The Buffalo undercounter dishwasher is a compact, pass-through style machine built for professional kitchens where space is limited but reliable dishwashing throughput is still a daily requirement. It accepts standard 500mm baskets and comes supplied with two baskets and a cutlery holder, giving immediate capacity for plates, bowls, glasses, and most everyday service items. Integrated detergent and rinse aid dosing pumps handle chemical management automatically, removing the need for operator intervention on each cycle.

In a working kitchen environment, this machine performs consistently through moderate service periods. The 120-second cycle keeps throughput moving at a pace that suits cafés, small restaurants, pub kitchens, and staff canteens running a steady volume of covers. The controls are deliberately straightforward — load, start — which means front-of-house staff can operate it without training, and the risk of errors during a busy service is low. Stainless steel construction stands up to the daily demands of a commercial environment and cleans down quickly at end of service.

Practical advantages worth noting:

  • Built-in drain pump allows flexible positioning without relying on gravity drainage
  • Integrated dosing pumps reduce operator involvement and limit chemical waste
  • 500mm basket capacity handles a wide range of standard crockery and glassware
  • Supplied with two baskets and a cutlery holder ready for immediate use
  • Simple controls reduce the risk of operator error during busy periods

On the installation side, the machine requires a mains water supply, a drainage point, and an appropriate electrical connection. The built-in drain pump removes the requirement to position the unit directly above a floor drain, which gives useful flexibility in tighter kitchen layouts. One consideration that should not be overlooked: in medium or hard water areas, an external water softener is required before installation. Running the machine without one in hard water conditions will cause limescale accumulation that affects both wash performance and the working life of the unit.

This dishwasher is well suited to smaller commercial operations and secondary wash stations within larger kitchens. It is not designed for high-volume sites turning over large numbers of covers in rapid succession — those environments will benefit from a higher-capacity or higher-output machine. If your operation regularly handles large pots, trays, or full-size gastronorm containers, it is worth discussing your wash requirements before committing to this size of machine.

If you have questions about whether this machine is the right fit for your service volume, or you need guidance on water treatment requirements for your area, the team is glad to help you work through it before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Is this dishwasher suitable for a busy restaurant running high covers?

This machine is well suited to moderate-volume operations such as cafés, small restaurants, and staff canteens. For high-volume sites turning over a large number of covers in rapid succession, a higher-output undercounter or rack conveyor machine would be a more appropriate fit — it is worth speaking to the team about your expected throughput before deciding.

Do I need a water softener installed before using this machine?

In medium or hard water areas, yes — an external water softener is required. Operating without one in hard water conditions leads to limescale build-up that affects wash performance and shortens the working life of the machine. If you are unsure about water hardness in your area, we can help you check before installation.

What does the built-in drain pump mean for installation?

The drain pump means the machine does not need to be positioned directly above or adjacent to a floor drain, which gives more flexibility when planning kitchen layout. You will still need a mains water supply and an appropriate electrical connection, so it is worth confirming those are accessible at your intended location before installation.
