Maidaid C55WSD Under Counter Dishwasher 500mm With Drain Pump & Softener

The Maidaid C55WSD is a 500mm under counter dishwasher designed for commercial kitchens where space is limited but throughput and hygiene standards cannot be compromised. It comes fitted with an integrated water softener and drain pump as standard — two features that are often specified separately on comparable machines but are included here as part of the base unit.

In day-to-day service, this type of machine suits operations running a steady flow of covers rather than high-volume continuous output. The 500mm basket size accommodates a practical plate load per cycle, making it reliable for cafés, small restaurants, hotel bars, and similar environments where a commercial standard of wash result is required without the footprint or power demand of a larger pass-through or hood machine. The triple filtration system helps protect the wash pump in environments where heavy soiling is common, which contributes to consistent wash quality over time.

From an operational standpoint, the C55WSD offers a number of practical advantages:

• Internal water softener reduces limescale build-up, important in hard water areas and for protecting the machine long-term
• Integrated drain pump gives more flexibility over installation position, removing dependency on a low-level gravity drain
• Nine wash cycles allow operators to match the programme to the load — lighter cycles for glassware, heavier programmes for crockery and cutlery
• EN17735 certified, which satisfies food hygiene compliance requirements for commercial foodservice
• LED digital display assists with cycle monitoring and fault identification during service

Installation requires a dedicated electrical supply — the machine is available in several power configurations, so it is worth confirming your site's supply before ordering. A water softener is built in, but an external water treatment or filtration stage may still be advisable in very hard water areas. The under counter format assumes a standard worktop height and adequate plumbing access at the rear or underside of the cabinet.

This machine is well suited to independent restaurants, hotel bars, cafés, and similar operations running moderate daily cover numbers. For sites with significantly higher throughput or back-to-back service periods, a larger basket size or pass-through format is likely to be a more appropriate fit.
