Our read & the right size
At 11.13 kWh/day, the Novum 1700F runs in the less-efficient 91% of the 114 comparable 2-door reach-in freezers we track — about $233/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.
61.7 cu ft is roughly 3.1× a typical home refrigerator — about 31 full sheet pans or ~51 cases of product (varies with shelving).
