PostHeaderIcon I need to find a portable dishwasher that gets the water temperature to at least 160 degrees, any help?


I run a daycare center and we are required to have a dishwasher that reaches temperatures to at least 160 degrees, and it needs to be portable for the amount of space we have. Every website that I look at does not give me the information that I need, does anyone have any suggestions?

What you need is a dishwasher that has a sanitize cycle and you will have to be sure to use it for every load. Truthfully, I think it’s a bunch of ca ca because Dishwasher detergent has chlorine bleach in it for sanitizing purposes.

Just look for the sanitize feature and you should be fine. Double check with the sales person as to how high the temp goes to make sure it hits that 160F mark. Don’t even think about increasing your water temperature to that! You’d have a HUGE scalding risk for anyone washing their hands!

is it possible to hook a portable dishwasher to washer machine hook ups?

    Can you turn the temperature up on the hot water heater? Probably not since it’s a daycare.
    I don’t know what size you want but look for one that has a sanitary rinse cycle. These contain a built in heater which heats the water.
