and Temperature Control
- R600a refrigerant is an efficient, lower-impact gas widely used in modern freezers, keeping power draw modest.
- Mechanical thermostat uses a simple dial, so any staff member adjusts the setting without reading a manual.
- Rapid-freeze option pulls warm deliveries down quickly, protecting stock already inside from partial thawing.
- Fan motor moves cold air around the cabinet, helping even temperatures reach corners and basket edges.
- Condenser sits inside the cabinet walls, so there are no exposed coils to collect kitchen grease and dust.
- External temperature display shows cabinet conditions at a glance, useful for food safety checks during inspections.
Defrosting and Daily Maintenance
- Manual defrost keeps the design simple, with fewer components that can fail inside a busy kitchen.
- Defrost whenever frost forms visibly, because thick ice reduces usable space and raises electricity use.
- Smooth interior walls wipe clean quickly after defrosting, supporting hygiene standards county health officers check.
- Removable baskets wash separately in a sink, keeping spilt sauces and melted ice cream off the cabinet floor.
- Mechanical controls avoid fragile circuit boards, which matters in kitchens with steam, heat and frequent spills.
Security and Interior Lighting
- Lock and key secures stock overnight, reducing losses in shared premises or outlets with several shift workers.
- Lockable lid lets owners control who restocks and who serves, keeping portion counts accurate.
- Built-in LED lighting brightens the cabinet so staff read labels in dim back rooms or late-evening shifts.
- LED lights draw little power and run cool, so they add almost nothing to the cabinet's heat load.
- Lit glass top turns the freezer into a visible display, drawing attention to desserts near the till.
Power and Kenyan Business Conditions
- Energy-efficient design helps keep monthly electricity bills manageable for a business running the freezer around the clock.
- Low-noise operation suits cafes and restaurants where the freezer stands close to seated customers.
- Plugs into a standard Kenyan wall socket, so no special wiring is needed when you set it up.
- Use a voltage protector to shield the compressor from surges when power returns after an outage, protecting your investment.
- Keep the unit away from deep fryers and grills, because radiant kitchen heat forces the compressor to run longer.
- Leave space behind and beside the cabinet for airflow, which keeps the compressor cooler in hot kitchens.
