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.
Same. I had a tiny countertop one with a little window on it.
On the one hand I get that people with large dishwashers don't want to learn how many times the same goopy water is recycled to splash over the things they put in their mouths, but it's kinda mesmerizing, if I'm being honest.

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

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

The Sears appliance departments usually had at least one with a clear front for demonstration purposes.. But you know what happened to them
Thanks, Obama
My old dishwasher was malfunctioning and I bypassed the door switch to see what was going on inside. That was a big mistake, water in my face and on the ceiling lol.
Specifically in your face because one of the nozzles on the middle spray arm is aimed outwards to hit the latch on the detergent dispenser door.

The reason you dont is because it would probably disturb people to see their dishes slamming into each other.
Maybe they would then stop putting the fucking knives into the fucking dish washer.

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
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.
A surprising amount of people labor under the assumption that they lock shut somehow and the door can't be opened while the machine is running which is bad in case "something goes wrong."
A) No they don't, and you can easily open the door as you have observed, and
B) If the thing were having some manner of hypothetical catastrophic meltdown, why would you want to open the door as your first impulse anyway?
People also near universally have a serious misconception about how much water a modern dishwasher uses, or rather how much it doesn't. Everyone unanimously insists to me that they can hand-wash the same amount of dishes using less water than a dishwasher. No, you can't. They think it's running water constantly while it's in operation and don't understand that it fills with 1.5-2 gallons of water and recirculates that through each phase of the wash, usually resulting in only two or three fills.

The dishes want some privacy in their bath.
Okay but what if I mention Technology Connections
