The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other vacuum sealers, built-in and countertop dishwashers, food slicers, meat and grain grinders, spice mills and kitchen prep appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The DW2435SSADA carries ADA compliance in its model name, making it purpose-built for accessible kitchen designs where the dishwasher must fit within a lower counter clearance. Summit Appliance specializes in compact and specialty appliances, and this model reflects that focus. The stainless steel color is standard, and the unit is rated for 12 place settings.
At $1,065.22, this is a premium for the specialty use case. The 4.2-star rating across 14 reviews is encouraging, though 14 buyers is a modest pool. For an ADA-specific appliance, a 14-review sample may still be one of the larger ones available in this narrow category.
No noise rating, dimensions, or voltage spec is published for this model. For ADA installs, the exact height and depth specs are critical and should be confirmed with Summit directly before purchase. The near-zero listed weight of 0.01 lb is clearly a data entry error and should be disregarded.

Rated at 12 place settings in stainless steel. No noise level, wattage, dimensions, or voltage is listed. The weight field shows 0.01 lb, which is a data error and should not be used. For ADA-compliant installs, verify exact height and door clearance specs with Summit Appliance before purchase.

Frequently asked questions
What does ADA-compliant mean for a built-in dishwasher?
ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance for dishwashers typically means the unit is designed to fit under a counter that is lower than standard height, usually around 32 to 34 inches rather than the typical 36 inches. This allows wheelchair users to reach controls and load the unit more easily. It is a specific requirement for accessible kitchen designs.
Why does the Summit DW2435SSADA cost over $1,000?
ADA-compliant dishwashers are a specialty product with a smaller production volume than standard models. Summit Appliance focuses on niche appliance categories, and the premium reflects the specialized design required to meet ADA clearance standards. Buyers who do not need ADA compliance will find equivalent performance in standard models at lower prices.
Is the listed weight of 0.01 lb accurate for the DW2435SSADA?
No, 0.01 lb is not a realistic weight for a full-size built-in dishwasher. This appears to be a data entry error in the listing. A dishwasher of this type typically weighs somewhere in the range of 70 to 110 lb. Contact Summit Appliance directly for the accurate shipping and installed weight.
