Summit Appliance AL55 Built-In Refrigerator 4.8 Cu Ft

Overview

The Summit AL55 is a 24-inch built-in refrigerator designed to fit under ADA-compliant lower counters, standing just under 32 inches tall. It has a reversible stainless steel door, three glass shelves and is certified to commercial NSF-7 standards as well as residential use.

This is a built-in, under-counter unit rather than a full-size kitchen refrigerator, so its main appeal is fitting into a specific low-clearance ADA space where a standard fridge won't. It carries commercial certification (ETL-S to NSF-7) alongside meeting residential standards, and includes an automatic defrost system plus an internal fan for even cooling.

• 24-inch ADA-compliant built-in design
• 36-46 F adjustable temperature range
• 3 extending glass shelves with brake system
• ETL-S listed to NSF-7, reversible door

Who it's for

Buyers fitting a refrigerator into an ADA-compliant lower counter space, such as an accessible kitchenette or break room. Not the right pick for anyone wanting a standard full-height kitchen fridge.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Temperature is adjustable between 36 and 46 degrees F, held steady by an internal fan and automatic defrost system that the manufacturer says needs little user maintenance. The three glass shelves extend for access and use a shelving brake system to keep contents from sliding, while a slotted floor is meant to make storing bottles easier and two door racks hold condiments within reach.
