Why this upright fridge earns its place
The Liebherr FRFCVG 4001 is a heavy-duty single door upright refrigerator built for everyday commercial use — restaurants and food service operations that need dependable chilled storage rather than a domestic-grade compromise. Its 289 litres of net capacity are organised across six adjustable shelves, giving genuine flexibility to arrange stock rather than stacking it. A reversible door means it can be fitted hinge-left or hinge-right to suit the kitchen layout.
Internally the cabinet measures a tall 1642mm high by 460mm wide by 423mm deep, and the forced air cooling system maintains an even -2°C to +15°C operating range throughout — precise enough for controlled chilled storage rather than borderline temperatures. It's rated to perform correctly at ambient temperatures up to 40°C and 40% relative humidity, a genuine consideration for a fridge sited in a hot kitchen environment. Energy Class C rating and 540.2 kWh a year keep running costs measured; run the figure through the energy label decoder tool below against your own tariff.
Refrigeration runs on R600a, the low-GWP hydrocarbon refrigerant standard for units this size, backed by automatic defrost that removes a routine maintenance task from the kitchen's to-do list. Each of the six shelves measures 460mm x 423mm and carries up to 45kg, and the door is lockable for stock security. At 90kg gross weight and on a standard 220-240V supply, it's straightforward to site and connect. Liebherr backs the unit with 2 years parts and labour cover.
