The Summit Appliance ALRF49BCSS is a built-in refrigerator-freezer with a 20-inch width and a stainless steel door finish. This unit offers 2.68 cubic feet of total storage capacity and features adjustable and removable shelves to accommodate different storage needs. It operates with manual defrost and includes an adjustable thermostat for temperature control.
This compact unit is designed for built-in or undercounter installation and meets ADA compliance standards, making it suitable for accessible design requirements. The 20-inch width allows it to fit into smaller kitchen spaces, wet bars, or office areas where a full-size refrigerator would not be practical. Because this is a manual defrost model, periodic defrosting will be required to maintain efficient operation. Verify that your installation space can accommodate the unit's dimensions and that proper ventilation clearances are available for built-in use.
The Summit Appliance ALRF49BCSS — compact.

Brand Background
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.
