We have a Summit and I have found it to be an exceptionally poorly designed refrigerator. The outer edges of the shelves curve downward--things slide off constantly. I cannot tell you how many bottles of milk have broken and spilled over my kitchen floor. The shelves on the door are very poorly spaced--it's almost impossible to get jars off the smaller shelves without taking other items out first. The refrigerator cycle is extremely loud, much more so than our old refrigerator, which was almost 20 years older. Additionally, the housing for the light above the top shelf dips down into the shelf area, making it very difficult to store anything that's higher than 5 inches--combined with the ridiculous 1" downward curve of the shelf, it's a lot of lost storage space. Additionally, each time the refrigerator door is shut, the reverberation is just great enough to pop open the freezer door. Apparently the closing mechanism on the freezer door--maybe something magnetic?--isn't strong enough to keep the door closed. They're very cheaply made and I can't recommend Summits at all. A shame really, as previous threads on Apartment Therapy had led me to believe they were of higher quality. Do not purchase one.
