Why do washing machines have glass doors?

Its not as if we want to watch a pile of dirty laundry go round and round!! So why the glass front?Why do washing machines have glass doors?
So you can make sure you haven't stuffed your kitty in with the clothes.Why do washing machines have glass doors?
Maybe some people don't hear it stop so if they see the laundry has stopped moving it is done. Or it's easier to see if you have something in there in case you forget.
My machine's door isn't visible as it's integrated, but you have a point there. I suppose the glass door is there in case the machine goes wrong and you can check if it's filling/emptying ok without having to open the door and getting water everywhere.
i believe the trend started in laundromats and the glass doors are to see which one you recognize as your laundry.
I had a washer that didn't have a glass door and the wife moaned that she couldn't see if the washing was getting clean or feel if the water was getting warm and she said with a glass door youcan check that the machine is empty and when you open the door you don't get a flood
incase you see something that shouldn't be in there e.g. car keys, money etc
It IS for monkeys like me who like to navel gaze, or see how far along my laundry is, or watching with dread as the water goes pink from tha idden red sock in my hubby's white Tshirt load....
It's more of a luxury feature. Same thing with ovens. My cheap-*** oven doesn't have a window, but what can you really see that opening the door a crack wouldn't show you, besides a really badly-weirdly-lit view of your food through a black screen which you have to bend over to get a view through?





It's just handy to see when it's stopped if it's far away, I suppose, but if you're in a laundramat, it's something to look at besides the soap operas on the TV bolted to the wall.
When I can't find my cat it's the first place I look.





So that I can see if those two soap tablets are stuck yet again to the front rim of the inside of the machine, and not cleaning my washing.
yep, that's it, just for really really bored people to have something to do lol
Its so you can see that 拢20 note that you forgot to take out of the pocket!!
So that people like me can wash the washing going round and round and round and............................I find it very relaxing and therapeutic although my husband says I'm just mad and have OCD.
So u can watch to see what is going on
maybe YOU don't like to watch. i could sit there for hours with a cup of coffee and watch the socks go round and round and round and round.......
because some people have no life
Incase you leave the door open and when your not looking the cat jumps in then you close the door you might rescue that pussy before you drown her
So you can watch your wash get clean!





It is kinda hypnotic - I could think of worse things to watch (look at the cable guide any day of the week)





So okay, I need to get a life!
So you can see your clothes turning pink!
So we can see if the skid marks came out! lol
maybe you dont like watching it but i could watch it all day :) .....ok im going to go get a life now
because liek..u neeed to look inside to see if its done or not. how lese would u know?
For people who can't afford TV.
I love to watch the dirty water rinse out. It makes me feel like I am accomplishing something... Also, my husbands work clothes are so dirty that if the rinse water is dirty I will wash again.
