Here you go. It's gross!

Saw this post, instantly thought "Technology Connections", am not disappointed by the comments here.

The real reason is because dish washer water is freaking filthy until the last spray off.

You don't want to see that shit and eat off it afterwards.

I got a new dishwasher that has a "glass front door". I paid extra for the glass door for this reason - I want to see it. But guess what - hahaha - the glass door is simply placed over metal and you can't see shit.

The author's unique approach to capitalisation and spacing really makes this.

They don't want you to see the tongues licking the dishes

Obviously, the dishwasher manufacturers don't want us to know about the gnomes.
Gnomes with cleaning equipment.

And when your dishes don't get very clean, that's because the gnomes partied a bit too hard the night before and just aren't up to their normal standards.

Hmm. That's also a great name for a punk band. Dishwasher Gnomes.
Going to trademark that right now.

Watching food cook is appetizing and also a necessity to know when it is done. Watching the slurry of fat, food rests and soap is not.

My dishwasher has a window. It's a lot of water spraying everywhere.

Not in full swing but generally this shows you whats happening

The only thing I remember about Stewart Little, beyond him being a mouse, is that in the movie he gets trapped in the dishwasher and he is only saved because the family has a dishwasher with a glass front.

For some reason that scene has stuck in my head for 25 years. And I swear its because of their weird glass-front dishwasher that is just so out of place.

i bet it's mostly because it's fucking nasty in there.

Mainly brown water would be my guess, they an keep it to themselves.

You might be interested in MinuteFood's video on dishwashers. No clear viewing panel, but she stuck a GoPro in one. https://youtu.be/_haQLmfoWxI?si=6g3S7tix70bDdPhZ

I remember Codename: Kids Next Door had an entire episode about what goes on inside a dishwasher.

Ah, found it! https://knd.fandom.com/wiki/Operation:_R.E.C.R.U.I.T.

I'd assume it isn't see through because you load it up with dirty dishes that sit for days before you run it. No one wants to spend days staring at the crusty spoon meemaw dipped in the peanut butter and licked like an ice cream cone before the wash is finally run

We have a counter top dishwasher. It has a window. It’s not that interesting though.

Mine has one, it's cool

To show what a dishwasher does, they built one with a large window on the side for childrens television ("Sendung mit der Maus", German public TV Station ARD). Quite interesting and informative.

It might also have to do with the fact that a window is more expensive, but required for ovens and microwaves as food night burn otherwise, but usually there's no issue running a dishwasher longer than exactly required

Here's an idea you can have for free, manufacturers: air fryer window

"It's the best idea I ever had!"

I bet you it would be the most interesting to see out of all of these.
