Why this counter fridges/freezer earns its place
The DA994 is a dual-temperature drawer unit holding 2 x 1/1 gastronorm pans (78 litres gross, 51 litres usable). One cabinet you can task as a fridge (running to +10°C) or a freezer (to -20°C) depending on the day. It sits under the counter as a single pull-out drawer, keeping either chilled prep or frozen stock at the make line.
Built to climate class 5 for warm kitchens, it's the most compact single-drawer option at 905mm wide and 605mm tall. The D energy rating (4.85 kWh per 24 hours) is the best in this range, consuming only 240W at 230V. That efficiency comes partly from the smaller volume and the R290 refrigerant. Set it to chilled for working prep, or to frozen for held product, and the drawer keeps the contents to hand where the cook is standing. Allow time for the cabinet to reach the new temperature after switching between duties.
It slots into a counter run rather than standing on the floor, weighing 72kg and sitting at counter height on castors. Plan your worktop height and the width of the gap in your run before ordering.
