summit refrigerators
Comments (1)LG has a 24" fridge in the NYC market; I'll guess that an LG dealer can order one for you. Fagor has a 24" fridge. Blomberg has three of them. GE has a 24" fridge. Liebherr and Miele also. A Danish company also: its fridges are imported by several other companies and rebranded. The Summit CP-171 is one. http://ths.gardenweb.com/search/nph-ind.cgi?term=Vestfrost&forum=appl&forum_name=Appliances Here is a link that might be useful: I used Vestfrost as the key word in this search...See Moreany 24-inch fridge owners happy with summit, blomberg, or LG?
Comments (37)Yeah their stuff was amazing - here's their coffee table that opens up to become a hi-fi and a TV projector: But anyway, there's an estalished "grey market" in selling items intended for sale in foreign contries in the US by companies other than the company's authorized US distributor. It's completely legal, and it's how many of us bought our cameras in the '70s through '90s, but you can expect the manufacturer's warranty won't be honored in the US, so you'd have to haul the thing back to Canada to get LG to pay for repairs the first year. After that, since it uses virtully the same parts as a fridge that was sold for many years in the US, finding someone who can repair it, even authorized LG service agents, should be easy. Companies never like grey-market imports taking business away from their chosen importers, so don't expect LG to give you the green light. Instead, call an appliance store near the border, ask them to look at the placard inside the door (or in the use & care or installation manual) and see if there's any reference to American service addresses, phone numbers, or at least UL certification. Some will have US yellow "EnergyGuide" stickers on them, often reversible to Canadian energy guides. you can probably find a dealer along the southern border willing to send one across state lines - especially smaller mom & pop independent shops that need every sale they can get and are less tied down with corporate-HQ policies to follow. If all else falls, plan a trip to Montreal or Toronto - plenty of interesting things to do there besides scoping out exotic appliances.... just bring a truck, van, SUV, or some wagons large enough to hold a boxed fridge, probably on its side....See MoreBlomberg, Kuppersbush, Summit Fridges: Same manufacturer?
Comments (2)Summit uses various suppliers, so some could be the same. I only know about the Danish fridge that Summit markets- a tall narrow 24" with dual compressors and no self defrost in the freezer. But like I wrote, they import from several sources....See MoreAnyone Have a Blomberg, Bosch or Whirlpool Dishwasher?
Comments (6)Thank you. We are a family of 8! so basically do at least 2 or 3 washes a day. The Bosch I would get is smaller so as to be ADA compliant (fixed counter, sunken dishwasher). It would not have a 3rd rack. It is just a little prettier than the Whirlpool and Fridge (still has front controls so not stunning). Because we do so many loads I am nervous about not having a dry cycle. I do not want lots of wet plastic in my future, although I realize there are worse things. Quiet does not worry me as our kitchen is not used except for cooking, everything happens in the den which is not near the kitchen. I got what fit two years ago and ended up with a leaky GE lemon! So I am really worried about reliability. If I redo the kitchen (not holding my breath there), I will want a full size dishwasher so would replace this one anyway. So the cheapest is the Fridge for 530, then whirlpool for 630 and the most expensive is the Bosch for 850-900, is it worth it?! Will I miss the heated dry?...See Moreplllog
