An Introduction to Summit Appliance

Summit Undercounters

Summit's undercounter refrigerators are a popular addition to bar areas, hotel rooms, and similar areas. Many models are designed with style and efficiency in mind, featuring sleek designs in addition to a variety of front panel options such as solid stainless steel, insulated glass, or customizable overlay panels designed to blend seamlessly with adjacent cabinets. Many of Summit's undercounter units include additional features that make them particularly suitable for customer-accessible areas, including locking doors to prevent tampering and internal LED lighting to showcase products displayed in glass-door units.

A hallmark of Summit's undercounter selection is the variation and uniqueness in construction. Not only do many models comply to ADA standards for countertop height, but specialized, shallow-depth beverage centers are also available for back bar installation. Summit also offers undercounter refrigerators equipped with pull-out drawers that are great for bulk goods, packaged items, and produce. Finally, Summit manufactures various undercounter models approved for outdoor use for further versatility.

Summit Reach-In Refrigerators

If you're looking for more cold storage than an undercounter unit can provide, Summit reach-in refrigerators are available with as many as two sections for storing or merchandising larger volumes of products. Popular for back-of-house applications, reach-ins with solid doors come in understated and versatile designs and feature stainless steel or white exteriors. For quickly taking inventory or for merchandising items to customers, many reach-in units feature a glass door. Most models include interior LED lighting for greater visibility.

Summit's reach-in units share common features that appeal to many operators. A full stainless steel construction creates an attractive yet durable product, while digital thermometers let you precisely monitor the conditions inside the unit. Self-closing doors prevented wasted energy from doors accidentally left open, and many models include a lock to secure the contents of merchandisers outside of store hours.

Summit Freezers

From undercounter reach-ins to ice cream merchandisers, Summit freezers span a range of foodservice tasks. Undercounter freezer units typically come with an ice cube section – a popular choice for hotel and hospital rooms seeking to eliminate the need for guests to leave their rooms for ice. Ice cream merchandisers typically feature compartments for holding tubs of ice cream or individually wrapped frozen treats, and Summit also offers different sizes of mobile chest freezers.

Most Summit freezers come with classic silver and white exteriors, but some models are available with more unique designs. Some undercounter models are available with a customizable front panel that can be matched to surrounding cabinets. Others are available in vibrant shades to complement more colorful decor or represent your brand's palate. Summit freezers typically feature LED lighting, digital thermostats, and standard locks.

Summit Wine Coolers & Beverage Centers

Although undercounter refrigerators are a common addition in bar areas, Summit's wine coolers and beverage centers further expand options, enabling you to curate the perfect bar setup. Countertop or undercounter models are ideal for even the most compact spaces, while larger bottle coolers capable of housing 170 bottles of wine are suitable for more extensive wine offerings. Beverage centers with a shallow depth fit seamlessly into back-bar setups, allowing for compact and attractive displays of bottled or canned drinks. Certain models include both a cooler and keg system, creating a combination storage and serving unit.

Summit designs these appliances with an appealing bar setup in mind. Many models feature a double-paned glass front to put beverage selections on display in addition to interior LED lighting that improves visibility. Sleek silver, black, or white exteriors create a modern presentation that keeps the focus on your drink offerings. Other models with wood accents can complement your establishment's decor or convey a more rustic concept.

Summit Medical Refrigeration

Extending beyond the foodservice and hospitality sectors, Summit's Accucold brand is a popular choice for healthcare facilities. Summit's medical refrigerators maintain the precise temperatures necessary for preserving the quality of medications, vaccines, and other medical supplies. Undercounter models are perfect for installation behind pharmacy counters or in more compact storage areas, while full-size models can hold large volumes of temperature-sensitive supplies. For hospitals and childbirth centers, Summit's MOMCUBE™ series includes various sizes of refrigerators designed to hold pumped breast milk until it's ready to be used.

To protect sensitive or valuable contents, most medical refrigerators and freezers include a locking door, and many models also include features intended to help maintain precise, safe temperatures that comply with the CDC's vaccine storage guidelines. Temperature alarms warn users of conditions above or below the set range, and a digital display provides readouts of high and low temperatures registered over a set time period. Units with a buffered thermometer probe provide even more accurate product temperature readouts.

Summit Kitchenettes

The perfect addition to motel rooms, office breakrooms, or college dormitories, Summit kitchenettes fit multiple essential appliances in one compact unit. Rather than selecting multiple different items to build a kitchen space, these kitchenettes enable you to equip a room with all the essentials in just one purchase. The simplest units include a sink, range top, and refrigerator, but some more inclusive models feature refrigerators and freezers, storage areas, or even a washer/dryer unit.

To fit into a variety of spaces, Summit kitchenettes typically come in basic colors such as white, black, and silver. Most models feature a stainless steel countertop for durability and easy cleaning, while a backsplash helps prevent messes from reaching the wall. Range tops are comprised of either coil elements or a glass cooktop, and some models include indicator lights designed to signal when a burner is active.

To outfit your home kitchen with reliable cooking equipment, Summit residential ranges and ovens are available in gas, electric, and induction models. Range tops with oven bases are perfect for a variety of cooking tasks, such as baking and pan frying. More compact options are also available for kitchens with smaller footprints. Summit offers drop-in cooktops and ovens that can be built into the wall to utilize empty spaces.

Summit's residential ovens and cooktops come in a variety of sizes to fit the different layouts of residential kitchens. Drop-in cooktops are available with anywhere from two to five burners. Choose between classic open burners or sleek cooktops that lie flush with a countertop. Some larger models include extra features such as storage spaces or broiler doors in addition to an oven base. Additionally, Summit range hoods vent away steam, grease, and smoke, keeping your kitchen clean and comfortable while you cook.

Whether you're looking for a compact model for a home bar or a full-size model for a family kitchen, Summit residential refrigerators are available in sizes and configurations that can fit any need. Undercounter models are suitable for a bar area or supplementing a full-size refrigerator. Larger models often feature both a refrigerator and freezer section for versatile cold storage. Summit even offers some residential refrigerators with an included microwave – typically located on top of the unit – to fit small spaces like apartments or dorm rooms.

Outfit your laundry room or ensure your dishes are thoroughly cleaned with Summit washers, dryers, and dishwashers. The company offers a selection of built-in dishwashers with up to 8 cycles; these are available in sleek silver, white, or black to match the style of your home. Summit also provides solutions for keeping your laundry room running smoothly, with various dryers and washing machines available. Most are sold individually, but some washers and dryers come as a set that can be installed either side-by-side or stacked, depending on the space you have available.
