In our last blog post, we discussed the different types of commercial dishwashers and what business operations and applications they are best suited to.
In Part Two, we discuss the different ranges available, their key features and what questions to ask your supplier in order to choose the right commercial dishwasher for your business.
Entry Level Commercial Dishwashers
For efficiency and ease of operation, entry-level commercial dishwashers are ideal for operations with minimal warewashing requirements who seek a quick and easy ‘touch-and-go’ solution.
With the price-conscious operator in mind, these units are ideal for those wanting to upgrade from a domestic dishwasher, offering better efficiency and reduced energy and water bills.
These ranges may come with less functions, but if you don’t require all the bells and whistles of a mid-range or premium commercial dishwasher, the entry-level will give you the best value for money.
Buyer Beware: There are many ‘cheap’ models available on the market, but don’t be tempted by the price. For reliability and true value for money, look out for the following features:
- Reputable brand that is backed by reliable service support.
- Drain pumps, detergent and rinse aid dosing.
- Upper and lower wash and rinse arms.
- Always read the labels. Check the water consumption.
Mid Range Commercial Dishwashers
The middle of the market offers all the standard features of an entry-level commercial dishwasher, plus the flexibility and benefits of adding additional features and options.
- Reputable brand that is backed by reliable service support.
- Stronger components, such as high-quality stainless steel wash and rinse arms.
- Controlled chemical.
- Always read the labels. You should benefit from reduced water consumption.
Premium Commercial Dishwashers
- Reputable brand that is backed by reliable service support.
- Get the right advice. A consultation with your supplier is imperative.
- Consider your space. Modifications are available.
- High volume doesn’t have to mean high cost. Units should manage capacity whilst reducing utility bills.
- Ask your supplier about planned maintenance programs to ensure your dishwasher runs efficiently and remains reliable.
