Our read & the right size
At 4.89 kWh/day, the True Refrigeration GDM-69-HC-LD runs in the less-efficient 75% of the 71 comparable 3-door reach-in refrigerators we track — about $97/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.
61.62 cu ft is roughly 3.1× a typical home refrigerator — about 31 full sheet pans or ~51 cases of product (varies with shelving).
