Our read & the right size
At 0.97 kWh/day, the Desmon Spa TGM2ETL runs more efficient than 96% of the 293 comparable 2-door reach-in refrigerators we track — about $74/yr under the median comparable model.
How we compare: “comparable” = matched on door count (2-door) and type (reach-in refrigerator), among ENERGY STAR-certified models with a published kWh/day figure — the 293 such units we track · group median 2.21 kWh/day (≈ $131/yr) · this model 0.97 kWh/day · source: ENERGY STAR certified product data, as of July 2026.
The two-door reach-in (~43–49 cu ft) is the workhorse of most kitchens: enough cold storage for a full line without a walk-in's footprint. It's the default unless you're very small (one door) or high-volume (three).
9.47 cu ft is roughly 0.5× a typical home refrigerator — about 5 full sheet pans or ~8 cases of product (varies with shelving).

Health-department & code relevance NSF/ANSI 7
Commercial kitchens holding cold TCS foods need NSF-listed refrigeration that holds 41°F (5°C) or below (FDA Food Code 3-501.16). Equipment must be commercially certified for sanitation (4-205.10, NSF/ANSI 7). This model is ENERGY STAR certified; confirm the NSF mark on the cut sheet.
