Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right commercial dishwasher for my business?

Start with your busiest service, the items you wash and the space available in your kitchen. The right machine should help your team keep up comfortably while fitting your budget and existing setup.

At Worldwide CDM, we take the time to understand your requirements before recommending a machine. With over 30 years’ industry experience in equipment sales and service, we explain your options clearly so you can make a confident decision.

What type of dishwasher do I need: underbench, pass-through or conveyor?

An underbench dishwasher can suit venues with limited space and manageable washing volumes. A pass-through dishwasher allows racks to move between adjoining benches, making it a practical option for busier kitchens. Conveyor dishwashers suit operations that need to process large volumes of dishes continuously.

We’ll help you compare the options against your peak demand, available space and how your staff work.

Will the dishwasher keep up during our busiest service?

We’ll help you assess this before you purchase. Your busiest hour, the number of dishes each customer generates and the time needed to load and unload racks all affect the capacity you need.

Advertised racks-per-hour figures are a useful guide, but your kitchen’s workflow matters too. Tell us where dishes currently build up, and we’ll help you choose a machine suited to the demands of your service.

Is installation included when I purchase a dishwasher?

Yes. Free installation is included when you purchase a machine from Worldwide CDM.

We’ll discuss your kitchen setup and installation requirements before you proceed, so you understand what’s involved. You’ll have an experienced team to guide you through choosing your equipment and getting it installed.

What warranty comes with my dishwasher?

Your machine comes with a 24-month parts and labour warranty.

We want you to feel supported beyond the purchase. We’ll explain the warranty terms and how to arrange assistance, so you know who to contact if something goes wrong.

How much does a commercial dishwasher cost?

Pricing depends on the machine type, capacity and features you need. We supply Lamber and Eswood commercial dishwashers and can recommend suitable options based on your requirements and budget.

Your quote will clearly explain the recommended machine, pricing and inclusions, including free installation and a 24-month parts and labour warranty. Our goal is to help you invest confidently in equipment that suits your business.

Will the machine fit my existing space and connections?

We’ll help you check compatibility before you order. This includes the machine’s dimensions, door or hood clearance, power supply, water connections and drainage.

For pass-through and conveyor dishwashers, the surrounding bench layout also matters. Send us photos and measurements of your wash area, along with your current machine’s model details if available, and we’ll guide you through the next steps.

Should I choose a Lamber or Eswood dishwasher?

The best choice depends on your kitchen’s requirements and the specific models being compared. Capacity, available space, power requirements, features and budget all play a part.

Worldwide CDM sells and services equipment, so our advice considers everyday use as well as the purchase. We’ll explain the differences between suitable Lamber and Eswood models in plain language and help you decide.

What should I consider beyond the purchase price?

Think about the ongoing cost of water, electricity, detergent, rinse aid and maintenance, as well as the time your team spends washing dishes.

A machine that suits your workload and is easy to operate and clean can make a meaningful difference to daily service. We’ll help you understand the relevant specifications without relying on blanket promises about savings.

Can I wash glasses in a commercial dishwasher?

Some commercial dishwashers can wash suitable glassware, but the right choice depends on the machine, racks and types of glasses you use.

If your bar produces a steady volume of glassware, a dedicated glasswasher may suit your workflow better. Tell us what you need to wash, and we’ll help you decide whether one machine is suitable or whether separate dishwashing and glasswashing equipment makes more sense.

What happens if my dishwasher breaks down after purchase?

Contact Worldwide CDM, and we’ll help you work through the next steps. We provide equipment sales and service, giving you a team to turn to for support after installation.

Your machine includes a 24-month parts and labour warranty. If an issue arises, we’ll discuss the symptoms, assess the appropriate next step and explain how the warranty applies.

Can you help if my current dishwasher has failed and I need a replacement urgently?

Yes. Contact us with your location, current machine details and any photos of the installation area. We understand how disruptive it is when clean dishes stop moving through the kitchen.

We’ll check suitable replacement options, current availability and installation timing, then explain what can be arranged so you can plan your next step.

Should I repair my existing dishwasher or replace it?

That depends on its condition, repair needs and whether it still meets your kitchen’s demands. Repeated breakdowns, growing washing volumes or an unsuitable layout may make replacement worth considering.

Because Worldwide CDM handles both sales and repairs, we can help you weigh up the options. You’ll receive practical advice based on your situation, including whether a repair may still make sense.

What information do you need to recommend a machine and provide a quote?

Tell us your venue type, location, approximate busiest-service volume and what you need to wash. Photos of your wash area, available measurements and your current machine’s model number are also helpful.

You don’t need to have every technical detail ready. Share what you know, and we’ll guide you through the rest.
