No looky for you!

The technology connections guy has a video where he puts a window in one to show how it works

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

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

You don't want to see it.

For the purposes of saving water, your dishes are repeatedly washed in dirty greasy brown water before rinsing. This does not look good, but in fact it is alright.

why do They capitalize seemingly random Words in each Sentence?

Reading though the comments I think something I said earlier today is going to be true. Technology Connections is going to be the XKCD of video explainers.

this Capitalization is Giving me a Fucking stroke

It's to keep people from seeing the reality of recycled dishwater being sprayed at the plates you eat off of.

Obligatory Technology Connections

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

I have a window in mine. It's great, I can see when something's not cleaning right and I fix it. Saves on redos.

Duh. If they let you see how it's done, then you'll know how to do it yourself. And once you know how to do it yourself, you won't need to buy one of their expensive machines every time you want to wash dishes.

Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?

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.

I saw a see through dishwasher at a department store when i was a kid. a demo thingy. it was magical

It’s because watching a bunch of food water swirl around for half an hour is gross.

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

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.

There are good reasons to hide what's going on inside. Some are simply not prepared: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIKJ6n-vSKt/

I remember a while back discovering GE made a clear door that could be used for diagnostic purposes on some dishwashers they had built. Never got to try one out, just thought it was cool they made em.

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

The dishes want some privacy in their bath.

I was once helping a previous landlord install a new dishwasher and during the first test cycle I opened it and he yelled “NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING”. Turns out he thought they filled up with water like a clothes washer. A window really would have helped him.

Okay but what if I mention Technology Connections

just splash dirty water all over your dishes for an hour, you'll get the idea

Why tho'? Apart from curiosity, what do you need to see? How will you utilize the information?

In an oven you can check on the food, and to a certain extent in the MW.

This is oddly rhythmical/musical.

Here you go.

(Skip ahead to about 8:30 once he gets it built)

I'm actually more pissed off that here in 2025 we haven't developed a dishwasher that has a blow dry cycle. Like, just have a small water tight door that flips open to reveal a fan that circulates warm air to dry the dishes.

But no, instead we have the dubious development of dishwashers that no longer have a cup for the prewash soap (which is still 100% necessary) because those stupid pods exist and on some models all the indicator lights have been relocated to the inside of the door where you can't see if the cycle is done unless you open the door which, if the dishwasher is still in the middle of washing, will disrupt the cycle.

My wife only said "Don't you dare". And now i'm confused. The words imply a dare, her tone sounded like a threat

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

my counter top dishwasher has a window, and i love watching that thing while I cook. It's hypnotic almost https://youtu.be/FpMVsGYbhcc?t=258

My countertop dishwasher has a window. Not much to see tbh, it's interesting to watch what it does the first time and then it gets old.

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.

I have to conjecture this didn't sell very well.

I have big window in mine
