What Owners Say
3 ratings
This set offers tons of space given no icemaker or water features (hopefully less to fail as the years go by!). Been using for over a month now with no problems. It's like having "His & Hers" Refrigerators side by side! Note this is a very tall set given the compressors are…
fit into space for subzero ,reasonable price, decent capacity, work well.
Was a bit shocked that it was actually 2 24” refrigerators put together but after installing I’m kind of liking it. The freezer drawers are a bit cumbersome but for the price I think I would buy again compared to 13K for a new sub zero
Convinced? Amazon has it for $3,729

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.
