  • Pros: The automatic chemical dosing is a brilliant feature at this price point.
  • Cons: Its gravity drain means you must ensure your waste outlet is below the machine.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Queen's Head, a popular historic pub in Salisbury, was struggling with keeping up with glassware demand during peak tourist season using an older, unreliable machine. They needed a compact, fast, and  dependable replacement that could handle the constant flow of customers.

"The Buffalo DW464 has been a breath of fresh air. It's fast, simple, and  the glasses have never been cleaner. The staff can load it and  forget it, letting them focus entirely on the customers at the bar instead of worrying about washing up."

Laura Higgins – Pub Manager

The pub saw an immediate improvement, effectively eliminating glassware backlogs and  reducing staff stress during the busiest shifts. This allowed them to serve customers faster, improving turnover on Friday and  Saturday nights.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the machine is on a level, stable surface using the adjustable feet. An uneven machine won't wash or drain properly.
  • Connect to a suitable water supply that meets the 1.6 bar minimum pressure requirement. Low pressure will affect performance.
  • This is a gravity drain model. Your waste water outlet MUST be lower than the machine's outlet pipe for it to drain correctly.
  • If you are in a medium or hard water area, you must install a water softener (sold separately) in line with the machine to prevent limescale build-up.

Keeping It Going

  • At the end of each day, remove, empty, and  clean the filter to prevent food debris from blocking the system.
  • Wipe down the inside of the machine and  the door seals daily with a soft cloth to maintain hygiene.
  • Regularly check the levels in your detergent and  rinse aid containers, and  top them up before they run empty.
  • Follow a regular descaling routine as recommended for your water hardness to keep the machine running efficiently.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Glasswasher

Not sure which commercial glasswasher is the right fit for your business? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the perfect match.

Measure Your Space

Check the dimensions (H x W x D) carefully. An under counter model like this is designed to fit in a specific gap, so measure twice to ensure it will slide in perfectly.

Check Your Drain

Is your waste pipe in the floor or low down on a wall? That's perfect for a 'Gravity Drain' machine. If it's higher up, you'll need a model with a built-in 'Drain Pump'.

Calculate Your Capacity

Think about your busiest hour. How many glasses do you use? A machine's 'racks per hour' and  basket size will tell you if it can keep up with your peak demand.

Consider Water Hardness

Hard water causes limescale, the number one enemy of water-using appliances. Check your area's water type; you'll likely need a water softener to protect your investment.

Confirm Your Power Supply

This model uses a standard 13A plug, found everywhere. More powerful machines might need 'hardwiring' by an electrician, so always check the power requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does a full wash cycle take?

A: The Buffalo DW464 has a fixed, rapid wash cycle of 120 seconds (2 minutes) from start to finish.

Q: How many pint glasses can it wash at once?

A: It can accommodate approximately 12 standard pint glasses in its 350x350mm basket per cycle.

Q: What does 'gravity drain' mean?

A: It means the machine relies on gravity to empty the water. For this to work, your waste water pipe must be positioned lower than the machine's water outlet.

Q: Do I really need a water softener?

A: If your business is in a medium or hard water area, then yes. A water softener is essential to prevent limescale build-up which can damage the machine and  affect cleaning results.

A: The machine has a maximum usable entry height of 240mm, making it suitable for most pint glasses, wine glasses, and  tumblers.

Q: Does it come with wash baskets?

A: Yes, it is supplied with two open-style 350x350mm glass baskets so you can start washing straight away.

Q: What kind of power supply does this bar glasswasher machine need?

A: It runs on a standard 230V mains supply and  is fitted with a 13 amp plug, so you can plug it into any normal socket.

Q: Are the chemical pumps complicated to set up?

A: No, the built-in dosing pumps are designed for simplicity. You simply place the feed tubes into your detergent and  rinse aid containers and  the machine does the rest automatically.

How Automatic Dosing Pumps Deliver a Perfect Finish

Ever wondered how professional kitchens get that perfect, streak-free shine on their glasses every single time? It's often down to a clever feature like the built-in chemical dosing pumps on this Buffalo glasswasher. Think of it like having a tiny, precise chemist inside your machine. Instead of staff manually pouring in detergent and  rinse aid, the machine automatically draws the exact amount needed for each wash from your connected chemical bottles.

This completely removes the guesswork. You'll never use too much chemical (which wastes money and  can leave a residue) or too little (which results in dirty glasses). It ensures every single wash cycle is as effective as the last, giving you consistently hygienic, sparkling results while also controlling your costs and  saving your staff valuable time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Local Pubs & Bars: Ideal for keeping pint and  wine glasses in constant rotation during the busiest evening and  weekend services.
  • Bustling Cafés: A perfect compact glasswasher for cafes that need to quickly turn around water glasses, latte glasses, and  teacups.
  • Small Restaurants: Fits neatly into tight kitchen or bar spaces, ensuring your front-of-house always has polished glassware ready for tables.
  • Wine & Cocktail Bars: Guarantees a pristine finish on delicate glassware, crucial for presenting premium drinks to discerning customers.
