Built-In or Freestanding?

A built-in beverage center vents from the front, so it can go under a counter with cabinets on both sides. A freestanding model needs open space around it for air flow. Most of the Summit models in this guide are listed as built-in or freestanding, so you can use them either way. The SCR1400W is listed as freestanding.

Indoor or Outdoor?

Only use a beverage center outdoors if it is approved for outdoor use. In this guide, the SPR489OS is approved for outdoor use and the SCR611GLOS is a commercial outdoor model with a sealed back.

  • Outdoor: SPR489OS, SCR611GLOS
  • Indoor: SCR1536BGCSST3, CL156BV1, ASDG2411LHD, SCR1400W

Picking a Size

The 14 3/4" wide models fit narrow spaces, such as the gap left by a trash pull-out. The undercounter models from 19" to 23 5/8" wide hold more cans and bottles. The SCR1400W is a tall upright model for big collections.
