Commercial appliances are appliances designed for commercial, industrial, or institutional use, such as restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and office buildings. These appliances tend to be more durable and efficient than standard home appliances. For example, consider a restaurant kitchen's commercial equipment compared to what you find in your home. Your dishwasher accommodates enough for a household, and you might run it once per day. A commercial dishwasher handles several loads per day to accommodate services for many diners. It's more likely that the restaurant will require dishwasher repair services before you do, not to mention the commercial appliance maintenance needs.
