Why this counter freezer earns its place
The Polar U-Series UA071 two door counter freezer brings the same energy-focused, heavy-duty design as its fridge sibling to frozen storage, aimed at the busiest, most demanding kitchens rather than light-duty use. Stainless steel construction runs through the interior and exterior, with a 1/1 gastronorm compatible interior for trays to slide directly in.
Usable capacity is 204 litres across two adjustable shelves, in a 281-litre-class cabinet. Forced air cooling holds a firm -22 to -10°C even with doors opened continuously through service, and the compressor is positioned to shorten the cold air's travel distance, improving temperature reliability under sustained heavy use. Drawing 480W, the counter runs on R290 and is rated Climate Class 5.
Energy Class C consumption sits at 1643.2kWh a year (EEI 46.0) — the honest cost of holding sub-zero temperatures in a compact counter format rather than a chilled equivalent. Automatic electric defrost maintains performance without manual attention, self-closing doors reduce running costs, and a digital controller gives a constant readout.
