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

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.
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.
just buy plastic cutlery and throw it away after each use
Hack the system
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.
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.
They're just in there licking all the food off the dishes after getting drunk on the "rinsing agent".
If you forget to fill their booze, they just piss all over your dishes, that's where the spots come from.
Immigrants taking my good old American Jack Russell Terrier's job. They took her jerb!
Even worse! They're all nude!
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.
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.
Front load washing machines let you see, but it's a tease because they lock the door.
It's to keep people from seeing the reality of recycled dishwater being sprayed at the plates you eat off of.

The technology connections guy has a video where he puts a window in one to show how it works
And it started leaking.
And it looks like sudsy vomit recirculating over your dishes. Ain't nobody wanna see that.

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.
Your kid spoke the truth
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

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.
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.
They actually do have that, warm air circulation. The real problem is though that the moisture has to go somewhere for the dishes to actually get dry. It's why a clothes dryer won't dry your clothes if the vent is clogged. Some of them have basically something akin to a still inside the door - a path for the warm and moist air to travel through that has a lot of right angle turns giving lots of opportunity for moisture to condense out of the air and then it can drain liquid water out the bottom. Some other models have automatic door openers, so once everything inside gets nice and hot and humid, the door pops open and it all just gets spit out into your kitchen.
Brother I'm not sure what kind of dishwasher you're working with but my LG dishwasher will peel paint.
Everything comes out crystal clear clean no matter how dirty it goes in, they specifically say do not pre wash anything and we don't, everything ends up 98% dry too. There might be the odd bit of pooled water in some crevace of a container or lid to something. I use the steam cycle with normal wash and extra dry and overnight dry. All buttons are on top and just remember their settings so you don't really need to do anything but slap the pod and shut the door.
Dishwashers like everything run the price and features gambit. For performance like this we spent around $800. Worth every penny.
Yeah, the bargain bin whirlpool my apartment grudgingly provides does not perform the same. Convincing them to shell out $800 or even to let me do so would be like convincing DOGE to fund universal healthcare—impossible.
Damn that's rough. Appliances in general are pretty shit lately. On the high end theres only like Bosch LG and Samsung. With the 2 Korean ones have all kinds of scandals and recalls. I've sworn off Samsung completely. But even within all brands it's the high end stuff works as advertised and mid and low range stuff kinda sucks or works enough to not be returned.
The one we have is a Bosch and IMO it's the worst. If I had been in charge of replacing our old one I would have chosen something way better.
It's indicator for the cycle being done? A tiny beep that goes off like every 5 minutes or so for maybe an hour. Otherwise, the first person to open the door gets to see the clean dishes indicator light. After that it's anyone's guess. And the wash cycle is extremely quiet (this is actually a nice feature if it weren't for the fact that it's impossible to tell if it's in the middle of a cycle or fully done other than the afore mentioned faint intermittent beep).
Edit: oh, and all of the dishes are basically soaked when you open the thing. Especially if it's been done for a while and everything has cooled down. Happen to have a light bowl in the top shelf that got flipped during the wash cycle? Now you have a bowl of dishwater that will dump out onto everything below it unless your real careful taking it out. Every glass has a tiny bowl of water in the divit in their bottom. And all the silverware is covered in water droplets that will spray everywhere as you attempt to put them away.
The warm air thingie is pointless, it wouldn't dry anything quicker. Instead, they simply open the door and it airs it out.
I hang my dishes outside on the laundry rack
