Hobart Profi FXL Large Chamber Undercounter Dishwasher

The Profi FXL combines the extra-deep chamber of a large-chamber dishwasher with all the smart features of the Profi range. It takes 600 x 400mm baking trays, bakery crates and large containers that won't fit a standard undercounter machine. It suits bakeries, cafés, fast-food kitchens and snack bars that would otherwise scrub trays by hand.

The wash arms clean themselves at the end of every cycle, so there's less daily maintenance for staff. SENSO-ACTIVE monitors the quality of the wash water and uses only as much fresh rinse water as each load needs. The GENIUS-X² fine filter system includes a pre-wash function that reduces detergent use by up to 35%. That's useful when you're washing trays with baked-on residue day after day.

Staff run it from a colour touchscreen with single-button control, and the screen shows how much time is left on each cycle. The machine records its own operating data, which you can download by USB or follow through Hobart's SmartConnect app. The app shows machine status, usage, running costs, hygiene and service information. At 59 dB(A), it's quiet enough for open kitchens. An optional 2IN1 double rack system lets you wash two racks in one cycle when you're busy.

Profi FXL, Profi FX or Ecomax Plus F515L-D?

The Profi FXL has the same features as the Profi FX, with a deeper chamber (640mm compared with 603mm) that fits 600 x 400mm trays. The Ecomax Plus F515L-D takes the same trays with simpler controls and a shorter 60-second cycle. If trays and crates are a big part of your washing and you want lower running costs and less maintenance, choose the Profi FXL. If you don't need the deeper chamber, the Profi FX will do the job. If you want a straightforward tray washer, the F515L-D is the better fit.

Good to know before you buy

The machine needs a 15A power point, not a standard 10A outlet. It's deeper than a standard undercounter dishwasher, so measure your bench depth before ordering. With the door open, it needs 1088mm of clear space in front. If your water hardness is above 3°dH, Hobart recommends a water softener to protect the machine. If you connect it to cold water, the listed cycle times will run longer while the machine heats to temperature.
