- Having always wanted a commercial undercounter dishmachine, I came to realize some things only after installing one for myself. Here I run the machine and talk about the differences between this and a residential dishwasher.

Ah. So this is what the algorithm chose today.
Hi Lorde, please release your new album thank you
@@My.MusicChannel LOL
All hail the algorithm.
😂😂
I got it today. What will the future bring me tomorrow?
Things that I wonder why they are in my feed, but appreciate them nonetheless
Why do so many people have this wonder? It's in your feed because you once clicked on a video of a similar subject. Why is that so hard to figure out?
@@blogshagify I can assure you that I never watched a video on a dishwasher before. The edges of the algorithm are a bit loose to bring in new content. Check your assumptions.
@@blogshagify that's not generally how these algorithms work. Generally they look for people similar to you and share videos that those same people like.
@@Mrcaffinebean I think the algorithm tricks me into wanting to watch videos before showing them to me. I was just thinking to myself wow I would love a commerical dishwasher and this shows up. Google probably controls a good 60% of my thoughts at this point.
Not me, this of probably the dumbest video yt recommended me.
Literally laughing at you. I've worked in restaurants. Those dishwashers were hilariously fast. The idea of filling up the racks and running them in a home is crazy. I love it.
With, then. You're laughing with him.
As someone who just worked for the hobart warehouse, I'm laughing at how much this probably cost. Fortunately, he said he got it used. But everyone's got a hobby.
lol likewise, i'd be putting racks through one after the other come out the other side unpack then rack it up again "rinse and repeat". Kind of laughing as well, just from the aspect that i've always lived alone, an what i use for cooking ans such wouldn't even fill half of one of those a racks. Strangely enough, while i'm at work though, i think to myself "gee i'd love one of these at home", half kidding myself without really thinking about the practical aspects. So, i think i'll just stick with my couple of litres of hot water in the sink and do it by hand for the home use. :o)
@@trje246 i mean at that point you just need a real industrial dishwasher, eighter a tunnel to just the hood version so you no longer need to bend and lift the full racks :P
They are the best and worst thing ever got one of the bigger upright ones with the pull up cover for free after a restaurant closed...... Fire in the kitchen- insurance claim.
What was I say a month worth of dishes in 30 minutes, only problems is I good f it I'll do it tomorrow and end up with a month worth of pans and dishes
When my oldest niece was a baby (must have been 20 years ago now) family was at a restaurant, we all put tiny bits of food in a bowl for her we brought from home. The restaurant was nice enough to offer to wash the bowl.
Now, this bowl was plastic, and had one of those bake bean juice stains that just NEVER comes out. This bowl had been hand washed, dishwasher washed and scrubbed many many times, it was NEVER coming out.
Yet they taken the bowl, and then what I remember as minutes later (no idea how many minutes) the bowl came back and it was CLEAN... I mean SUPER clean. The bean stain was just gone completely. Not even a reminant of it left. It was like they had given us a new bowl.
It became the talking point of the rest of the night, but this was something I still remember. Something I have told my wife about decades later..
I always thought it would be great to have something that powerful in the home..
NOW I know, I don't want it. Too many compromises for the home environment for me.
But this video was great to finally answering a question I would never have ever done.
Dudes rock
Dudes rock
Dudes rock
the hell are these replies... lol
@@Badger1776 i am also concerned
The reveal that he was cleaning his furnace filters is hilarious to me
no spoilers pls ):
Those were large baking pans
@@SteveVi0lence he literally said it was furnace filters
Thats not dishes
Thought he said vents not filters
. I imagine with him being all about comercial equipment he has a hood system and those typically go on the dish washer
"to me, a dishwasher *should* sound like it's doing something" -- laughed my ass off at this calm but pointed assertion
Straight to the point, informative, you didn't make me sit through a 5 minute commercial on earbuds or NordVPN.
This is by far the part I appreciate the most!
why would he have sponsors he has less than 1000 subscribers, lol.
Ya sucks that we have to watch ads on a free service even tho the ads support the content providers .. I cant believe people why cant we just have everything we want for nothing what's wrong with this world
Sponsorblock is your friend
@@rvnx That is awesome. Thank you!
I knew it was going to be a good video when the first words I heard were "for years I've been fascinated with commercial dishwashers", and you didn't disappoint.
Not crazy but eccentric 😊. I'm a former Hobart factory trained technician and employed for ten years there. You've done your homework and have it properly installed. It's great for high volume and in your case, occasionally high volume. For every day use in a residence, no bueno. Like I said, you did your homework, well done👍
My grandparents had a 1970 Hobart residential which was the same as a commercial WM-5 but without the booster heater (low temp). I worked on it a little in the mid 90's but it was just a solid performer and needed little maintenance. The WM-5 laid the foundation for most all future designs to this day. Thanks for sharing!
Wonder if there exists something halfway between slow residential and high speed commercial..
@@Ultrajamz I'm guessing not. You domestic washer is designed to be energy/water efficient (not that that's a bad thing) - that monster is designed to just make stuff clean fast.
I do quite like the brute-elegance of the thing though - but would have to have discussion with my neighbours to ask if it's OK to punch through the wall to put my detergent in their kitchen..
Hello fellow former Hobart trained tech. Do you remember the fun with installing and servicing the FT1000?
what residential model would you recommend if you needed to buy one today?
@@Ultrajamz You could purchase the LXi-C which is chemical sanitizing (low temp). Eliminates the booster heater, separate hot water heater and high amp circuit breaker. No need to pre-heat a booster heater. Just fill and go!
I worked fast food for about a month and I was also fascinated by all the commercial equipment and how it compares to residential
Shit wait til you work in a decent restaurant if you still do food
got any examples? curious
@@nicholasjanssen320 I miss the 3 compartment sinks (rinse, wash, sanitize) with the high pressure sprayer. So easy to clean dishes that it makes me feel impatient when I have to clean them at home lol.
Also espresso machines are pretty nuts and intricate. Big metal boilers, You really get to see the P-V and P-T graphs come to life.
@@MrAminalCrackers same, i work at a bar, and just rinsining them and shoving them in is just so easy, and done in minutes lol
@@MrAminalCrackers I feel you! I work at Starbucks but also do espresso at home. The dishwasher and sprayer make dishes at home feel even more like a chore and the new-ish Mastrena II espresso machine is insane. Say what you may about Starbucks' coffee but that machine is an engineering marvel, at the low low price of something like $50,000
I can't even afford the most basic dishwasher, nor do I have the space to put one. But watching this at 4 AM is definitely worth it
After working in a restaurant for 3 years, I absolutely want an industrial dishwasher.
We have a commercial Hobart dishwasher in the bakery department where I work. The first time I had to use it I thought I used it wrong because it washed the dishes so fast!! Haha
I thought this was an old video that CZcams decided I should watch 10 years down the line.

As a professional chef, I scored a used commercial dishwasher similar to this one for my kitchen renovation. I love it. I can wash my Viking range stove top in it, my fridge drawers can go in it, almost anything. These are great !
I’ve always wondered why home dishwashers were so much slower than commercial and why more commercial dishwashers weren’t installed in more homes. Now I want a commercial dishwasher in my home even more.
Like was explained briefly in the video, the reason wash cycles are not 90 seconds in home machines is because a commercial dish machine is not really a dish washer. It is a dish sanitizer. Unlike in a home machine where as long as you get most of the chunks off of your dishes you can run them relatively dirty in your machine and they will come out clean, a commercial machine will not clean your dishes for you. Even if they come out clean commercial machines do not have built in macerator pumps to deal with food solids and you would almost certainly begin to have plumbing problems very quickly unless you fed the machine essentially clean dishes. While a home machine takes longer to run they are MUCH better suited to the home than a commercial machine. SOURCE: 5+ years in restaurant equipment sales industry
Residential dishwashers have enzymes in the detergent that break the food down over time. It's like soaking dishes to make it easier to clean. Time is a plentiful resource to people in their homes. Who produces more than a dishwasher worth of dishes in a day? It's very smart and efficient to make use of this time aspect. Restaurants do not have that time luxury. Commercial dishwashers are not installed in homes because it would be silly and wasteful to do so with no real benefit at best, but actual downsides (having to scrub dishes of all gross matter) at worst.
Accidentally burns down house
@@Vvardenfell_Outlander that’s why somewhere in the kitchen there is this sink like a lazy river but probably faster and more power full
Because you have to sponge the dishes first before you put them in. The commercial dishwasher does the last leg of the cleaning process.
For a residential home, given the low volume of stuff to be cleaned, having to pre-scrub will defeat most of the purpose of getting a dishwasher in the first place.
When I worked in a retirement homes as a dishwasher we had a commercial machine by Hobart that was on a stand so you’d slide the rack in from the left side and push it out the right side like an assembly line and I think the rinse cycle on that one was around the same temp and you’d damn near burn the shit out of your hands if you tried to immediately unload it.
That model was the "C" line. The final rinse temp is 180-190 degrees. I worked on them for ten years in the DC metro area.
Haha I remember that when I worked at a retirement home. You get used to the temp and just grab them off they trays as they come out
A fan blowing on the clean side helps to reduce overall burn severity, however most dish dogs (dish washing people) get callus on their fingertips after a while. Using clean gloves, a clean towel, or just waiting 60 seconds usually reduces the temperature of the items enough to be able to touch (with your callus fingertips) the items without anything more than a mild first degree burn. I still have callus to this day from when I worked in a kitchen (and that was over 10 years ago).
The fact that you'd burn yourself if you try to take it out immediately means it's working, assuming you actually get the gunk off first.
Based on this Video I ordered and installed a Lamber F92DYPS in my home kitchen, it has totally changed how dinner works at my house. Yup it is noisy but it does not take long, you can do all the dishes that were used for cooking wile the meal is finishing up on the stove and after eating it is just a few more racks and all the dishes are done, dry and put away. Entertaining when 20 people come over.....there is no dishes mess when everyone leave. Large bulk kitchen appliances are used more frequently as it is easy to clean them up. I have had mine for a year now and it cheaper on dish detergent one gallon lasted 850 racks of dishes at $10 for the gallon of detergent. Some stuff it is awsome how it can clean it off that my old dishwasher could not after 3 hours of running, however if the commercial dishwasher cant get it clean in 120 seconds, it wont get it clean in 15 min lol. I hope it lasts 20 years.........
That is awesome! I'm glad to hear also that the Lamber is a good alternative to the Hobart, as new they are quite spendy. Thanks for watching!
I do restaurant consulting and I am very familiar with these units.
I used to go down to the restaurant equipment auction once in awhile to buy stuff for clients and I would bring a friend. He had me bid on a Hobart dishwasher similar to this. It was a 3 phase unit. Luckily his backyard borders an office park with those warehouse doors and the like. So for reasons beyond my understanding, he paid to have 3 phase installed in his house, just for the dishwasher. Yea, I know. Anyway, he loves it and even installed a commercial pre-rinse wand that is hanging in his kitchen over the sink. His wife thinks it is a little much. Everyday is like Christmas when it is time to wash dishes. He now has a 3 phase commercial microwave (also from the auction) and had an HVAC guy come out and install 3 phase compressor for his house AC so it now runs on 3 phase. He thinks he is King of the World with his 3 phase and he loves to talk about it at get togethers. "Hey, does your house have 3 phase?". All inspired from the Hobart dishwasher machine.
I love this story lol. As someone who worked in kitchens for 17 years, I'd love to go the auctions but never had the chance - I always worked! :P
Something I now kinda want?! 😆
I thoroughly enjoyed your video! It was very informative and you did an excellent job in your presentation and explanation. I had no idea how much was involved with using a commercial machine. Thank you for uploading this video and sharing the mechanical details about it.
When I was a young boy in the early 1970’s my father was a volunteer fireman. At their clubhouse they had a commercial Hobart dishwasher that only had one red button on it. I don’t remember how long the cycles were but I definitely remember the pressure gauge and the big clouds of steam when you opened it up.
Ran one of those in a disused bunker, from the 60s. It still runs fine to this day. Completely mechanical!
My first job was in an older restaurant and the dishwasher there was of similar vintage. Pressure gauge (which was long broken) and a big red button. The cycles were 60 seconds each. We ran 2 cycles for regular dishes and 3 for silverware. The stoneware plates and coffee mugs could practically sear off your fingerprints when they first came out.
Wow! I used to work for Hobart from '95-2005. I vaguely remember that model. I think you had to hold the button to advance the timer to the start cam to initiate the cycle.
Interesting how the previous cycle’s rinse water is used for the new cycle! Thanks for sharing!
Whirlpool has a few models that does this same thing, unfortunately they're very uncommon
That is something that just landed in my recommendations and didn't know I needed, but I really appreciate this review, thank you Owen
Hey it's slippin jimmy
I have an upright CMA low temp machine in my garage. I fill it with a non sudsing degreaser flip it to the delimer cycle and run parts through it. It's a kick ass parts washer.
Having once worked in a commercial kitchen washing dishes, I have also thought having one at home would be neat. I now have a better understanding of how they work, and what would be required to have one at home (if I won the lotto!).
Thanks for all the interesting content you provide. You also have a great sense of dry humor .
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my channel.
I love that stuff and you are not crazy, there’s many of us like you out there! It’s just getting and acquiring the stuff and being able to situate it somewhere and use it.
this has been top of my recommended list for 2 days now... fine youtube, I'll watch it
My dream is to have this in my home. I managed a restaurant back in the day and they had a machine that washed dishes within minutes.
I was sick of my roommates not doing the dishes at home so I threw all our dishes in a box and took them to work. After hours all our dishes were done. Funny thing, I was so tired when I got home I didn’t bring the dishes in from my truck. Next morning my roommate thought someone broke into our house and stole all the dishes.... we had expensive guitars and amps, computers, all kinds of stuff laying around that place. I was like.... “you seriously think someone busted in here, stole all the dirty dishes.... but left all this?!?” Haha
But yeah after that experience and having to use that commercial washer I dreamt of having one for the house. Amazing how fast it cleans.
I love youtube comments because I have no clue who you are, but I now know some random strangers collage memories and it's going to stick with me forever
@@celestetimberlake6094 haha that’s great!
I had also wondered about buying a commercial oven + dishwasher for our current place - but this has helped me steer clear, at least on the dishwasher front!
This was really fascinating! Thank you for taking the time to make this!
I had 2 similar units in my last house. I got them at an auction when I was buying things for my restaurant. Clean-up after a dinner party was a snap! I usually only used 1 for daily, but it was nice to have both. You're not kidding about the steam. Shew! 2 loads each and the room was a sauna.
LOL how were they on power?
On the one hand, takes a lotta juice to heat the water, on the other a regular dishwasher is running a heater and a pump for what, 45 minutes?
I was always planning on installing one in my own home. Just the fact you can wash all your dishes immediately and not have to wait Long periods and leave dirty dishes in the kitchen.
Love the installation man. Really nicely done
We have a big family and the sinks are full most of the day , waiting for the dishwasher to be done. We typically run 3-4 cycles that take 2 hours a piece. Then whenever you see it's done you unload and load it again. So it's always either running or waiting for someone to unload and load it. My wife often just washes stuff by hand so we can finally have an empty counter for once. I'm thinking one of these would be good for us. Maybe one of those that's standing height with a sink next to it.
@@castirondudethat's some high bill
As someone who also shares your industrial appliance fascination, this was a very informative video. Thank you.
Your clear explanations were fantastic on commercial dishwashers . What an excellent tutorial!
I'm 100% certain I used this exact model of dishwasher when I worked in fast food. Interesting seeing a review of it for home use, and I expected it would have limited use in a home setting. I absolutely remember having to spray and scrub all of our dishes to get the crumbs out. Dishwasher got some of them, but not much. Thank you for the unique content!
I love it when people have the most specific hobbies. No explanation needed why this guy chose commercial dishwashers. I got interested just watching this.
Starts video: This dishwasher is amazing, we should all have one!
See's whole backroom with pipes and hoses: oh, never mind then...
It has a drain and a water feed...
thats just a normal room for plumbing, the only real difference is that it runs on its own 240V 50A box
@@haroldflower8008 unless you’re in aus and have 240v...
My opinion remains the same. I want one.
Thats not that bad
I would never have chosen to watch a video such as this, but you made it interesting. The differences between commercial and consumer dishwasher washing processes would never have occurred to me. I would have assumed, as you did, that a commercial unit would have just been an amped up the consumer washing process. Thanks for the video.
Thank you very much for posting. I have been interested for years in adding a Hobart dishwasher to my house. Now I know that I really just want two regular home dishwashers.
Thanks Owen great commentary, love these commercial washers very nice home setup you have
I was just thinking last week while I was doing dishes at work how nice it would be to have a commercial dishwasher at home. Not sure why this video happened to pop up but I'm glad it did.
Also that's a nice bar you got.
I thought I might be perceived crazy for wanting a commercial dishwasher for home use, given how much room they have to hold large loads, quick and easy they are to operate, but I'm so glad to see someone else with similar ingenious idea in making cleanups after cooking at home so much easier
Hi Owen your far from crazy love the dishwasher I had commercial 110 volt Hobart fresh water machine years ago it was a wash n two rinse machine it was the units they used in dukun Donets in the70s used it for quite a while then got bored with n replaced with regular machine but should have kept it around anyway enjoy 👍👍👍👍
No idea why this was recommended to me. However it was very informative and well done. Thank you for teaching me something new.
I work in a kitchen, I know all about how these work. Yet here I am watching. Good video dude
I worked at a summer camp once and we had a counter top Hobart. But this one had a conveyer belt that continuously dragged trays through if you put the loaded ones close enough to the start of the machine.
Great video. I have always considered using a commercial unit at home. This is good information.
I was just wondering about these. You really scratched that "what if" itch i had, thank you.
10/10 Owen, excellent video. I've loved commercial dishwasher since I used one at Boy Scout camp ... a few years ago.
I worked in the food industry for years. We had a Hobart in the back and we always taught new employees on it and to call it "the sanitizer" because that's really what it's meant for, sterilizing. And it actually works really well as that. If you put heavily soiled dishes in there, it won't wash it off and, instead, it will bake the build up onto the plate and making it harder to wash off. But once you rinse the dishes, it's fast and makes them very clean. Washing dishes can create cross contamination from dirty dishes to clean ones, so this machine is meant to kill off bacteria which simple washing won't. In a place where dishes are in constant rotation, this is very important because dishes won't sit out air drying (and drying with a cloth is not allowed since that's also a form of cross contamination).
I love being have found the community that is also fascinated by commercial items and dishwashers
I Love This! Been potwashing for about 3 years now and honestly its so satisfying!! I've also 'joking' about getting one at home!..
My dad is an appliance technician. He mostly works on home washers, but he can fix most anything. He is super good at his job, and he used to work on a bunch of different machines in things like residents and restaurants. He's gotten the number 1 tech in the nation a couple times.
I remember using one of these many years ago. That washer would def get really hot and clean really well.
I've wanted to do this for years and now I want to do it even more. Will pair nicely with my Combi oven
Love the amount of detail in this video :)
My uncle used to have a commercial dishwasher in his house, he absolutely loved it
I think its funny how simple the controls of this professional machine are, whereas a home dishwasher almost wants to know the exact amount and composition of dishes put in it, this one just cleans everything as well as it can do
Alot if not most of the “features” on modern household appliances are in my opinion just marketing bs with no real use, for example do you ever actually use the “smart features” and programs on your microwave?
There are very good reasons for them on consumer grade machines though where time isn't as important as other aspects like water and power consumption or fragility of the contents. Sure you probably don't use other modes than your regular one 95% of the time but during or after a large family gathering or party you might need quicker washing or have wine glasses or excess / dried up dirt on dishes
@@angrydoggo5066 the popcorn button doesn't even always work on microwaves!
Some high end ones detect popping through detecting pressure in the microwave. I wish only the buttons that actually did something were on microwaves.
They leave blank buttons on base model cars, why not microwaves? I literally only need easy power level adjust and a timer.
@@angrydoggo5066 2 knobs are needed for a microwave
One for time and one for power
If I ever make it rich I'd love to have a "dish pit" in my house. As well as a commercial-ish kitchen. Would be amazing and I'd be probably be in there every free second.
You have a lovely basement/bar. Thanks for this.
This is freaking cool though. I used to be a dishwasher at a few restaurants right out of high school.
I love those machines.
Didn't search for this but it's very informative. Thank you
I want to get one of these for my new place. Great video!
This will be a fun toy to clean up after cocktails at the Royal Vale lounge next time I'm there...
love mine! have one at school too. have the one at school set up for about 40 racks a hour. The other day, set mine at home to a 70 degree rise booster and found the the wash time is now 3 1/2 minutes which allows dirtier dishes to go in. Send me a message if you want the info to adjust the settings as there are different ways to get into the programming. Also have it setup to rinse until the probe satisfies so get about 5 or more seconds on a rinse cycle. have a stand alone chemical pump because mine did not come with them installed.
When I was in culinary at my school they had 3 of these dishwashers and they were so good. If you had something that was gunned on it would sometimes get them out depending on how stuck on the thing was. If you burned rice in a pot you had to let the thing soak over night or hand wash it because even though this is powerful, it won’t blast off anything that’s very stuck.
Edit: The reason there’s no dry cycle is because whatever you put in there becomes very very very hot due to the 190 degree rinse water. So any left over water will just gently evaporate off due to the heat from the item.
I love how fast they are!
Speaking as a plumber who's had to service that exact model multiple times, make sure you can still pull it out and work on it. The mechanisms for operation (heating tank, manifold, pump, etc) are all on the bottom and are inaccessible without pulling off the side panels. As some parts like the manifold can crack and need to be replaced it's a process that can take upwards of a couple of hours. Since it's a used model, expect a leak eventually. Also, as it's designed for commercial kitchens I'm sure you've noticed that the feet aren't exactly friendly to laminate floors. I've found that using puckboard (polyethylene) is great for protecting floors from such damage.
@larsblizer’s comment is the one to heed. Functionally, these dishwashers are fantastic. However the cost of ownership is also much higher compared to residential machines. The chems can eat through pumps and you’re already foreseeing how the steam + wood is problematic in the long term. Be prepared for a significant amount of maintenance in the years to come, not just to the machine itself, but that part of your home, and you’ll save yourself some headaches.
Not at all what we used at Zeller's restaurant. It was basically a somewhat contained pressure washer with a barrel over it. Sprayed hot water all over the place, and sometimes cutlery too.
I like your energy and I think that this is perfectly fine
Having worked with one that opens upwards, the scorching hot water trickling on your arm is quite refreshing during a night shift
I work on these things, and never thought about buying one for the home. I need to reconsider.
I considered installing only commercial appliances in a new residence, and have friends who have done so. Efficiency and longevity come to mind. Spending a great deal of money on cabinets, stone countertops, and top of the line appliances, one can easily spend $100,000 on a new kitchen or a remodel. Reasoning is that the higher cost of commercial equipment is actually cheaper in the long run. And, the equipment easily removed should the house sell and a new owner chooses a traditional kitchen.
Very nice. Thanks for the enthusiastic demonstration.
Had one of those at my work. People would skip the rinse step and just keep hitting wash till it was done. They even would use the cleaners for the pots in it that were designed to sit in the pot for 30 minutes then rinsed out as it cleaned the pots in one cycle doing it this way. Our repair man said he never had to do monthly visits for one of these machines to replace the internal pipes. Turns out that pot cleaner eats through them. People just waited for management to leave to continue doing it. It is amazing what people will do to get an extra few minutes of doing nothing at work.
You say you're crazy, but I've also thought about having one in my home. Glad to see there see more crazies like me.
'For years I've been fascinated by commercial dishwashers'.
You had me right there.
Glad I wondered past this gem. Thank you for sharing.
I had the same one. That brings back so many memories lol
I love the auto dispensing detergent and rinse aid. I wish residential dishwashers had that option. I could store those two bottles right under the sink in the cabinet next to my dishwasher, and never have to worry about putting the stupid tablet or pac or whatever, each time, and then also having to keep my rinse aid compartment filled up.
Omg we have a Hobart at the coffee shop that I work at and it’s so badass it washes/sanitizes a whole load in like 20 seconds
Thanks for the demonstration! No clue why it was in my recommended, but it was interesting!
What a delightful video! Thank you!
Thank you for this video.
Im always thinks about the same idea for my home.
Exactly what I wanted to watch this sunday morning.... Good CZcams algo
I guess I'm crazy too. I've always wanted one for big family gatherings! Thank you !
Nice! As you say, I HATE that my Kitchen Aid dishwasher often seems to make no (or hardly any) noise. "Sometimes" this is owing to a blockage in the spray arms (that needs attention), and sometimes it's not: but you can't tell which it is until it finishes: if the dishes are not clean, it is the former. Also, the pathetically long cycles are really tedious.
You sir are my hero. I love this suff.
Never considered in my life to buy one. Now I want one more than anything!
Super practical for commercial use, for home use not so much. I still wouldn't mind one.
used to have this exact thing at my work, and i've always wondered what it would be like to have one at home.
You’re not crazy!! I like commercial things too placed a low bid on a small cafe set of appliances for fun ended up winning 2 Dish washers 2 huge stand freezers a fridge and some other odds and ends and then are all hooked up and working in my “old garage that we converted into my man cave”.
It’s over kill but it’s fun to talk about
You sir, are an absolute legend.
Was always curious about those myself. Thanks.
I see the 30 year old GE standing pilot natural draft furnace there! Those were great furnaces but it’s time to check those heat exchangers real good!
I am your 1000th subscriber :)
I've worked in a big kitchen with one of those giant conveyor-belt dishwashers. It was a school kitchen for a school of 800 students. Two people manning the dishwashing room, one with the big spray, one managing the machine and sorting dishes. Lunch is about an hour long where 700 of those students will leave their dishes throughout and the machine will have cleaned it all at the end. 700 glasses, plates, sets of utensils. Toughest job is being the bastard in the back with the machine, having to sort and unload everything coming through because if too many of those crates come through on the conveyor belt and it builds up, it'll hit an emergency switch and stop the entire chain.
That's a dishwasher that takes up half the room however, one crate goes through it, spends approx 20 seconds inside and comes out clean.
Well you're not the only crazy one. Ive got 2 of them in my house here in Canada. One upstairs kitchen and one downstairs basement. We cook and bake all day , its a food operation constantly in my house..I love it, don't think i can ever go back to a normal dishwasher.Our hydro bills are $400 Canadian every month, so not too bad when we're making money out of it
