I have been following this one user on YouTube for quite sometime now. And recently I went back to watch some of his older videos again. He has a commercial dishwasher for his basement and that got me into thinking, how many of you fellow members on here also have a commercial dishwasher that you use for your home? What are your overall thoughts of having one for residential use?

Very cool video thanks
My thoughts are :
Impractical for home use and my lasagna pans and plastics at 180 degrees plus
Where would I store all these specialty racks?
50 amp breaker ??
This is strictly a sanitizer--But very cool--Thanks for posting it | ||

True commercial dishwashers aren't practical for domestic use on several fronts.
First they are mainly sanitizers, that is dishes are pre-washed then put into dishwasher that finishes the job and sanitizes either with scalding hot water or chemicals. To achieve above you'll need either incoming hot water at proper temp (from water supply), or have a booster to bring water up to required temp. Some units will heat water but even with electricity you're going to need plenty of juice. As mentioned racks for commercial dishwashers need to be kept somewhere. Then there is fact these units normally aren't drained after cycle is over, the final rinse water (IIRC) is used for pre-rinsing next batch of dishes. If you're done for the day then dishwasher will have to be drained. Like many commercial washing machines these dishwashers lack pumps, merely drain valves. empoweredzine.com/commercial-dis... cheftalk.com/threads/commercial-... | ||

Had 2 very similar ones at my pub 
Although identical they were in the kitchen and the bar wash up area. Glasses and crockery would be just fine stacked and washed as it was collected they washed really well 3 min cycle including heating the rinse water all subsequent washes got heated by the rinse water and both machines had auto dosing from reservoirs built in to the cabinet.
The kitchen machine had a lot harder task and so the dispenser for the detergent stopped working and it was not worth the hassle of taking it out of service for a week while waiting for parts etc so at the first wash cycle we put in 4 scoops of wash powder and then a scoop every 4 loads or so. As stated in his video these were not made to wash like a domestic machine but were superb for speedy turn around of dishes etc. Excellent at removing lipstick and grease I guess due to the heat and detergent and did a good job at drying a quick polish with a glass towel and sparkling results every time !!

have had one for years
currently, have the same machine - (LXI) which replaced the wm5h which replaced a wmc1.
comes in handy when I have a lot going on. Plan on putting in a jumper switch at some point somehow so I can run the wash pump for an extended period of time prior to a cycle to get some extra cleaning capability. It didn't have built in chemical pumps so added an external detergent dispenser. Had picked this up and repaired/updated it to use at the church until we got the new AM15SCB installed. | ||

Miele has the Profi PG8133 that you can get in the 240v version, it'll run about 3299, has a 5 year residential warranty and the profi cycle is 25 minutes. There are 8100 watts worth of heating elements in the unit. It gets hot fast. It'll do a full saniwash in under an hour and a half.
That is my next dishwasher. I've wanted a hobart LXi, but I love my Miele Diamond that I have and I've installed several of the PG81 series and love using them. My customers love them as well. *edit* the only thing that has kept me from getting it is that my diamond has a tall items wash cycle, the profi does not. I don't get why Miele hasn't added that cycle, but I can take my diamond's middle rack out and put the racks from my viking oven in and wash them.
