Turbo Air M3F24-2-N — Reach-In Freezer with 2 Doors, 78"H, 21.5 cu ft

Our read & the right size

At 4.36 kWh/day, the Turbo Air M3F24-2-N runs more efficient than 86% of the 114 comparable 2-door reach-in freezers we track — about $170/yr under the median comparable model.

How we compare: “comparable” = matched on door count (2-door) and type (reach-in freezer), among ENERGY STAR-certified models with a published kWh/day figure — the 114 such units we track · group median 7.22 kWh/day (≈ $430/yr) · this model 4.36 kWh/day · source: ENERGY STAR certified product data, as of July 2026.

A two-door reach-in freezer (~43 cu ft) is the standard for a line that holds meaningful frozen inventory without a walk-in freezer. Watch energy use — freezers cost roughly double a fridge to run.

21.5 cu ft is roughly 1.1× a typical home refrigerator — about 11 full sheet pans or ~18 cases of product (varies with shelving).
