Why this upright fridge earns its place
The Polar U-Series UA091 is a 650-litre single-door upright cabinet built for kitchens that need flexibility over fixed function — at the touch of a button it switches between full refrigerator and freezer operation, so the same footprint can hold fresh produce one week and frozen stock the next. It's aimed at busy commercial kitchens that would otherwise need two separate cabinets to cover both jobs.
That flexibility spans a genuinely wide working range of -22 to +8°C, backed by a forced air cooling system that recovers quickly after door openings. Net capacity is 408 litres over four adjustable shelves, with the stamped stainless steel interior accepting both direct loading and full-size 1/1 and 2/1 gastronorm trays without needing separate guides. Energy Class B rating puts annual consumption at 956.3 kWh, with an EEI of 27.5%, running on R290 refrigerant through a standard 220-240V supply.
Construction is stainless steel throughout, with 100mm insulation holding temperature even when ambient conditions reach up to 40°C — the unit is rated to climate class 5. A self-closing, reversible, lockable door helps cut running costs and improve security, while automatic electronic defrost keeps performance consistent without manual attention. The user-friendly digital controller with LED display makes day-to-day operation straightforward, and lockable castors allow the 138kg cabinet to be repositioned for cleaning. It's backed by 2 years parts and labour warranty.
