Nine Drawers, Six Drawers, or Both With an Upstand?
Nine Drawers, Six Drawers, or Both With an Upstand? New Blizzard Counter Fridges Explained.
We’ve just added three new Blizzard counter refrigerators to the site. All three share the same reliable HBC platform, configured differently to suit different kitchens.
Nine Drawers, No Upstand
The Blizzard HBC3NU-333 Nine Drawer Counter Refrigerator suits kitchens that want maximum organisation without an upstand. Nine individual refrigerated drawers let you separate ingredients by type or service, cutting down time spent hunting for stock mid-service. Stainless steel inside and out, it holds a steady temperature throughout thanks to ventilated cooling, ducted air distribution and a Dixell digital controller.
Six Drawers, With Upstand
The Blizzard HBC3-222 Six Drawer Counter Refrigerator with Upstand takes a different approach. Six refrigerated drawers still keep ingredients sorted and close to hand, but the standout feature here is the integrated rear upstand. It stops spills running down behind the unit, protects the wall, and makes the full stainless steel top genuinely usable as a prep surface.
Nine Drawers, With Upstand
The Blizzard HBC3-333 Nine Drawer Counter Refrigerator with Upstand combines both. Nine drawers give maximum storage separation, while the same protective rear upstand as the six-drawer version keeps the wall and worktop clean. It’s the choice for kitchens wanting maximum organisation and a fully protected prep surface in one unit.
What They Have in Common
Every model in this range uses 304 stainless steel construction, automatic defrost, rounded internal corners for easier cleaning, and heavy-duty castors for repositioning without a fight. A 3-year warranty comes as standard across the board.
Which One Should You Choose?
Two questions settle it: how much drawer separation do you need, and do you need the upstand? Go for the HBC3NU-333 if you want maximum drawers without an upstand. Choose the HBC3-222 instead if splash protection matters more than drawer count. Pick the HBC3-333 if you want both.
