These are at least $3000 new I had one the other year here at my shop and tried it out a little. I found it didn't work very well as a home machine you need to use several different chemicals and prerinse the dishes to make the dishes come out looking good. I ended up selling it to a church for $1500. I do have two other ones at the warehouse and am going to install at least one in the shop, I find they are good for doing quick cleaning of ref parts etc.

By and large aren't the same as one thinks when compared to domestic versions.
In restaurants, catering, and so forth dishes are well scraped, pre-rinsed and even pre-washed before going into the machine. In short they are more "sanitisers" and for getting the last bits of soils off dishes at temps. By and large the long cycles required to get the job done as with domestic dishwashers wouldn't fly in commercial settings, too many dishes required too quickly. IIRC, Hobart units such as the one above come either with built in water temp "boosters" and or are fed from direct hot water supplied from the building. Much depends on if the health code law required sanitation is done via high temperature final rinse, or via chemicals (usually chlorine bleach). In many cases there is a small demand hot water heater located near the unit and can be set to provide the 180F water needed for thermal sanitation, or set lower to allow the machine to boost the water to the desired temp. |

But what's great about these machines, especially if you do any sort of large scale cooking at home or like to have a lot of dinner parties, is that you can "send" everything but the tableware (the delicate stuff)through these machines in less than 3 minutes and 80% of the stuff comes out cleaner than if you hand washed it. The remainder of the pots and pans that have little bits left behind can be cleaned by hand later on. It's a great thing to have as a second or auxiliary dishwasher. I use one of these machines every day, one that does have a booster inside, and it does a very good job. If I had the money, I would buy one.

Granted such things aren't really the best choice for such settings, many are drawn to commercial dishwashers to use at home because they are able to, in theory, process huge amounts of dishes quite quickly.
I mean if one had a "Dugger" size family, and even more so after all those children grow up and have familes of their own, come any major holiday/family get together there are going to be vast amounts of dishes. Most modern water stingy dishwashers run cycles >2hrs, so even with two it could take ages to get all that washing done. Commercial dishwashers aren't practical for home use, IMHO for so many reasons. Space required to store racks, space under or near for detergent and rinse aids that are pumped in, last rinse water saved for next cycle (though some machines IIRC can be set to "dump" this water", and so forth. |

Too bad Miele doesn't sell their "domestic Professional" in the US. They look like a regular dishwasher and have the regular racking system but are much more powerful. Looking at the Professional range from Miele USA, they more like dishwashers for a lab and the rack seem inconvenient.
