Commercial underbench and under-bench dishwashers for cafés, bars, small restaurants and commercial kitchens where bench space and under-counter clearance dictates equipment size — 10 models covering standard underbench dishwashers and underbench glasswashers from BlastWash, Asber Tech-Line, Fagor and WashMaster. Part of our wider commercial dishwashers range — browse there for pass-through and conveyor formats, or see the dishwasher hub for the full selection. Read our guide on why an under-bench dishwasher is a game changer for small kitchens to confirm fit before you buy.
Choosing a commercial underbench dishwasher
Key specs are wash-cycle time (90–120 seconds for high-speed models), rack size (400×400 mm or 500×500 mm), and whether the unit includes a built-in drain pump (essential if your floor drain is above the unit's base). Glasswasher variants use shorter cycles and softer wash arms for glassware — worth the dedicated unit in bar or café settings. Full buying checklist in our guide on freestanding vs under-bench dishwashers.
Popular picks include the BlastWash Underbench Dishwasher AT50U — the highest-traffic unit in this range — and the Asber Tech-Line Underbench Dishwasher GE500BDD for a European-spec alternative with built-in drain pump.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an underbench dishwasher and a pass-through dishwasher?
An underbench (or under-counter) dishwasher loads from the top — the rack slides in from above — and suits small to medium volume (up to ~40 racks/hr). A pass-through has a fixed entry and exit side, allowing faster throughput on a conveyor-type flow. For pass-through units, see our pass-through dishwashers range.
What size underbench dishwasher do I need?
For cafés and small bars: a 40×40 cm rack unit running 60–90-second cycles handles 30–40 racks/hr. For busier service: a 50×50 cm unit with a 90-second cycle hits 40–50 racks/hr. Check your peak covers per service and multiply by average racks per cover.
Do commercial underbench dishwashers need a licensed plumber for installation?
Yes — in Australia, connection to your hot/cold water supply and drain line must be done by a licensed plumber. Most councils also require compliance with AS/NZS 3500 for commercial dishwashers.
Do you deliver underbench dishwashers across Australia?
Yes — fast dispatch to all states. Underbench units are relatively compact (typically 60 cm wide × 85 cm tall) and ship standard freight. Delivery timeframes shown at checkout.
What is the warranty on commercial underbench dishwashers?
Manufacturer-backed and varies by brand and model — see our warranty information page for full terms.
