Why this counter fridge earns its place
The Polar U-Series UA108 is built for prep areas where chilled storage needs to sit directly in the working line. The mixed layout gives you one hinged-door section with a shelf for held stock, plus two gastronorm-compatible drawers for ingredients that are reached repeatedly during service. At 1360mm wide, 700mm deep and 860mm high, it gives a counter-height worktop without taking the footprint of a full upright cabinet.
The cabinet is specified with 142 litres of net chilled volume and a supplier-listed 314 litre capacity, so it is best understood as a compact prep counter with useful divided access rather than bulk coldroom storage. Stainless steel construction gives the worktop and cabinet the durability expected in a commercial kitchen, while the easy-clean design and digital controls named by Polar suit day-to-day kitchen operation.
Forced-air cooling supports the -2 to +8 °C temperature range, with R600a refrigerant and climate class 4 performance specified. The UA108 carries a B energy class, with energy use listed at 1.72 kWh per 24 hours or 628 kWh per year, and the 300 W rated input runs from a standard 220-240V supply.
