Why this upright freezer earns its place
The CD083 is a single-door upright freezer from Polar's C-Series, built for commercial kitchens that need reliable frozen storage without a large footprint. It holds prepped batches, frozen ingredients and overflow deliveries in one full-height cabinet—258 litres net across six shelves—keeping the main store free. The compact 600 mm width suits a kitchen where floor space is tight.
As an upright, stock sits at eye and hand height, so it rotates quickly and staff can find what they need at a glance. It reaches -25 to -10 °C and holds temperature through service in a self-contained stainless steel cabinet with 60 mm insulation. At 1855 mm tall and 74 kg, it's a lighter option than larger uprights and still clears most standard doorways.
It's a floor-standing cabinet designed to slot into a back-of-house run. Running cost averages 2.45 kWh per day, or 894 kWh annually, making it energy efficient for its class. Check the listed external dimensions and weight against your doorways and delivery route before you order, and leave clearance at the back for airflow. It comes with a two-year warranty on parts and labour.
