Our Review

The True Residential STG1R-1S-HC 23 cu. ft. Commercial Refrigerator is a 23.4 cu. ft. commercial refrigerator from True Residential, built for 24/7 duty cycles in restaurants, c-stores, and food-service environments. Not a residential appliance — but a useful reference point if you're spec'ing a commercial kitchen.

What it's built for

Commercial refrigerators run harder and longer than residential units. Expect a heavier compressor (True Residential's typical commercial-grade unit), stainless interior, casters or leveling legs, and NSF-style construction for health-code compliance.

Bottom line

If you operate a food-service business and need a 23.4 cu. ft. reach-in, this is in the right category. Pair it with a service contract and you'll get years of trouble-free operation.
