- Cheaper than the alternitive
The refrigerators were delivered on time and without damage. The units aren't as stout or quite the quality I was hoping for, but they do seem to be working properly and they look good aesthetically. We bought two to fill a 48" space and to replace a much more expensive…

- Perfect for our small kitchen footprint
This is 2nd Summit we have purchased. We bought one 4 years ago for a small cottage and loved its functionality and space saving quality. Bought recent one for our condo. Even though it is counter depth do not feel we lost any storage space.
jamldcMay 3, 20242 found this helpful - Beautiful, but mixed bag
I bought this refrigerator in my previous condo and it was absolutely gorgeous. It looked like a rocket ship in my kitchen. I had problems with the temps and I had to get rid of it, but one thing I miss about this fridge was the "frost-free" instead of automatic, non-stop…
Sadder but wiserApr 17, 2026 - Poor electrical design
This product is poorly designed in regards to the wiring for the control panel. The wiring has no protection and is run right across the top door hinge. I have already had the door replaced once due to the wiring being severed and it just happened again. Now my control panel is…

Brand Background
About Summit Appliance
Summit Appliance, a division of Felix Storch, Inc., has operated out of the Bronx, New York since 1969, carving out a distinctive niche in specialty refrigeration that sets it apart from mainstream appliance manufacturers. The company's catalog on Fridge.com encompasses 907 active products, reflecting an unusually broad range of specialized cooling solutions. Rather than competing in the standard kitchen refrigerator market, Summit focuses heavily on commercial and specialty categories—the brand offers 161 upright freezers, 153 kegerators, 153 beverage centers, and 78 built-in units, alongside 161 french-door models. This distribution reveals a manufacturer deeply invested in foodservice, hospitality, and medical applications rather than typical residential needs. ADA-compliant models like the CT661WADA compact freezer demonstrate Summit's commitment to accessibility requirements, while units like the SBC15NKCSS kegerator highlight their strength in beverage dispensing equipment. With products carrying an average rating of 3.7 out of 5, Summit Appliance occupies the mainstream tier but serves markets that premium residential brands often overlook, making it a go-to source for undercounter installations, laboratory storage, and commercial beverage applications where specialized dimensions and compliance certifications matter most.
