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.

I haven't seen anything that says how hot it gets in the window . Just that it's "super insulated".
I'm not an engineer, I don't know how it works. I can touch the transparent window without getting burned, so it appears the window is insulated.
Maybe it works like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

None, which is his whole point. If the oven can manage to hold heat the dishwasher can aswel
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.

It's just an air gap in the window. It's double pane just like good windows for your house.

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.

The warm air thingie is pointless, it wouldn't dry anything quicker. Instead, they simply open the door and it airs it out.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]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.

I hang my dishes outside on the laundry rack

I have a light that is underneath projecting onto the floor that tells me the status of the washing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Front load washing machines let you see, but it's a tease because they lock the door.
