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
who the fuck lets dirty dishes sit in there for days lol
I have twelve dinner plates. Often I'll use two a day (my partner doesn't share my allergies or diet and mostly uses bowls)
We have many hot drink mugs
We have twelve sets of cutlery
The dishwasher runs when we run out of clean [plates|cups|cutlery] that is weekly or less often
Modern dishwashers can easily clean tons of crust. That's why it takes them so long. As long as bigger chunks are gone and you clean the trap you are fine.
People who don't make a lot of dirty dishes? Running a dishwasher that is not full wastes water and energy. When I was single I would only run the dishwasher twice a week or so.
