Refrigerator Sharp SJ-UE088T0W-EU 88 L, white, upright single-door

Sharp SJ-UE088T0W-EU is a compact upright single-door refrigerator with an 88 L net capacity in a white finish. Intended for small kitchens, offices or as a secondary fridge, this freestanding appliance offers direct-cooling refrigeration and a small internal freezer compartment for short-term preservation of fresh and frozen items. The model features a built-in handle, mechanical thermostat control and upper LED interior lighting for basic, user-friendly operation.

Advantages

The refrigerator's compact footprint and 821 mm height make it suitable for limited spaces where a full-size fridge is unnecessary. Direct cooling provides simple, energy-efficient temperature control and automatic defrost for the refrigerator compartment reduces maintenance. Toughened glass shelving and three door balconies help organise bottles, jars and small containers, while a single drawer offers a designated space for fruits and vegetables.

Suitable for

• Small apartments and studio kitchens
• Office kitchenettes or staff rooms
• Secondary or seasonal use in homes (garage, guest room)
• Student accommodation and temporary housing

When it may not be suitable

This refrigerator may not be suitable for households that require large storage capacity or extensive frozen food storage because of its limited net volume and small internal freezer. It is also rated in energy class E, so buyers prioritising the highest energy efficiency may prefer larger models with better efficiency ratings.

How to use

Use the tempered glass shelf and door balconies to organise food, and store fresh produce in the drawer. Follow the user manual for recommended temperature settings and automatic defrost behaviour.

• Available installation space and door swing — confirm dimensions (480 × 500 × 821 mm) and reversible door if needed
• Required storage capacity for daily needs — 88 L total with approx. 77 L fridge volume
• Energy class E and annual consumption around 108 kWh — compare if energy efficiency is a priority
• Noise level of 41 dB — consider placement if quiet operation is required
• Climate class T/SN — suitable for typical room temperatures within that range

Usage recommendations

To ensure efficient operation, avoid overloading the fridge, keep vents clear for airflow, and position frequently used items at convenient heights. Defrost and clean according to the manual schedule and set the thermostat to maintain a steady temperature for food safety.
