This blog is a guide for you to get the latest updates about ADA compliant appliances and furniture in your kitchen. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush. The purpose of this legislation was to ensure that people with disabilities have access to goods, services and programs on par with their able-bodied peers. Here we will provide you the best products that are ADA compliant.
This website is dedicated to ADA compliant appliances and furniture. It includes a history of the Americans with Disabilities Act and ADA compliance as well as current news and information on ADA compliant products such as kitchen appliances and furniture.
Products will be reviewed with an eye towards accessibility and practicality of use for people with disabilities. We hope to provide useful information for anyone who has mobility challenges whether they are the result of a permanent disability, an accident or aging.
I am passionate about helping people with disabilities find the highest quality ADA compliant appliances, furniture and equipment. In this blog I want to share my experiences as well as help you find the best deals on ADA compliant products.
I have been an advocate of helping people with disabilities for over 15 years. In that time I have developed strong relationships with vendors of ADA compliant appliances and furniture. These relationships allow me to get the best pricing and service on products such as:
Accessible dishwashers
Accessible refrigerators
Accessible stoves
Accessible microwaves
The mission of this blog is to educate home owners, builders and architects on the importance of creating an ADA compliant living environment. To make your kitchen ADA compliant it is important to understand the minimum requirements according to the American Disabilities Act.
This is a dishwasher and is ADA compliant. It is new, it has never been used. It has a stainless steel interior and is made by Whirlpool. The door is reversible so that it can be opened from the right or left side.

All ADA compliant dishwashers must be open for the user to load and unload. There is no way around this requirement, so the dishwasher you choose has to be able to work with your kitchen. The easiest way is to make sure that the door does not swing into a traffic path. Alternatively, you can install a pocket door or another type of sliding door.

Most kitchens have appliances on either side of their dishwasher, but there are some that are designed with one appliance on top of the other on either side of the dishwasher. This makes it difficult to install any type of door that swings open because it will interfere with the appliance doors on either side of it. If you like this type of design, I recommend putting your refrigerator on top of your built-in oven and using a pull-out drawer microwave instead of an over-the-range microwave/hood combo.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, sex, national origin, and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications.
The ADA is divided into five titles (or sections) that relate to different areas of public life. The title that affects businesses most often is Title III, which addresses places of public accommodations. This includes hotels, restaurants, stores and other businesses that are open to the general public; any place that sells goods or provides services in commerce.
