Global demand for energy and water is on the rise, so we're constantly improving the performance of our appliances - to help our professional customers save money and reduce their environmental footprint.
More efficient, high-performance products help hotels, restaurants and other professional customers save money and reduce their environmental footprint.
Our green&clean rack-type dishwasher uses only 0.4 liters of water to clean and sanitize an entire rack of dishes. A built-in heat pump also transfers heat captured from the extracted air to heat up incoming cold water to significantly reduce energy use. As the solution uses less electricity, detergent and rinse aid than other equivalent models, the savings and environmental benefits are significant. The dishwasher can save customers €3,240 a year, based on washing after 500 meals during peak hours twice a day,** the lowest running costs in the industry.
Our ecostoreHP refrigerated counters have the highest climate class and energy efficiency ratings on the market. This energy efficiency makes a real difference on the energy bills of customers, who can save up to €480/year.*** The ecostoreHP is also the best-performing, refrigerated counter around, guaranteeing extra food safety and extra capacity.
Harnessing the power of water, our lagoon® Advanced Care washer-dryer can handle the most delicate of garment (even those made of silk or wool) without needing to turn to dry cleaning. Our latest wet-cleaning technology for delicate textiles protects the environment too, because it does not need to use perc, a widely used solvent in the dry-cleaning industry.
The pre-spotting agents used in the process work in combination with smart biodegradable detergents to thoroughly and quickly clean both water soluble and non-water soluble stains.

Electrolux is being proactive in the need to stop food waste in restaurants. In the beginning of 2017, we introduced the Zero Waste, All Taste concept revolving around a one-ingredient menu. Developed by chefs from Electrolux Professionals Chef Academy, we want to demonstrate how a gourmet menu can be created from basic, healthy, low-cost produce that is always present on store shelves.
