Why this upright freezer earns its place
The Polar U-Series UA053 double door upright freezer is built for kitchens that need serious frozen capacity without splitting it across multiple smaller units. At 1300-litre class with 954 litres usable, it's one of the larger upright freezers in the range, sized for high-volume food service.
Usable capacity is 954 litres across adjustable shelving, with the interior 2/1 gastronorm compatible so shelves can be swapped for GN trays as needed. Forced air cooling ensures consistent temperature distribution throughout the cabinet at -22 to -18°C, and the digital control panel gives constant temperature monitoring without needing to open either door. The unit is rated Climate Class 5, built to hold performance in ambient kitchen conditions up to 40°C.
Stainless steel construction runs throughout, refrigerant is R290, and the freezer draws 480W through 90mm of insulation for efficient operation. Auto-defrost maintains performance, self-closing lockable doors help preserve both energy and security, and removable magnetic door gaskets make cleaning and maintenance straightforward. Heavy-duty lockable castors handle the 208kg gross weight for easy positioning. It's backed by a 2-year parts and labour warranty.
