The Summit NOVA45 is a 53-inch chest freezer designed for ice cream storage. It offers 14.1 cubic feet of capacity and features a hammered aluminum interior, sliding glass lid, and defrost drain. The unit has a white finish and steel construction, measuring 29.25 inches high, 53 inches wide, and 27.25 inches deep.
This chest freezer is suited for commercial ice cream display or residential use where significant frozen storage is needed. The sliding glass lid allows visibility of contents, while the defrost drain facilitates maintenance. Given its 53-inch width and nearly 30-inch height, this appliance requires dedicated floor space in a kitchen, garage, basement, or commercial setting. Buyers should verify that the installation location can accommodate these dimensions and provide appropriate electrical supply.

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.
