Meanwhile commercial dishwashers take all of three minutes per cycle. I would recommend buying commercial versions of any appliance if you're able. Parts are replaceable, made to be serviced, not choked full of eco marketing, or incompetent regulations which add to more waste in the long run.

Commercial dishwasher are more like sanitizers. In a restaurant the dishwasher is the guy scraping the food off. Home dishwashers run for a long time because they are basically liquifying the leftover food, milk, and grime.

I have done that job. I was the dishwasher. After I cleaned off the gunk on the dishes with the commercial power sprayer, I loaded the trays into the commercial steam dish sanitizing machine.

That's not what I want for a home dishwasher.

You mean those things with a door on either size so the rack goes through from one side to the other? Those are high temperature sterilizers that take hand-washed dishes and blast them so you can put them on patrons' tables.

The guy at the end of the article clearly had one of those (it looks like he probably said this but the wsj reporter cherry picked the quote, as it quotes him saying he could only use it for glasses at parties, not for plates with food residue. Bet he didn't call it a dishwasher since he's a repair guy).
