I own 2 - they are the best
AJ Madison · 5 out of 5 stars
I specifically searched out this model because I own another for 5 years in a wet bar in my home. When my kitchenaid unit died in my kitchen I literally searched the Summit model and found AJ Madison had the best price and could deliver in a few days. This beverage fridge is actually a commercial unit and is built like a tank- in the USA. I really like it- it’s pretty quiet and looks great. It keeps the temp perfect and never runs down in temp like the kitchenaid used to- that one literally froze an entire fridge full of beer. Enjoy it- not cheap but the best.

Customer photo 1Great Fridge!
AJ Madison · 5 out of 5 stars
I purchased this for our new beverage station in our newly remodeled kitchen. I love it! I spent a little more than what I wanted to, but the helpful salesman explained that I needed a vented fridge to install into a counter, not just the college dorm fridge! It was worth every penny! And salesman was very knowledgeable. I have plenty of room for beer, pop and I placed wine bottles in the very bottom. Shelves are adjustable for taller beer bottles. Since coffee maker is on counter I keep my creamer in there also, but have to lay it down since it's a large container. Great value!

AJ Madison · 5 out of 5 stars
I chose this unit based on looks and wasn't disappointed! I use it to store water for sale at my dance studio. It looks very nice and works very well so far. I like this one because the bottom is flat and I water bottles standing upright won't wobble.

Solid, with some noise
Amazon · 3 out of 5 stars
UPDATE: Control board seems to be having issues less than three years in. Door sensor was not being detected properly for a few days, and now "temp down" no longer functions (only "temp up" and it's stuck on the highest temperature as a result). Button itself is fine as holding it down still activates the cycle override, it's the controller itself that's not responding to short presses.--- Original review below ---Overall I like this fridge and would buy it again. I've had it for about 6 months so far (through peak summer humidity and very dry late fall).Pros:- Cools well and quickly, and seems to maintain its temperature (I keep mine at 3 degrees celsius)- No issues with interior condensation, ice, or water leaking; stays frost-free even when full- Adjustable/removable shelves are useful- Solidly built (I bought this with an aim for longevity, hopefully it lasts)- Black exterior is simple and smooth and does the job while being significantly cheaper than the option with a stainless exterior (stainless interior is enough for me)- Glass door is classy and functionalCons:- About as noisy as a full-size refrigerator. This would probably not matter as much if I had it in the kitchen under the counter, but mine is freestanding in my living room. The compressor is actually fairly quiet, but the fan is loud. By default, the fan runs continuously (for more even temperature), but this can be turned off by holding the "up" button for several seconds (or "down"? One of them turns it off and the other back on). In this mode (which is remembered through power outages), the fan only runs when the compressor is active (and for a few seconds every 10-20 minutes when it samples the temperature). This really cuts the constant noise, but it still runs (very roughly) about 5-10 minutes out of every 30. After a few weeks we got used to the noise and don't notice it much anymore.- On very humid summer days, the glass door develops some light condensation on the exterior (but not enough to drip in my case); this is the downside of having a glass door I suppose!Other notes:- Weighs over 100 lbs empty (on four small adjustable feet), so not the easiest to install or move, and can damage wood floors(Note: I bought this from griddle.ca but there's no way to leave a review there, so leaving one here for visibility.)

don't like that the controls are at the bottom of the unit tough to get to

Loud, poor quality, needed defrosting
Amazon · 1 out of 5 stars
This was not inexpensive. Initially I thought it was pretty good, but it is very loud. The door has a poor seal and bounces open frequently. Luckily it has a beep alarm when it is open, because we have to go back to push it closed again.Today a cola was punctured and I had to sit on the floor to clean and I realized that it had a substantial amount of frost in the back wall.There is no where for the water to drain, so I had to remove the back panel and saw a ridiculous amount of frost. I've turned off the fridge and have towels in there too soak up what's going to be a gallon of water.I went with this because it's made in USA. I should have known the much better price than KitchenAid was a clue to the poor quality.Yes, I've had it nearly two years, but it's drinks fridge for the bar in the basement. It shouldn't need defrosting... It isn't a freezer and the coldest setting is 36F.I also attempted to get a new cover pin for where I reversed the door. It is poor quality chrome plating and is badly scratched from getting it off. Nobody ever responded to my email or complaint.

Besides maybe a blender, this is the loudest appliance I’ve ever had. No joke, the refrigerator is downstairs and I can get it upstairs. The noise travels up the stairwell it’s so loud. Wish I could return it but I waited to long.
