Our read & the right size
At 8.51 kWh/day, the Continental 2FN runs in the less-efficient 67% of the 114 comparable 2-door reach-in freezers we track — about $77/yr over the median.
A two-door reach-in freezer (~43 cu ft) is the standard for a line that holds meaningful frozen inventory without a walk-in freezer. Watch energy use — freezers cost roughly double a fridge to run.
43.45 cu ft is roughly 2.2× a typical home refrigerator — about 22 full sheet pans or ~36 cases of product (varies with shelving).
