Product review (1 stars): Summit SCR1536 not a good buy
We remodeled our kitchen and planned a built in beverage refrigerator.  We chose the Summit SCR1536 because of size and the fact that it was made for built in installation.

Because this is a beverage refrigerator it was important to me to find a unit that would provide a cold environment for drinks - I wasn't looking for a wine cooler.  When we first installed the unit (last week in February 2012) we set the thermostate to 34 degrees.  Within a short time the unit did in fact cool to 34 degrees.  Unfortunately its a very noisy unit.

Now, three weeks later, the temperature fluctuates between 38 and 42 degrees.  I called for service and was shocked to find out that this is considered normal.  They said that it's impossible to maintain 34 degrees and that running from 38 to 42 degrees is well within what Summit considers "normal" - even if I've set the thermostate to 34.  Asked what the room temperature was I told them the kitchen was 77 degrees.  I was told that too can be a problem since the unit will work best in a room under 70 degrees.  (I have a junkie old mini-fridge in my garage that keeps drinks at 34 degrees and I live in Texas where the garage can get over 100 degrees during the day!!)

I can live with the noise - although it's very disappointing - but I'm buying a refrigerator to keep my drinks cold.  The marketing material states that the unit has "Electronic controls for precise temperature management."  Controls that run from 34 degrees to 43 degrees.  I can tell you that the temperature controls are anything but "precise" and that this is considered "normal" by Summit.

The bottom line is that as nice as the unit looks, it was not a good choice and I would NOT recommend this product.
