Innovative Undercounter Refrigeration
Have you seen the new UPR 503 from Liebherr Appliances?
Liebherr’s new undercounter refrigerator features a full front panel design with self-retracting pull-out glass shelves on full-extension glides.
“These refrigerators provide designers with alternative design options for smaller kitchens or other living spaces, while offering the same or better storage options than that of a full-size refrigerator – all for added convenience on hand. Like all Liebherr refrigerators, the UPR 503 combines the best of both worlds – design with functionality. No high-end kitchen should go without.” – Josef Steigmiller, VP of the Americas Refrigerators and Freezers Division
The UPR 503 can be adjusted in height so when I design custom panels for my clients they can match in height with surrounding cabinetry for a seamless look. The picture above shows a handleless panel with a back bevel.
MSRP for the UPR 503 is $2,199.00 which puts it on par with other luxury undercounter appliances from manufacturers like Sub-Zero.
The door compartment for tall bottles is convenient. This is a nice alternative for homeowners who do not want the two drawer configuration or a unit with just fixed shelves.
