Why this prep counter earns its place
The Polar U-Series UA089 is a ventilated two-door counter fridge measuring 870(H) x 903(W) x 700(D)mm, built for kitchens that need reliable chilled storage and a stainless steel work surface in one compact footprint. It's an energy-efficient option for daily use in busy professional kitchens, with a total case capacity of 257 litres across two compartments.
Forced air cooling holds a working range of +2 to +8°C, with net storage of 150 litres over two shelves and two floor protectors. The system is rated to climate class 4 and, per the manufacturer, runs reliably at ambient temperatures up to 40°C. Energy Class A puts annual consumption at 299.3 kWh, drawing just 80W on a 220-240V supply — an EEI of 13.8%, among the more efficient figures in the counter fridge range. Full-size 1/1 gastronorm trays slide straight in without needing extra runners.
The cabinet carries 45mm insulation to help maximise cooling efficiency, and interior fans auto-stop when the door opens, cutting energy waste and protecting the internal temperature during service. A digital controller gives a clear temperature display, and the unit sits on castors for straightforward repositioning during cleaning or installation. Gross weight is 83kg, and it runs on R600a refrigerant, backed by 2 years parts and labour warranty.
