It also says a lot about how the author relates to restaurants, where a faster dishwasher is a selling point. Faster is separately important from throughput, because if it the takes 3 hours to run the dish washer, that’s a lot of plates that need to be washed and stacked all at once for a restaurant, and a lot of dishwashers needed to handle that volume.

Tbf, commercial dishwashers are totally different type of device than home dishwashers.

Even within the commercial dishwasher space, there's some pretty different versions. I worked at a hotel where we had normal smallish cube dishwashers [1] for some of the smaller restaurants, but they also had an ~8foot long conveyor belt dishwasher for one of the busier restaurants, and for the banquet section they had a ~20+ foot conveyor belt dishwasher[2].

They also had multiple dishwasher stations just to deal with pots and pans that were similar to 1, but way bigger. I once fit a huge stainless steel butchers sink in one (iirc it was like 6.5x4ft? They could fit a whole pig, or half a cow in it)

2: Similar to https://sc01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1DzUTn0zJ8KJjSspk762F7VXav/231... They needed it because they'd have 1000+ people/night for banquets (sometimes even 1000+ people in a single banquet)

Yeah the domestic variety, dont rinse the cleaning chemicals off the dishes properly, so they always stink of gunk after they have been cleaned.

I think it would be healthier to employer someone to wash and rinse dishes properly, like a servant.

>>so they always stink of gunk after they have been cleaned

No, that's just the issue of detergent people use, some brands are perfumed to high hell and more because people have this weird idea that the stronger it smells the better it cleans - which is obviously nonsense. You should be aware that with some smells it's not an issue of not enough rinsing - they linger no matter how much you rinse and rinse and rinse - it's not a safety issue.

If you want to have clean dishes with zero smell afterwards, get something like the Finish 0% tablets, they aren't perfumed at all, so there is no smell when you open the dishwasher. I use them for that reason alone.

You should clean your dishwasher, and check you aren't using too much detergent. (You know you aren't supposed to fill up the detergent holder to the top?)
