Our read & the right size
At 1.94 kWh/day, the FWE R-60 runs more efficient than 62% of the 293 comparable 2-door reach-in refrigerators we track — about $16/yr under the median comparable model.
The two-door reach-in (~43–49 cu ft) is the workhorse of most kitchens: enough cold storage for a full line without a walk-in's footprint. It's the default unless you're very small (one door) or high-volume (three).
38.5 cu ft is roughly 1.9× a typical home refrigerator — about 19 full sheet pans or ~32 cases of product (varies with shelving).
