Hobart Ecomax G404W Undercounter Glasswasher

The Hobart Ecomax G404W is a compact undercounter glasswasher designed for bar and hospitality environments where counter space is limited but reliable glass throughput is still essential. It accepts a 390x390mm basket and operates on a single-phase hardwired supply, making it a practical option for venues that cannot accommodate three-phase power. Electronic controls with digital temperature display keep operation straightforward for bar staff without specialist training.

In service, the G404W is capable of processing up to 60 racks per hour, which comfortably supports a busy bar during a sustained service period — think a mid-sized pub, hotel bar, or restaurant bar station turning glasses at a steady pace. The built-in drain pump handles waste water removal actively rather than relying on gravity, which gives more flexibility when positioning the machine under an existing counter where a gravity drain outlet may not be conveniently located.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages this machine offers include:

• Consistent wash and rinse temperatures displayed digitally, reducing the risk of glasses coming out poorly sanitised
• Compact footprint that fits under most standard bar counters without structural alteration
• Active drain pump allowing installation where gravity drainage isn't available
• Simple electronic controls that require minimal staff training
• Stainless steel construction throughout for durability and ease of cleaning

Installation requires a hardwired single-phase 25A supply, so an appropriately rated circuit and isolation switch will need to be in place before the machine is connected. Water supply and waste connections are also required. At 45kg the unit is manageable for two people during installation, though access under the counter should be checked before delivery. The machine is supplied as machine only — inlet hoses, chemical dosing, and any supporting stand or cabinet are separate considerations.

The G404W is best suited to smaller venues — independent bars, cafe bars, hotel bar areas, and similar sites — where glass volume is steady rather than extremely high. For operations running high-volume evening service or catering for events with rapid turnaround demands, a higher-capacity model with a larger basket or faster cycle times may be worth considering alongside this one.

If you are unsure whether this machine matches your service volume or want to talk through the installation requirements for your specific site, the team is happy to help you think it through before you commit.
