Undercounter & Countertop Freezer -20°C, 1.5 cu.ft., Manual Defrost Overview
The Undercounter & Countertop Freezer -20°C, 1.5 cu.ft., Manual Defrost (model UCF000) is a compact laboratory freezer from Yamato Scientific, supplied by LabSupplies.com as an authorized dealer. Rated at 1.5 cubic feet of usable volume, this upright unit holds a -20°C / -4°F setpoint for pharmacy and lab cold storage.
A white powder-coated steel cabinet encloses a steel interior fitted with one fixed shelf behind a solid, keyed-lockable door. Cooling runs on a hermetic compressor and R600a refrigerant, with gravity-flow air circulation governed by a mechanical dial thermostat. Urethane-foam insulation (US EPA / SNAP approved) surrounds the chamber, and a 3/8" access port routes external probes.
Power draws from a 115V, 60 Hz, single-phase supply through a NEMA 5-15 plug. Four leveling legs seat the 18.5" × 19.5" × 19.5" cabinet on a benchtop or beneath a counter. Manufactured in China and UL Listed, the freezer ships at 150 lb and accepts an optional chart recorder or cold-safety gloves.

How to Choose the Right Undercounter Fridge/Freezer
Specifying an undercounter freezer means matching internal volume, target temperature, and site power to the materials you store and the space you have. Use the criteria below to confirm fit .
- Capacity: 1.5 cu.ft. suits modest sample loads; verify your inventory footprint against the 14" × 13.25" × 14.5" interior.
- Temperature range: the -20°C / -4°F rating fits reagents, samples, and pharmacy stock that require frozen storage but not ultra-low temperatures.
- Control type: a mechanical dial thermostat gives simple manual adjustment; pair it with the access port if you need independent temperature logging.
- Voltage: confirm a standard 115V, 60 Hz, single-phase outlet with a NEMA 5-15 receptacle is available at the install point.
- Footprint: the 18.5" × 19.5" × 19.5" cabinet and four leveling legs allow benchtop or under-counter placement in tight labs.
- Security: the keyed-lockable solid door matters where controlled or sensitive materials are stored.
