Our read & the right size
At 17.73 kWh/day, the True Refrigeration FLM-81F~TSL01 runs in the less-efficient 93% of the 30 comparable 3-door reach-in freezers we track — about $281/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.
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).
