Dammit, I had shit to do and instead watched a half an hour video about dishwashers.

Worth.

[–] Snoopey 33 points 4 months ago

There are, in fact, several more hours worth of dishwasher content from the same channel. Doubly worth it

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Wash it down with several hours worth of content on heat pumps. It's worth it.

Date idea: a nice dinner, followed by the feature-length Technology Connections Dishwasher Anthology

If this is your idea of a good date... If you're a gay man, I'll marry you.

[–] Dabundis 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I said it as a joke, but honestly...cooking something together with a special someone then sharing a bottle of wine that guy absolutely roasts the very concept of detergent pods sounds like a great night

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.

Dishwasher is regularly recirculating dirty, greasy water before rinsing. In order to save water, it just cycles the water with all the dirt through the dishes again, many times over. And only then rinses with a pure one.

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

I always automatically assume that a space before a comma means it's a bot.

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.

Then why do washing machines for clothes have windows?

My tabletop dishwasher has a window. It looks fun in there. Splishy splashy.

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thats what big dishwasher wants you to think, they put the fake window to hide the dishwashing gnomes from the public eye. Wake up sheeple

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

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.

[–] Luminocta 21 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I'm sorry to say, but that was a washing machine...

You have unblocked a great memory of my youth, however. Thanks!

The dishwasher continues to remain a mystery then 🤔

I think it just might be because the seal around the glass would inevitably fail from constant thermal expansion during normal use, thus leaking all over the damn place.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Ovens have glass. And in my experience get much hotter than dishwashers.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago

Dishwashers need to be water-tight, ovens don't...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Ovens don't have a bunch of high pressure water sprayers in them. They just leak hot air at worst.

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

It's useful to see the others, not sure how useful it would be to see inside a dishwasher. Could be fun though. Also probably is cheaper not to have it and could be better insulation.

Same reason fridges probably don't have windows even though that'd actually be handy. I once saw someone post about how their really expensive fridge actually has a window, but their mom put a curtain in front of it because seeing inside the fridge looked "messy". What a travesty

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (7 children)

Washing mashines have a window though. Here

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (8 children)

If you open a front-load washer in the middle of its wash cycle, it would dump 5–10 gallons (editors note: however much that is) of dirty, soapy water all over the floor. That's bad - so the manufacturer designs a window so that you can see that the machine is empty of water before opening the door.

I guess it's for that reason. Dishwashers could have similar problems but they might have a lot less water in them at one time and with the type of doors they have you might not dump as much on the floor or something.

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

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

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (6 children)

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
