Nelson reports lockdown surge in sales of Speedwash dishwashers Nelson Dish & Glasswashing has reported a significant, albeit somewhat surprising, surge in sales of its entry level Speedwash dishwashers throughout the pandemic. “We believe that a lot of the establishments that managed to keep cooking during the worst times were looking for an affordable, simple to use, dishwasher solution,” explains managing director, John Nelson. “Many of these were managing to keep functioning with minimal staff numbers so, although hygiene was critical and reliability and performance were important, so was simplicity of design - something that anybody could use without the need for special instructions or training. As the forerunner to our Advantage range, Speedwash can still claim a number of energy and water saving features and it’s certainly incredibly dependable – a real workhorse of a machine. In fact, we’ve got customers still operating Speedwash machines they bought 15 years ago!” Nelson’s Speedwash range offers an unusually versatile selection of sizes that helps end users maximise available space. As well as 400mm and 500mm basket size undercounter options, there are also two ‘in-between’ models – a 350mm and 450mm. The pass through is a standard 500mm basket size (call 0800 592 833 or visit www.nelsonwashonline.co.uk).
