ADA Compliant Undercounter Appliances


SUMMIT offers the industry's largest collection of 32 inch high ADA compliant appliances to fit under lower counters. Designed to meet ADA guidelines in public accommodations, commercial establishments, and assisted living facilities, these units are available for built-in and freestanding installation. Our growing series includes professional icemakers, ENERGY STAR qualified dishwashers, and a complete line of refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and all-freezers with icemakers in an array of styles for professional, household, and medical settings.

The Right Height

Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, countertops in public accommodations may not exceed 34 inches in height. In order for a typical appliance to fit under a lower counter, it must be no higher than 32 inches (as the countertop itself is usually another 2 inches). ADA compliant SUMMIT products--including refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, and dishwashers--are 32 inches high, enabling them to fit in public accommodations that must comply with ADA guidelines, as well as assisted living facilities that require ADA accessibility.
