Our read & the right size
At 16.72 kWh/day, the Desmon Spa PGB21G-A runs in the less-efficient 80% of the 30 comparable 3-door reach-in freezers we track — about $221/yr over the median.
A three-door reach-in freezer is high-volume frozen storage. At this footprint and energy draw, price it against a walk-in freezer before committing.
71.57 cu ft is roughly 3.6× a typical home refrigerator — about 36 full sheet pans or ~60 cases of product (varies with shelving).
