Expert Review and  Insights

The Buffalo D50 is a cracking bit of kit. It’s a no-nonsense machine that prioritises what really matters in a busy setting: speed, reliability, and  simplicity. The build quality is solid, and  the inclusion of both a drain and  chemical pumps as standard at this price point offers fantastic value and  makes it incredibly versatile for different kitchen layouts.

Charlotte Rayner – Commercial Cleaning Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The built-in drain pump is a lifesaver for tricky kitchen layouts.
  • Cons: Needs a water softener in hard water areas for best performance.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The King's Arms, a bustling gastropub in York, found their kitchen flow was constantly hampered by an old, slow dishwasher, creating significant backlogs during peak tourist season. They upgraded to the Buffalo D50 to increase their washing capacity and  speed.

"Our old machine was a constant bottleneck. The Buffalo D50 has completely changed the flow of our kitchen; we're no longer waiting on clean plates during a busy service. It just works, every single time."

David Miller – Head Chef

The reliable 120-second cycle has effectively cut their wash-up time in half, allowing them to serve an estimated 20 extra covers on a typical Saturday night.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Confirm you have the correct hardwired power supply (13/30A single-phase or 16A 3-phase) ready for the electrician.
  • If you're in a medium or hard water area, install a compatible water softener (like the Q565) upstream of the machine.
  • The supplied hoses make water and  drain connections straightforward for a qualified plumber to complete.
  • Before the first wash, be sure to prime the internal detergent and  rinse aid pumps as per the user manual.

Keeping It Going

  • At the end of every service, remove and  clean the internal filters, wash arms, and  rinse arms.
  • Regularly wipe down the stainless steel exterior and  the inner door seals with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Keep an eye on the chemical levels and  top up your detergent and  rinse aid containers when they run low.
  • For long-term reliability, book a professional service once a year to keep it in peak condition.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Dishwasher

Not sure which dishwasher is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider to make sure you get it right first time.

Size & Capacity

Measure your available undercounter space first! This unit's 570x600mm footprint and  500mm basket are a standard size that's perfect for most kitchens.

Drainage Type

Is your waste drain on the floor? If it's in the wall or higher than the machine's base, a model with a built-in drain pump like this one is absolutely essential.

Power Supply

Check what your kitchen is wired for. This energy efficient commercial dishwasher offers flexible installation for both single-phase and  3-phase hardwired connections.

Cycle Speed

How quickly do you need to turn around dishes? A 120-second cycle is ideal for high-volume sites that can't afford to wait for clean plates.

Water Hardness

Hard water is the enemy of dishwashers, causing limescale build-up. Check your local water quality and  plan for a water softener if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size is the wash basket?

A: This machine uses a standard, industry-common 500x500mm basket, making it easy to find replacements or extras.

Q: How long does a full wash cycle take?

A: The complete wash and  rinse cycle is a rapid 120 seconds, designed for maximum throughput in busy environments.

Q: Does this machine heat its own water?

A: Yes, it has its own wash tank and  a thermostatically controlled boiler to heat the rinse water to hygiene-safe temperatures.

Q: Do I need to buy a separate drain pump?

A: No, this model comes with a drain pump already built-in, which simplifies installation and  gives you more placement options.

Q: Are the chemical pumps included?

A: Yes, both the detergent and  rinse aid pumps are integrated into the machine and  will automatically dose the correct amount of chemical in each cycle.

Q: What is the maximum height of a plate I can wash?

A: The machine has a usable entry height that can accommodate plates with a maximum diameter or height of 335mm.

Q: Can I just plug this into a normal wall socket?

A: No, this is a powerful commercial unit and  requires hardwiring by a qualified electrician to either a 13/30 Amp single-phase or a 16 Amp 3-phase supply.

Q: What is a break tank and  why is it important?

A: A break tank is an internal water reservoir that creates an 'air gap' to prevent any contaminated wash water from flowing back into the clean mains water supply. It's a legal requirement for most commercial installations in the UK.

Q: How noisy is it when it's running?

A: The double-skinned door provides excellent insulation, which significantly reduces operational noise compared to more basic, single-skinned models, making for a more pleasant kitchen environment.

What's the Big Deal About a Drain Pump?

Ever been told your new bit of kit can only be installed in one specific spot? That's often because it relies on gravity to get rid of waste water—the drainpipe has to be lower than the machine's outlet. A built-in drain pump, like the one in this Buffalo dishwasher, completely removes that problem. It actively pumps the waste water out and  away, even uphill if needed. Think of it like having a tiny, powerful water pump built right in, giving you total freedom to place your dishwasher exactly where it makes the most sense for your kitchen's workflow, not where the plumbing dictates.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurants: Keep up with demanding dinner services by turning around clean plates and  cutlery in just two minutes.
  • Village Pubs & Bars: Effortlessly handle everything from pint glasses to Sunday roast plates with one reliable undercounter dishwasher for restaurants.
  • Care Homes & Schools: Guarantee hygienic results with thermostatically controlled temperatures, which is essential for protecting vulnerable individuals.
  • Local Cafés & Bistros: Fits neatly under the counter, saving space while providing serious washing power for a small, busy team.
