Does it make more sense to have a commercial under counter ware washer (Dishwasher) for home use rather than standard residential type?

Been using dishwasher for years. Due to large load need to replace machines every five or so years. As annual load is 850-875 cycles (twin rack machine) on commercial side it will convert to daily 12/15 racks at end of day. With 1.5kw/hr of residential machine doing 5 hrs a day a quick runs of commercial (3 mins per rack for 15 racks 45mins with 3.5 kw/hr) may be actually cheaper with longer life span.

    You have a lot of dish washing. Yes It may be advantageous to use a commercial machine. They are usually built better with longer life and more repairable but parts are also more expensive. You are on the edge of that decision. I would try one once to see if it really is better. It probably is in your case.

    It sounds like you have a group home with lots of dishes. It would be a write off item so the cost will be less. Ask your accountant.
