Hisense SD-301 | 301L Gross Capacity | Curved Sliding Glass Lids | R600a Refrigerant | Castor Wheels
A walk-up frozen dessert showcase that keeps tubs, cones and lollies visible, cold and ready for impulse buyers in busy aisles.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Hisense SD-301, a 301-litre ice cream display chest freezer with curved sliding glass lids, sells at Mascom International for KSh 67,000, brand new and sealed. Every Hisense SD-301 runs on R600a hydrocarbon refrigerant, holds stock in internal wire baskets and rolls on castor wheels. Rearranging an aisle takes minutes, not a team of porters. The white body carries the Hisense ice-graphic front panel, which tells shoppers what sits inside before they reach the glass. Collect yours from Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Built for supermarket frozen aisles, estate minimarts, ice cream parlours and the retail partners that distributors supply, the Hisense SD-301 solves a stubborn sales problem. A solid-lid chest freezer hides its stock, and a shopper who cannot see a cone rarely lifts a lid to hunt for one. Through the glass top of the Hisense SD-301, tubs, cones, frozen yoghurt cups and ice lollies stay on show all day. Minimarts in Kasarani, Rongai and Kitengela can park it beside the till, where impulse buys happen, then lock it at closing time.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops treat freezers as a side line, Mascom International lets you test the lid action, castors and lock in person before paying. The 301-litre gross capacity sits between compact kiosk units and long supermarket islands. That suits a shop selling ice cream daily with one aisle end to spare. Shop owners across Nairobi tell us that visible stock outsells hidden stock, and sliding glass makes that visibility automatic. Ask on WhatsApp for a same-day Nairobi delivery slot, and the Hisense SD-301 can be standing in your shop by evening.
Common Questions About the Hisense SD-301
Is the Hisense SD-301 worth KSh 67,000 for a supermarket frozen aisle?
Yes, for a shop that sells frozen desserts every day, the Hisense SD-301 earns its KSh 67,000 through visibility. Spread over two years of trading, the price works out to about KSh 92 per day, a figure a busy frozen aisle covers with a few daily sales. The curved glass lids let customers browse without opening anything, which keeps cold air in and tempts passing shoppers. Supermarkets in Kenya that place a glass-top unit at the aisle end give ice cream a spot shoppers actually notice.
How many ice cream tubs fit inside the Hisense SD-301?
In theory, 301 litres of gross space equals about 600 half-litre tubs or 150 two-litre family tubs, before baskets and airflow gaps. Real loads run lower, because cold air must circulate and stock packed to the brim warms faster. Fill the internal wire baskets with fast sellers and keep bulk cartons underneath. For a distributor's retail partner receiving weekly drops, the Hisense SD-301 takes a full mixed delivery with room left to rotate older stock forward.
Can ice-lolly and frozen yoghurt sellers run mixed stock in the Hisense SD-301?
Yes, the Hisense SD-301 handles mixed frozen stock well, provided each product line gets its own basket. Ice lollies, frozen yoghurt cups, sorbet and family tubs share one cabinet under a single adjustable temperature control. Keep lollies in the top baskets where children spot them first, and place frozen yoghurt near the glass so parents can read labels. Sellers outside schools and along busy beach fronts benefit most, because a queue chooses quickly without anyone holding a lid open.
How does the Hisense SD-301 cope with Kenya Power outages and coastal heat?
The Hisense SD-301 keeps stock frozen through short Kenya Power interruptions when the glass lids stay shut, since a full cabinet holds cold longer than a half-empty one. Low-E glass on the sliding lids limits heat gain from shop lighting and warm afternoons, which matters in Mombasa and Malindi shops. Fit a freezer-rated voltage protector, because surges when supply returns can damage any compressor. The 220-240V 50Hz rating matches Kenyan mains directly, so no converter is needed.
Should I choose the Hisense SD-301 or the smaller 213L Hisense FC29DD4SB?
Choose the Hisense SD-301 when ice cream is a daily line with several brands and family tubs, and pick the 213L Hisense FC29DD4SB for a small kiosk with a narrow floor. The SD-301 adds 88 litres of gross space, roughly 41 percent more, which means a wider brand range and fewer empty baskets on weekends. Both are stocked at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. Measure your aisle and doorway first, since castors only help once the freezer is inside.
How do I defrost the Hisense SD-301, and how often?
The Hisense SD-301 uses manual defrost with an integrated drain, so you switch it off, unload it and let meltwater run out through the drain. Defrost whenever frost on the cabinet walls grows thicker than a coin, because heavy ice wastes cooling power and shrinks usable space. Schedule it for a slow morning, move stock into cooler boxes, and dry the glass lids before restarting. Manual defrost keeps the mechanism simple, leaving fewer parts to fail in a busy shop.
Does the Hisense SD-301 suit a distributor placing freezers with retail partners?
Yes, the Hisense SD-301 suits distributors who place freezers with retail partners, because the lock and castors protect both the stock and the unit. The lockable lid secures product overnight in shared shop spaces, while castors let a partner move the freezer for cleaning or a better spot. The Hisense ice-graphic front panel signals frozen desserts from across the room. Distributors ordering several units can have Mascom International deliver straight to each partner shop, paying on arrival at each address.
Who should buy the Hisense SD-301, and who should skip it?
Buy the Hisense SD-301 if you sell frozen desserts to walk-in customers and want the stock to sell itself: supermarkets, minimarts, parlours, petrol station shops and lolly vendors all fit. Skip it if you mainly store meat, fish or bulk household food, because a solid-lid chest freezer insulates better for stock nobody needs to see. A tiny kiosk with little floor space should look at the 213L Hisense FC29DD4SB instead. Mascom International staff will match a unit to your floor and stock.
Technical Specifications
Cooling System and Temperature Control
- Heavy-duty compressor provides steady cooling for shops where customers slide the lids open all day long.
- R600a hydrocarbon refrigerant cools efficiently and carries a lower environmental impact than older refrigerant gases used in budget freezers.
- Adjustable temperature control lets you run colder for hard-pack ice cream or slightly warmer for easier scooping in parlours.
- Manual defrost with integrated drain keeps the cooling system simple, with fewer moving parts to fail during trading hours.
- Energy-efficient design helps keep the monthly electricity bill predictable for a cabinet that runs around the clock, every day.
Storage Capacity and Load Planning
- 301 litres gross capacity, sized for shops selling several ice cream brands alongside lollies, cones and frozen yoghurt.
- Internal wire baskets separate fast sellers from bulk stock, so staff restock quickly without digging through the whole cabinet.
- Chest format keeps cold air settled low inside, so less cooling escapes each time a customer slides a lid.
- Deep cabinet takes bulk cartons from distributor deliveries below the baskets, cutting trips to a back-room storage freezer.
- Gross capacity counts the full cabinet shell, so usable load volume sits slightly lower once baskets are fitted.
Display Glass and Merchandising
- Curved sliding glass lids show every product from above, so shoppers choose before they touch the freezer at all.
- Low-E coated glass reflects heat away from the cabinet, limiting warm-up from shop lighting and afternoon sun through windows.
- Sliding lids never swing out into the aisle, which suits narrow minimart floors and crowded queues at the till.
- Hisense ice-graphic front panel advertises frozen desserts from across the shop, drawing children and impulse buyers toward the glass.
- Interior LED lighting makes colourful packaging stand out after sunset and in dim aisle corners where stock gets overlooked.
- White body keeps the cabinet bright and clean-looking beside any ice cream brand's posters, stickers and price cards.
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Durable white steel body resists knocks from shopping baskets, delivery crates and daily mopping around the base.
- Lockable lid secures stock overnight in shared stalls, petrol station shops and open-front kiosks without a separate padlock.
- Castor wheels let one person roll the freezer out for floor cleaning, pest control visits or seasonal repositioning.
- Glass lids glide on tracks instead of hinges, removing the hinge wear that loosens solid freezer lids over the years.
- Integrated defrost drain channels meltwater out neatly, protecting shop floors and the cabinet base from standing water.
Power Supply and Installation
- Rated 220-240V at 50Hz, matching Kenyan mains supply directly with no transformer, converter or rewiring required at all.
- Connect to a dedicated wall socket and avoid extension boards shared with cookers, kettles or other heavy appliances.
- Pair with a freezer-rated voltage protector to shield the compressor from surges when power returns after an outage.
- Leave clearance around the sides and rear so the cabinet sheds heat freely and the compressor works less hard.
- Works on generator backup when output holds steady at 220-240V, useful in markets with frequent supply interruptions.
Hygiene and Routine Care
- Keep stock below the basket rims so the glass lids close fully and cold air circulates evenly around products.
- Clean the lid tracks weekly with a damp cloth so the glass keeps sliding freely and closes snugly every time.
- Wipe the glass with mild soap and a soft cloth, since abrasive pads scratch the coating and cloud the view.
- Defrost on a quiet morning: switch off, unload into cooler boxes, open the drain, then wipe the interior dry.
- Check the lid lock and keys monthly, because a sticking lock at closing time leaves stock unsecured overnight.
