Summit Appliance has carved out a specific niche: compact, European-made dishwashers that fit where standard units won’t. The DW185SSADA is an 18-inch wide built-in model that stands just 32.25 inches tall, making it one of the few options designed for lower ADA-compliant counters. The leveling legs let you raise it to 34 inches if needed, and Summit includes an extra kickplate to seal the gap under the front. That detail keeps crumbs and dust from collecting underneath.

Performance is quiet and efficient. This unit is ENERGY STAR certified, so it uses less water and power than many full-sized competitors. The stainless steel door resists fingerprints and holds up to daily abuse. You get cycles for everyday dishware, glassware, pots, and delicate items. It handles a standard load of plates and cups without rattling or excessive noise.

One practical note: at 18 inches wide, this is a narrow dishwasher. It fits smaller kitchens, apartments, or accessible homes, but you won’t fit large baking sheets or oversized platters. The trade-off is a machine that slides into tight spaces and works reliably without sacrificing wash quality. If your counter height is non-standard, this is one of the few dishwashers that actually fits.
