    My washer and dryer have tinted windows. I have no idea why. I’m guessing their chief designer drives a heavily modded Scion though.

    Hell yeah … just like washing machines … I’d love to be able to see what’s going on side a dish washer … even put LED lights on inside it and do a light show … or control the lighting so that you can turn it on and off if you want

    My new washing machine has a window on the top and it’s pretty cool watching how fast things whip around during the spin cycle. Definitely have a greater appreciation for the amount of force those things put out.

      Back before they changed the latch design, for safety, we would use a penny to trigger the lid sensor(just a simple pressure sensor) and watch it spin.

    They don’t want you to know about the dish gnomes forced to work in tight spaces under terrible conditions.

      You don’t replace your dish gnome cartridge every 3 years? I was told it was a feature. They get tired.

        First, you have to remove the dead gnomes. Straight to the compost heap, not in the regular garbage! Cause nature and stuff …

          Your gnomes shouldn’t be dead, they’re technically immortal and a stint in the dishwasher is their ticket out of the salt mines. If you’ve got dead gnomes the last thing you want is to keep their bodies on the premises. If you leave them in the cartridge they can be revived when you exchange it for the new cartridge. If you put them in the ground they will find… other ways back to their realm, and they will remember what you did.

          And please remember to buy gnomane dishwashing tablets, I cannot stress enough how much they should not be dead.

          Also don’t ask me why the gnome salt mine slavery exists, I didn’t create it, I just benefit from it.

            I’ll guess then that they’ll prefer the salt mines above me. Those little bastards, playing for dead! I will shave all their beards!

        Oh you absolutely need to replace the gnome cartridge, my dad would always freak out if we didn’t. That’s like day 1 of dishwasher school.

    The Sears appliance departments usually had at least one with a clear front for demonstration purposes… But you know what happened to them

      It’s because they are usually insulated and there is no point putting a clear surface over insulation.

              I haven’t seen anything that says how hot it gets in the window . Just that it’s “super insulated”.

              Insulation on the dishwasher is mostly for noise and stopping moisture or heat from damaging surrounding cabinets.

              The dishwasher is using new water or heating water. It is not designed to keep the same water hot for an hour plus.

              The whole back of the dishwasher is a tiny piece of plastic. Not insulated at all. Some fancy ones now put a little insulation on back.

              But the idea isn’t to keep heat trapped to wash dishes, but to keep heat from being released and damaging things.

      Same. I had a tiny countertop one with a little window on it.

      On the one hand I get that people with large dishwashers don’t want to learn how many times the same goopy water is recycled to splash over the things they put in their mouths, but it’s kinda mesmerizing, if I’m being honest.

      Like those cows with the portal in their side that they bring around to elementary schools to show kids how chambered stomachs work! (Just now realizing this might not be a universal experience and may have had to do with my elementary school’s proximity to UC Davis (Agriculturally focused college).

    The reason you dont is because it would probably disturb people to see their dishes slamming into each other.
