In the world of commercial warewashing, undercounter dishwashers offer the perfect blend

of compact design and high performance. Often resembling residential units in appearance,

these machines are engineered for speed, durability, and consistent sanitization — making

them a go-to solution for bars, cafés, bistros, coffee shops, and satellite service areas. While

small in size, these units pack serious capability. Cycle times typically range from 30 to 90

seconds, depending on soil load and cycle setting, meaning they can turn over multiple racks

of dishes in a fraction of the time a household dishwasher would.

One of the most notable advantages of undercounter dishwashers is that they are typically

the only commercial dishwashing option that does not require a dedicated Type 2 condensate

hood. While high-temperature models do produce steam, the volume is generally low enough

— and the release contained enough — that local health and building codes often exempt

these units from mandatory ventilation. That said, confirming with your local inspector is

always a smart move, especially when dealing with high-temp installations.
