Why this counter fridge earns its place
The Polar U-Series UA087 is a three-door counter fridge/freezer built for kitchens that need serious under-counter storage without compromising on flexibility. Its right-hand compartment switches between refrigerator and freezer operation at the touch of a button, so one counter can run as three fridge sections or split its capacity across chilled and frozen stock depending on the day's menu.
Cooling is delivered by a forced air system holding a working range of -2 to +8°C, backed by auto defrost and 60mm insulation to keep running costs down. Net capacity runs to 161 litres over six shelves — three per compartment — drawing 480W on a 220-240V supply. The unit carries an Energy Class C rating at 1116.9 kWh a year, with an EEI of 46.0%, reflecting the extra compartment and capacity over the smaller two-door version in the range.
Build quality is stainless steel inside and out, standing up to daily wear in a busy pass, with self-closing doors that reduce standby losses and improve kitchen safety. The digital controller keeps temperature management simple, and lockable castors allow the unit to be repositioned for cleaning while remaining stable during service. Gross weight is 153.5kg, and it's backed by 2 years parts and labour warranty.
