Our read & the right size
At 5.26 kWh/day, the Turbo Air TGIM-23H*-N-L runs in the less-efficient 84% of the 103 comparable 1-door reach-in freezers we track — about $73/yr over the median.
A single-door reach-in freezer (~20 cu ft) covers a small operation or a backup to a walk-in. Frozen product is dense, so a smaller box goes further than it does in refrigeration.
17.3 cu ft is roughly 0.9× a typical home refrigerator — about 9 full sheet pans or ~14 cases of product (varies with shelving).
