03 / PROBLEMS IT SOLVES

What Problems Hoshizaki Actually Solves

A self-contained machine puts ice production and integral storage in one unit. A modular head makes ice above a separately selected storage or dispensing arrangement, while workbench refrigeration places chilled or frozen ingredients beneath the work surface.

04 / AUDIENCE

Who it's for

A great fit for

Bars, cafés and hotels can choose the ice format and storage arrangement around beverage service. Kitchens can choose workbench, upright and sushi-display refrigeration around the loading and serving task.

Strengths & limits

Hoshizaki spans ice production, ice storage and refrigerated cabinets. The machine’s daily production and the bin’s stored weight describe different parts of the ice station.

08 / SUITABILITY

How to specify

For ice, put the busiest service draw, ice form and usable stored quantity on one plan. For refrigeration, put the exact cabinet dimensions, containers and door or drawer movements on the station plan.

09 / ROI

Running cost & ROI

016 / WARRANTY

Warranty is set per product family, not per brand

Published warranty statements, Hoshizaki Australia (hoshizaki.com.au/warranty/), accessed 6 August 2026. Hoshizaki does not have one warranty. If someone quotes you a single figure for the brand, they are quoting the wrong family. KM / KMD / IM ice machines — 3 years parts and labour on the entire unit; 5 years parts and labour on the evaporator; 5 years parts-only on compressor and air-cooled condenser coil FM and DCM series — 2 years parts and labour on the entire unit; 5 years parts-only on compressor and air-cooled condenser DB dispensers — 2 years parts and labour Refrigeration and freezers — 2 years parts and labour Ice storage bins — 1 year Sushi cabinets — 1 year parts and labour Hoshizaki also offers an extension on registration: an additional 6 months on an ice machine, or 12 months on a refrigeration or freezer product. That extension is conditional on registering the unit within Hoshizaki's stated window. It is not automatic, so do not assume it when comparing warranty terms, and register promptly if you want it. The practical point: an ice machine and its storage bin are usually bought together and carry 3 years and 1 year respectively. Budget for that difference rather than discovering it at year two.
