Essential Buying Considerations
Capacity and Size
- Measure your under-counter space—most 350mm units need about 50cm width.
- Consider 12-16 glasses per load capacity—match to your peak hour demands.
- Check glass height clearance—taller pint glasses need adequate internal space.
Water and Power Requirements
- Most run on standard 13A plugs—no special wiring needed.
- Water connection requires 3/4 inch inlet—check your plumbing setup.
- Consider models with water softeners for hard water areas.
How Commercial 350mm Basket Glasswashers Work
These clever machines work by combining just the right water pressure, temperature and detergent to blast away lipstick marks, beer residue and fingerprints. The 350mm basket holds around 12 pint glasses (or more wine glasses) which are sprayed from multiple angles by powerful jets. Water heats to 60-65°C to sanitize glasses properly, while rinse cycles typically reach 82°C for that bacteria-killing final touch. Most models use a rotating wash arm system that ensures every glass gets thoroughly cleaned, with cycles running between 90-180 seconds. When finished, glasses come out hot enough to air-dry quickly—ready for your next round of thirsty customers!

Top Tips for Using Commercial 350mm Basket Glasswashers
To keep your glasswasher running like a dream, scrape off any food debris before loading, and arrange glasses upside down with space between them for proper water circulation. Check and clean the wash arms and filters daily—it takes just a minute but prevents blockages. Use proper glasswasher detergent and rinse aid rather than washing-up liquid which causes excessive foaming. Consider investing in water softener salt if you're in a hard water area to prevent limescale buildup that can damage elements and leave glasses cloudy.

Real-World Success with Commercial 350mm Basket Glasswashers
The Crown & Anchor in Bristol was struggling with their glass washing routine. On Friday nights, they'd have staff dedicated solely to washing glasses, yet still couldn't keep up with demand. After installing one of our 350mm glasswashers, everything changed. 'It's been absolutely brilliant,' says landlord Dave. 'We've cut glass washing time by 70% and freed up a staff member to serve customers instead. The glasses are cleaner, we've reduced breakages, and customers have noticed their pints look better in spotless glasses. It's paid for itself in just six months through labour savings and increased turnover.'
