    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.

      Not true. They are hiding the fact that there’s a group of tiny gnomes forced to work the dishes. No one wants to see tiny slaves in their kitchen. They are pathetic and do not fit the rest of the kitchen ambiance.

    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.

    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.

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

              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.

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

    I have a countertop dishwasher that has a giant window in the front. Wanna know what’s in there?

    Bubble bath shower for the dishes. It looks fun.

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

    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.

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

    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.
