    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

    Table top dishwashers usually have a window. My kid considered it a major disadvantage when we got a real dishwasher that the window was missing.

      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.

    Knowing how “fun” it is to make a truly watertight window, even with low pressure, matching both cold and hot and detergent and whatever’s flying in there, I’m glad there isn’t a glass pane to view into the dishwasher.

    Also, I’m usually doing things that are not reliant on seeing what’s happening in a dishwasher when it is running, so the cost effectiveness would not be great there.

      How is it different from a window in a washing machines, because those are quite common.

        I’m not sure… as my current washing machine don’t have one. It’s a top-loader. I do see washing machines with a round door, though. Maybe the difference is that the whole door is the glass part, so there’s no seal to make with the rest of the “door” part, but that’s not satisfying.

        I’d be curious to ear from an expert about this.

        There’s also just no point. What exactly would one hope to accomplish in having a window in their dishwasher? With a microwave, you can monitor food and make sure it’s not boiling over, smoking, exploding, etc. With an oven, you can monitor goods to see if they’re done or not. But a dishwasher? Unlike a cooking device, there’s no harm in leaving dishes in the dishwasher too long. You don’t need to pull them out at just the exact moment they’re fully clean.

        Unless you’re one of those weirdos that cooks things in their dishwasher, I can’t see any reason why you would need a window in one.

            To see the mold growing in the side loader machine’s silicon gasket that never dries out of course!

            Also because that’s what the house came with and it didn’t break yet.

            I kill it with vinegar filled wash cycles now and then but it’s annoying and recurrent. Top loader with dumb knobs and a metal lid next if they die before me.

              my mom’ll never get a side-loaded washer for that exact reason. Clothes also may get a musty smell even when cleaned in one. We’ve got sensitive noses so it’d be unbearable for us

              You can get anti fungal liquid that you add to one of the secondary dispensers which should keep that at bay while also keeping mould off your clothes, and also you can leave the door open between cycles to dry it out. I’ve been told it’s important to leave the door open when it’s not in use.

                Good advice for everyone.

                I leave the door open yep, clean the drain trap too.

                I should try anti fungal instead, we’ll see if it does better than vinegar. The cheap bulk white vinegar does work, I just have to do that twice a month and remember to wipe down the gasket frequently.

              Which is what most of the world uses. And it’s also kinda nice to look at, which isn’t the case for dishwashers.

                They’re attractive, but they also have a much bigger problem with gaskets getting moldy, and I personally think getting clothes in and out of a top-loading is more convenient unless they’re stacked.

      And my Amazon order for pre-wash detergent tells me it was already 4 years ago, OMG. It took 4 years to go through that bottle, we’re a family of 4.

    Technology connections put a window in one, it’s just nasty water swirling around and a lot of people would be grossed out by that so they hide it lol

      I also don’t want to be looking at the dirty dishes throughout the week as I’m waiting for the machine to be full enough to run.

    Since noise reduction is an important part of a dishwasher, it wouldn’t make sense to overengineer a viewing window.
