Our read & the right size
At 1.17 kWh/day, the True T-12G-HC~FGD01 runs more efficient than 59% of the 272 comparable 1-door reach-in refrigerators we track — about $7/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 1.17 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.
11.28 cu ft is roughly 0.6× a typical home refrigerator — about 6 full sheet pans or ~9 cases of product (varies with shelving).
