Refrigerator Drawers Which Ones are Quiet?
Comments (1)Bump...See Moreany thoughts on (Summit) refrigerator drawers
Comments (7)rubyvine, Summit has fridges from various sources (relabeled) so it will be hard to ascertain loudness unless you go by each individual model and even then you may not find someone who has bought it and installed it in a typical kitchen and is signed in somewhere reachable. Fro example, I know the tall thin bottom freezer CP-171 model fridge is quiet. I've heard it operating ful blast and under various other conditions. ((Btw, this one was also available from Home Depot as a Vestfrost 350 or 375 model, and is available also from ConServ)) Ask which make the 3 drawer fridge is; whose design it was. Just for fun, ask which compressor it uses (Embraco, Danfoss, etc), and how much the fan runs. You'll get an idea how solid the design is. The real answer sought after is user-experienced noise, the sum of many small noises, and that may be what Mark will talk about, if he has ever spent time alone with one in a closed room together. : - ) Or else he will tell you that the fridge has the same guts as some other one, which he knows better. Etc. Etc. Etc. Some manufacturers discuss their fridge noises freely and openly. On the Fagor web site you can locate the PDF for their tall 24" wide fridge and see what they say about all the possible noises. Since fridges move a coolant liquid through tubing, they can make sloshing noises, and since they have compressors they can make humming buzzing noises. Etc, etc, etc. Fagor is very open about their fridge noises. Most other fridge manufacturers are very guarded. Hoping you can locate some similar information for the 3-drawer one.

Comments (5)I have Marvel 24". I chose it because it seemed to hold more than any of the others. I use it for produce, but also wine, juice and milk. It works very well. And it's true that you can put tall bottles upright in the lower drawer. As far as I can tell it holds temperature fine, but I haven't measured. The produce stays fresh as well as in my Miele fridge. Cons: It's true that it is noisy, especially when it's first cooling down. It doesn't cycle on that often, and in a busy kitchen it's not bad, but in a family room or similar it might be too loud. Also, the gasket on the lower drawer is kind of puffy and it doesn't line up quite right. I'm sure I could get someone out to try to fix it, but I've had too much else to do. Or I might be stuck with it. It's no big deal. Just a minor irritation. In a more prominent location it would be another story. I agree with Lascatx on the Perlick reputation for quality....See MoreMarvel, KA, or GE Drawer Fridge?
Comments (5)We have the KA fridge/freezer drawer and they are not a pain to open, I don't think. My 7 year old manages them just fine. We have custom panels and it integrates very well into our inset cabinets. At the suggestion of our cabinet guy, we put pulls (7" Top Knobs Weston) at the top of the drawers and we are glad we did (vs. putting them in the middle). The freezer drawer would be really low if you had to reach that far down to open it....See Morejsceva
