Maidaid C35D Undercounter Glasswasher 350mm Basket with Drain Pump

The Maidaid C35D is a compact undercounter glasswasher built around a 350mm basket format. It sits neatly beneath a standard counter and is designed to handle the routine glasswashing demands of bars, cafés, hotel lounges, and smaller restaurant operations. The key practical distinction of the C35D over a standard model is the inclusion of a drain pump, which removes the dependency on a gravity-fall drain position and opens up installation options that would otherwise be ruled out by the layout of an existing bar or servery.

In service, the machine is designed to maintain steady throughput without becoming a bottleneck during a typical session. Nine selectable wash cycles allow operators to match the programme to the glassware in use — helpful where a site runs a combination of delicate stemware and heavier pub glasses across the same service. The triple filtration arrangement helps preserve wash quality over time by reducing the particulate load carried into each new cycle, which in turn limits mid-service intervention and supports consistent results without constant attention from staff.

From an operational standpoint, the main practical advantages are:

• Drain pump fitted as standard, allowing flexible installation without gravity drainage
• Triple filtration reduces particulate carry-over and helps maintain wash quality
• Nine wash cycles provide flexibility across different glassware types and soil levels
• Compact undercounter footprint is well suited to tight bar and servery configurations
• Double-skin construction supports heat retention between consecutive cycles

Installation is relatively straightforward, though it is worth confirming your water supply connection, available electrical supply, and drain arrangement before ordering. Local water hardness is also worth factoring in — a compatible water softener will protect the machine over time and help maintain wash results, particularly in hard water areas.

The C35D is a good fit for lower-to-mid volume operations where glasswashing is a consistent but not overwhelming demand. The 350mm basket format means throughput is modest by design — sites running very high glass volumes through long or heavy services, or larger venues with significant peak demand, may find a wider basket machine or a higher-cycle-rate unit a more practical choice.

If you are weighing up whether the C35D suits your service volumes or need to talk through the installation requirements for your site, the team is available to help before you make a decision.
