Why this utensil washer earns its place
The Hobart FT118 is the high-spec single-chamber utensil washer in this group: a Hobart machine for pots and pans, cast iron cookware, baking tins, trays and racks, with drain and exhaust heat recovery stated in the manufacturer description.
It also includes an integrated softener, so it combines water treatment with heat recovery in one standard-width Hobart utensil washer. That makes FT118 the sensible comparison point where water hardness and energy recovery are both part of the buying decision.
The external size is 1984mm x 780mm x 945mm, with a 220kg gross weight. It is a stainless steel, silver-finished commercial machine, specified with a drain pump and 400V three-phase supply.
