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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
And it looks like sudsy vomit recirculating over your dishes. Ain’t nobody wanna see that.
Except Alec apparently
And everyone who clicked on the video.
Some of us more than twice!
Wanna go a fourth time?
Hun I’ve told you there’s a refractory period. Give me 5 minutes before we go again 👍
Fine.

This medicine tastes funny, mommy

Okay, but why then is there a window in my washing machine?
Usually only on front-loading models so you can see if there’s water in it before trying to open the door.
Which is what most of the world uses. And it’s also kinda nice to look at, which isn’t the case for dishwashers.

Because people like watching the spinny go spin.

Leave the door cracked after washing until it dries out.

Good advice for everyone.

I can see myself meeting that guy in a bar and both of us complaining about shit for hours and hours
I love the right kind of complainer friends
Now I want an ancient greek drama about dishwasher detergent.
Don’t kink shame.
Hold my beer.
