    Dishwashers don’t fill up - they just have a well at the bottom (below the height of the door) and they spray water over the dishes to rinse of the dirt.

    Washing machines need to fill up and soak the clothes so that they get everywhere, not just the outer layer.

      I was thinking that was the case. So makes sense why one would have a window and one doesn’t, from “spilling water on the floor” sense.

      No they don’t, that’s why front loaders use so much less water

      • a top loader fills up the tub so the clothes are under water
      • my front loader

      — slaps the clothes into the puddle of water to clean

      — to soak, lightly sprays on top while tumbling back and forth so they all get wet without ever being under water
