Our read & the right size
At 0.68 kWh/day, the Beverage-Air UCR24HC********** runs more efficient than 93% of the 272 comparable 1-door reach-in refrigerators we track — about $36/yr under the median comparable model.
How we compare: “comparable” = matched on door count (1-door) and type (reach-in refrigerator), among ENERGY STAR-certified models with a published kWh/day figure — the 272 such units we track · group median 1.28 kWh/day (≈ $76/yr) · this model 0.68 kWh/day · source: ENERGY STAR certified product data, as of July 2026.
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.
4.5 cu ft is roughly 0.2× a typical home refrigerator — about 2 full sheet pans or ~4 cases of product (varies with shelving).
