Operational Distinctions for Glass Washers

Hobart LXGeH Glass Washer

The LXGeH is a specialized, high-temp glass washer

that prioritizes presentation and hygiene. It is designed

to gently yet thoroughly clean glassware without

etching or spotting, making it ideal for premium front-

of-house operations. Its compact size allows it to fit

under a standard counter, and its low noise level means

it can be installed in open-bar settings. This unit is not

ideal for heavily soiled dishes or metalware, but excels

in high-demand glass turnover.
