Our read & the right size
At 5.73 kWh/day, the True Refrigeration FLM-81~TSL01 runs in the less-efficient 83% of the 71 comparable 3-door reach-in refrigerators we track — about $147/yr over the median.
A three-door reach-in (~70+ cu ft) suits high-volume lines, banquet kitchens, and commissaries that turn product fast. If you're not filling two doors daily, the third door is cooling empty air.
67.3 cu ft is roughly 3.4× a typical home refrigerator — about 34 full sheet pans or ~56 cases of product (varies with shelving).
