The Hobart AM16VL-BAS Base Electric Ventless Dishwasher combines high-performance warewashing with energy efficiency and flexible installation. Its innovative ventless heat-recovery system eliminates the need for a traditional exhaust hood by capturing and condensing steam, using that recovered heat to prewarm rinse water. This reduces energy costs and simplifies installation—ideal for kitchens where ventilation infrastructure is limited or costly.
Capable of cleaning up to 45 racks per hour while using just 0.67 gallons (2.5 L) of water per rack, the AM16VL-BAS delivers powerful, efficient results. Its rugged stainless-steel construction ensures long-lasting durability, while the ergonomic base height allows easy loading of sheet pans, bowls, and dishware. Equipped with a smart touchscreen control panel and built-in WiFi, the unit enables real-time monitoring of performance, energy use, and chemical consumption through Hobart’s SmartConnect app.
This ventless dishwasher is an ideal solution for kitchens without the infrastructure, space, or ventilation hood required for traditional systems. It’s also a smart choice for operations that prioritize energy efficiency, cost savings, and installation flexibility in their warewashing setup.
