Why this upright fridge earns its place
The Polar U-Series UA052 is a double-door upright fridge for bulk chilled storage in commercial kitchens, bars and prep areas. Its advertised 1300-litre format translates to 954 litres usable capacity across six adjustable shelves, giving larger sites a single cabinet for organised chilled stockholding.
Hinged doors, 2/1 gastronorm compatibility and forced-air cooling provide a familiar storage layout for boxed ingredients, prepared food and service stock. Polar also lists stainless steel construction throughout, 90mm insulation, auto defrost, a digital controller with LED display, removable magnetic seals and self-closing lockable doors.
The cabinet operates from -2 to +8 °C and is described by Polar as reliable in ambient temperatures up to 40°C. It is 1420mm wide, 875mm deep and 2090mm high, with 360 W rated input, A energy class and 526 kWh/year listed energy consumption. The climate class value is conflicted, so the page should rely on the stated ambient-temperature claim instead of a fixed class number.
