SUMMIT APPLIANCE BRINGS ALL-IN-ONE
KITCHENETTES TO THE OUTDOORS
The specialty appliance manufacturer introduces
portable bar stations for backyard entertaining
Summit Appliance, a division of Felix Storch, Inc. (FSI) is expanding
its popular lineup of combination kitchenettes into outdoor spaces.
The new series features weatherproof choices that incorporate a
variety of food and beverage storage solutions in one mobile unit.
Summit has been innovating the all-in-one kitchenette with a
variety of unique and functional choices, and the new CARTOS54
series continues that trend. Assembled in FSI's New York facilities,
this unit combines a locking outdoor refrigerator (solid or glass door
style), slide-out trash compartment with two waste bins, and sink that
can be connected to a standard water connection or hose fixture.
The sink can also be used as a temporary ice bin, as a waste bottle
is included to drain melted ice. The stainless steel work surface offers
a wide prep area, including a removable cutting board that doubles
as a cover for a silverware and utensil bin. Additional features include
a pre-installed speed rail for bottle and cup storage, removable
cabinet shelf, and removable clear domed lid to help protect food
and beverages.
The CARTOS54 series is constructed from stainless steel and
powder-coated metal to hold up to outdoor settings, while a vinyl
weatherproof cover is included for recommended use out of season.
The unit includes pre-installed casters to ensure easy movement
around the yard. The front two wheels are locking, making it easy to
fix the unit in place when ready to serve.
The move to outdoor bar stations was a natural fit for Summit
Appliance, as the manufacturer already offers a wide selection of
outdoor refrigeration products. "Over the last few years, we've seen
so much growth in outdoor kitchens," notes Paul Storch, president of
FSI. "We're excited that we can now package everything but the grill
into one portable piece."
Summit's outdoor kitchenette is available now through a large
network of resellers. Please visit www.summitappliance.com/outdoor
