Overview
Summit sizes the CP972SS at just under 22 inches wide, pairing stainless steel doors with a black textured cabinet for kitchens too tight for a standard fridge-freezer. It's rated ADA compliant and holds 7.1 cu ft total.
At under 22 inches wide and 56 inches tall, it targets studios, yachts, offices and other spaces where a full-depth fridge won't fit, while still offering a real fridge-freezer split rather than a fridge-only design. A reversible door adds placement flexibility.
- 7.1 cu ft split between fridge and freezer
- Stainless steel doors, black textured cabinet
- ADA compliant, under 22 inches wide
- Interior lighting and removable freezer shelf
Who it's for
Suits anyone furnishing a compact kitchen, studio apartment, boat or office who wants a genuine fridge-freezer combo rather than a fridge-only unit. Less suited to buyers who want frost-free operation in the freezer, since defrost there is manual.
Pros and cons
- Narrow 22 inch width fits tight spaces
- Reversible door and sealed back simplify installation
- Adjustable glass shelves and door storage
- Freezer requires manual defrost
Performance notes
The fridge side runs cycle defrost automatically, while the freezer side is manual, so expect occasional defrosting there. The sealed back design simplifies both cleaning and closet or cabinet installation, which one owner used to recess the unit and hide everything but the stainless doors.
