Commercial Pot / Utensil Washers
A commercial pot washer takes the hardest job in the kitchen off your team’s hands, powering through baked-on pots, pans, trays and utensils that a standard dishwasher cannot handle. Rental+ hires robust commercial pot washers on inclusive equipment-as-a-service plans, so you get dependable heavy-duty washing with servicing, parts and call-outs built in and no upfront capex. Built to withstand the demands of care homes, busy restaurants and other foodservice environments, these heavy-duty machines deliver reliable performance day after day. If you’re comparing commercial washing equipment, our guide on glasswasher vs dishwasher also explains where pot washers fit into a commercial kitchen and when each machine should be used.
Why rent a commercial pot washer?
A commercial pot washer is one of the hardest-working machines in any busy kitchen, and downtime means dirty utensils piling up fast. Renting from Rental+ keeps that risk off your plate. Every plan includes servicing, parts, call-outs and Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM) at no extra cost, backed by our nationwide network of engineers. If a machine cannot be fixed on site, our fix-or-replace guarantee means it is replaced, so your utensil washer keeps running through service after service.
There is no large upfront outlay. Instead of buying outright, you spread the cost across a multi-year plan paid by weekly direct debit. You can choose new or reconditioned “Used Approved” equipment from leading brands such as Meiko and Classeq, each fully quality-checked and maintained to the same standard.

Do I own the pot washer at the end of the rental agreement?
No. The pot washer remains our property at the end of the rental term. As your contract approaches its end date, our retentions manager will contact you to discuss extending the agreement or arranging collection.
How quickly can you deliver a pot washer?
If the pot washer is in stock, delivery is usually around 3 working days. Ex-rental units typically take around 2 weeks to deliver.
What happens if my pot washer breaks down?
If your pot washer develops a fault, our service team will respond within an 8-hour SLA to arrange an engineer visit. This helps minimise downtime and keeps your kitchen running smoothly.
Do you provide pot washer installation?
Pot washer installation is not included as standard. However, we can arrange installation for an additional charge if required.
How much space does a pot washer need?
Pot washers can start at around 60cm wide and 70cm deep, depending on the model and capacity. You’ll also need sufficient clearance for loading and unloading, along with access to water, drainage and electrical connections. If space is limited, our team can recommend a model that best suits your kitchen.
What electrical supply does a commercial pot washer require?
Electrical requirements vary depending on the model. Some commercial pot washers operate on a single-phase supply, while higher-capacity models may require a three-phase connection. We can help you choose a machine that’s compatible with your site’s electrical supply.
What’s the difference between a pot washer and a dishwasher?
A pot washer is designed to clean large cookware such as pots, pans, trays and utensils that are too bulky or heavily soiled for a standard dishwasher. Dishwashers are typically used for plates, glasses and cutlery, while pot washers are built to handle larger items and tougher cleaning demands in commercial kitchens.
