Starting this thread not to sidetrack another one, but for years have been mulling over getting a commercial machine. My thinking is if I can enjoy a commercial Speed Queen washer and Bunn Coffee maker (which are by far the best non vintage things I've used), why not a commercial dishwasher?
The question is, anyone have an idea which machine is the best overall? I notice the price varies between 2,500 and 7,500, but unsure why that is or if its worth it. Also is a pumped rinse better or a fill and wash type rinse? I'm looking for a low temp machine (can use the existing 20amp 120 volt line), but not totally closed off to the idea of a high temp. Sump heater is a must. I plan on disabling the pumped detergent/rinse-aid/sanitizer and tossing in a packet instead. | ||

miele How about this Miele. 240 volt but you could probably use the existing line with a new breaker. 25 minute cycle. $3799.00. CLICK HERE TO GO TO 48bencix's LINK | ||

Neat! :)
The line coming into the outlet box is a MWBC, so no issue with the wiring. I will research that machine further. This comes out cheaper, but how does it compare to the Meile longevity wise?

Wanted to suggest that as well. Tank machines for household use are highly inefficent. The whole filling and heating procedure takes far to long and far to much energy to run only 1 or 2 loads. Further household detergent dosen't properly work in a 60-120sec main wash. These Mieles use commercial technology, but are tankless and can run normal cycles where needed... | ||

Efficiency and time
Yahhh, Thats true. And those 60 seconds leave a lot to be desired. But what absolutely slaps me right back into desire is the durability and robustness. Commercial machines have so many vintage traits (including up to the fill flume on some models) that it really feels like buying a machine from back in time, brand spanking new. The first big arm Kitchenaids would be one of those that I have in mind.
Personally I think the only thing missing from commercial machines is a resi timer. All the other parts are there and well worth it. The detergent pumps are the only things thats over kill. Ideally something like a 16 minute prewash (start heavy), 4 minute rinse (start normal), 25 minute main wash, 2 minute rinse and a 5 minute final rinse with a 165*F thermal hold will get the job done 99% of the time. 30 second fills 1 minute drains as is now, 5 amp motor 12 amp heater as with most low temp models. | ||
