Overview
The Summit SCFF53BSS is a 24-inch-wide under-counter upright freezer with a stainless steel door, frost-free operation, and a digital thermostat, built for either built-in or freestanding installation in tight kitchen or laundry spaces.
- 24-inch width for tight spaces
- Frost-free fan-forced cooling
- Digital thermostat control
- Open-door and high-temperature alarms
Who it's for
Fits kitchens or laundry rooms needing a compact second freezer that doesn't require manual defrosting. Less suited to an install where the freezer's side panel will be visible, since only the door is stainless.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners liked the shelf space, the fit under a 24-inch counter, and the price relative to built-in freezers from U-Line or Sub-Zero, with several noting it arrived well packed and worked well from day one. Recurring complaints include side panels that aren't actually stainless despite the product name, a door style that no longer matches older Summit fridges, strong door suction that pulls the whole unit forward when opened, and ice building up over the fan on some units until cooling stops.
