Our read & the right size
At 1.32 kWh/day, the IDW G-12SI-N-3-3-4-B-5 runs in the less-efficient 53% of the 272 comparable 1-door reach-in refrigerators we track — about $2/yr over the median.
A single-door reach-in (~20 cu ft) fits a prep station, a small café, or a tight spot on the line. Choose it when one section holds a shift's product — step up to two doors before you're opening it constantly.
11.4 cu ft is roughly 0.6× a typical home refrigerator — about 6 full sheet pans or ~10 cases of product (varies with shelving).
