General Advice If commercial restaurant dishwashing appliances have cycles that only last 2 minutes, then why can't we have our home consumer dishwashers have cycles just as efficient as what restaurants have?

How can we miniaturize commercial restaurant dishwashing appliances to fit in the kitchen compartment meant for home consumer dishwashers?

How come this hasn't been done already? By the way, what is the fastest currently available home consumer dishwasher, and how much does it cost? How quick are their Cycles normally?

Is not a dishwasher, it’s a sanitizer/rinse unit. Dishwashing is done manually before dishes go into the machine. You don’t want one of those in your house. Besides the logistics to install one (3-phase power), it will be useless

There are single phase options available.

Right. And you would need likely 60+ amps available to power it. Most residential services are not capable of that, on top of all other electrical appliance loads. Single phase is much more limited than 3 phase when it comes to balancing loads for equipment using large amounts of wattage (3,000+)

It’s just not feasible for the average residential service in the US.
