Why this display freezer earns its place
The Polar GM499 is a display chest freezer from the G-Series range, designed to put frozen stock in front of shoppers rather than tucked away in a back-of-house freezer. The chest format lets customers reach straight in, which makes it a natural home for frozen impulse lines — ice cream, novelties and grab-and-go frozen goods — on a convenience floor, in a farm shop or beside a café till. At 270 litres capacity with a 928 mm height and 1195 mm width, it sits comfortably on a shop floor without dominating floor space.
On the efficiency side it carries an energy class C rating and uses 1131 kWh per year, the figures that feed directly into what the freezer costs to run on your electricity tariff. Drop that class and the annual kWh from its energy label into the energy label decoder and it will turn them into pounds per year on your own tariff, so you can budget the freezer before it lands. At 250 W rated input, it suits a standard 13 A circuit.
The GM499 is a freestanding cabinet built to merchandise on the shop floor rather than for bulk back-of-house storage, with a white steel body and sliding glass lid mounted on castors for easy repositioning. It runs at -24 to -18 °C and operates at 42 dB(A), quiet enough for front-of-house use.
