The Summit Appliance REXT20SS is a 20-inch wide compact freestanding electric range with 4 radiant burners, a 1.87 cu ft oven, and a stainless steel finish priced at $1,024. Nine buyers give it a 3.6-star average, middle-of-the-road feedback that reflects the real tradeoffs of a space-constrained appliance at this price.
Small apartment kitchens, studio units, RV installations, or any space where a full 30-inch range cannot physically fit and a compact 20-inch footprint is the primary constraint. Summit is a recognized name in specialty-format appliances.
Skip if
Anyone with a full 24-inch or 30-inch kitchen opening should consider those formats instead, 1.87 cu ft is a very small oven for the $1,024 price, and the cooking capacity is noticeably limited compared to standard-width alternatives.

Overview
Summit Appliance has long focused on compact appliance formats for constrained spaces, and the REXT20SS fits that niche: at just 19.38 inches wide, it occupies significantly less counter space than even the next-smallest common range width of 24 inches. The 4 radiant burners provide standard electric cooking capability scaled down to this footprint.
The 1.87 cu ft oven is the primary limitation, it cannot fit a standard 9x13-inch roasting pan and is better suited for smaller baking tasks, reheating, or supplemental oven use. The stainless steel finish gives it a professional appearance that does not look out of place in kitchen renovations where a compact range is necessary.
At $1,024 and 152 lbs, the REXT20SS is heavier than its compact size might suggest, which indicates solid construction. Running on 240 volts is standard for electric ranges. The 3.6-star average from 9 buyers is a moderate result, not alarming, but not a strong endorsement. For buyers with no alternative to a sub-24-inch range, Summit's specialty expertise in this format is a meaningful differentiator.

Performance notes
Four radiant burners on a 19.38-inch cooktop surface means the cooking zones are close together, simultaneous use of multiple large pots will require careful coordination. The 1.87 cu ft oven handles small casserole dishes, quarter-sheet pans, toaster-size items, and reheating. Radiant elements heat through a smooth glass surface, so flat-bottom cookware is ideal. Operating at 240 volts requires a standard electric range circuit. Dimensions of 23.63 x 19.38 x 35.5 inches fit snugly under standard countertops at 35.5 inches tall.
What buyers say
Nine buyers give the REXT20SS 3.6 stars, a middling result that is consistent with the inherent tradeoffs of very compact electric ranges. Buyers in this category generally accept limited oven capacity in exchange for fitting a constrained space. The rating suggests most buyers found it functional but not exceptional for the price.
A 1.87 cu ft oven is quite small. Standard 9x13-inch pans may not fit depending on the exact interior dimensions. Quarter-sheet pans (13x9 inch), small casserole dishes, pizza pans up to about 12 inches, and toaster-oven-size bakeware will typically fit. If baking or roasting full-size items is important to you, this oven size will be a daily frustration.
Is the Summit REXT20SS suitable for an RV?
The REXT20SS runs on 240 volts, which is not standard for most RV electrical systems, many RVs operate on 120 volts or 12-volt DC power. If your RV has 240-volt shore power capability or an inverter system that can support 240V, it may be compatible, but this requires verification with an RV electrical specialist before purchasing.
Who makes the Summit REXT20SS and are parts available?
Summit Appliance is a US-based specialty appliance manufacturer that focuses on compact and under-counter appliance formats. They have an established parts and service network for their product lines, which is a meaningful advantage over less-established compact range brands when it comes to long-term serviceability.
