[body] Are there any other dishwasher lease companies worth checking out. Locations in Ct
“I know that leasing a dishwasher looks appealing from an upfront cost standpoint. Keep in mind that the machines used by the lease companies are a vehicle for them to sell chemicals. The machines that they use are terribly inefficient when it comes to water, power, and chemical usage. It would be worth it to at least explore the option of buying a unit outright.”

“I did a quick google search "CT restaurant dishwasher rental" there are multiple local people offering the same service. I would start there.”

“I found a small business near me that offers the same service, leasing and chemicals. Much better situation over all as I used Ecolab previously. Hopefully someone in your area can help locate”
