How to choose a countertop batch freezer
Gelato only or multifunction
If you only freeze, a Labo XPL P is simple and focused; if you also cook creams and chocolate, look at ReadyChef or Lab O Chef 5.
Batch size
Choose the minimum and maximum per cycle that suit your menu; small batches keep flavours fresh.
Bench space and power
Measure the bench, allow airflow around the machine and check the power supply.
Who runs it
Pre-set programs and consistency control make results repeatable for staff on any shift.
