Why do domestic dishwasher cycles take hours instead of being extremely fast like commercial dishwashers?
In: 858
First off, commercial dishwashers are frequently actually sterilizers. You need to wash the dishes before they go in. Strong chemicals and extremely hot water are also involved.
Home dishwashers have no real need for speed. Do you really care how many hours it takes to finish when you’re sleeping anyway? If you really need that one thing, you’re just going to hand wash it anyway. Much more relevant performance metrics are things like energy efficiency and noise.
Contrast this with a restaurant which has to get another sitting going immediately after you leave. They need those dishes back immediately and they have the health inspector breathing down their neck at the same time…
