Our read & the right size
At 2.75 kWh/day, the IDW G-45SI-C-3-3-5-B-5 runs in the less-efficient 66% of the 293 comparable 2-door reach-in refrigerators we track — about $32/yr over the median.
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).
38.2 cu ft is roughly 1.9× a typical home refrigerator — about 19 full sheet pans or ~32 cases of product (varies with shelving).
