More from this brandAll Summit Appliance beverage refrigeratorsOverview
An 18-inch wide beverage center with a 3.2 cu ft capacity, reversible tinted glass door, and stainless steel trim, built to meet both ETL-S/NSF-7 commercial standards and residential use.
Its front-breathing design lets it go under a counter as a built-in or stand alone as a freestanding unit. A digital thermostat, temperature alarm, and automatic defrost handle day-to-day operation, and an optional Sabbath mode disables select electrical features during religious observance.
- 3.2 cu ft, 18 inch wide
- Reversible glass door
- Front-breathing, built-in or freestanding
- ETL-S/NSF-7 and UL-471 rated
Who it's for
Anyone wanting a narrow drink fridge for a home bar, office break room, or small commercial counter who needs either built-in or freestanding flexibility.
Pros and cons
- Front-breathing design works built-in or freestanding
- Reversible glass door for left or right hinge placement
- Three glass shelves plus a slotted floor to hold bottles steady
- Meets ETL-S/NSF-7 and UL-471 commercial standards

Performance notes
Front venting means it can sit flush in cabinetry without a rear air gap, and the automatic defrost system is meant to keep it running without manual upkeep. A temperature alarm sounds if the interior drifts outside its setpoint.
