this is a commercial style, considered used for a bar type application, would something like this work in a home environment, a quick sanitizing wash, maybe as a second dishwasher...for pots and pans as well?...

These I think would be costly to run in a domestic application unless you have no worries.
This machine needs to maintain 160F wash sump heat and a final rinse booster temp of 180F final rinse. Once you fill the machine, you would need for it to reach it's 2 main temps. After that, it would be debateable whether to leave the machine on for the rest of the day , or drain it down, and refire it for it's next use.
I think these have an aprox. 4 minute cycle. After the WM series I really could give a crap what they do anymore as these machines became more complicated and less reliable.
My interest with Hobart decreased after the AM- 9 series and after the WM and UM were discontinued. Also with the C-44 with the revolving Upper Wash Arm. To me then the engineering decreased. stevet will disagree with me, but these were the designs I most cared for. The XM series which hardly anyone knows about anymore were also the last of the "Cast Iron Work Horses". Just my Opinion of Hobart these days. ( And God only knows why they dropped the KitchenAid Line).

I'm guessing that it would be fairly expensive to have an electrician wire up the electrical service for this.. |

My neighbor has a B&B and she has this dishwasher. From what she tells me and from what I see when I help her out during peak occupancy it is a great product. It makes dealing with the dishes very quick. It does require 240V service. Because of the temperatures she does not have any problems with the health department during the annual inspection of the kitchen.

I had one that looked like the one in the ad that Martin posted except it was a chemical feed machine, it ran fine and I sold it to a Church that was remodeling their kitchen. We also have a 17 style Hobart Commercial DW here that needs going over, it is the same one that many of you have seen and used at my brothers house. It was originally a chemical disinfecting machine that either needed an external water heater booster tank or a very good supply of 140 degree+ water. But Jeff removed the chemical feed system and just runs it on his domestic hot water supply which is probably no more than 140 and probably a little less and this machine dose an amazing job in under 5 minutes.
I have a couple of other Hobart Commercial DWs laying around at he Warehouse and two others that are not Hobart machines. I have one Hobart that is from around 1988 that still has the KA 18 style pump and motor in it, this machine is 50 Amp machine and we will hook it up at our warehouse and use it for cleaning refrigerator parts Etc.
Why Hobart and Kitchen parted ways.
Kitchen home appliances were losing money and having lots of product problems by the early 1980s. It is much like what happened with Jeep automobiles when American Motors owned Jeep, they had a great product but didn't have the where with all to really make it work, once Chrysler got Jeep it became a great success story even today. WP greatly improved KA DWs and other KA appliances and if WP had not purchased the KA name it may have gone to WCI or just have gone out of production like Frigidaire appliances did. Yes it could have been much worse, LOL.
Today Kitchen-aid DWs are still the most respected well liked brand of DWs available for the home. You can't say that about Frigidaire major appliances. |
