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.

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.

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.

This is oddly rhythmical/musical.
It’s because watching a bunch of food water swirl around for half an hour is gross.
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.

The dishes want some privacy in their bath.
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'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

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.
