Why don't they make slim dishwashers?

I have what I call a slim oven so only handles one cookie tray or 9x13 pan.

But I have tons of tupperwear, glasses, etc. I don't really use a ton of plates, more glasses or re-heat lunches in tupperwear. I would need for a slim dishwasher to only need to wash all tupperwear or glasses.
It is a huge waste for me to have a half empty dishwasher with the lack of dishes but full load of tupperwear. The upper rack has the ability to hold down cups or tupperwear, not the bottom rack.

Why don't they make a slim dish washer? I hardly ever need a full size one. When my girl friends over, they don't need many plates, more glasses are needed.
 
This has exactly zero to do with politics at all.
 
Quite simply because they don't sell as well. I have seen those dishwashers installed in some bachelor apartments, but that's about it. I've never known anyone that owns one. They opt to buy the full size, cause even if you fill it halfway you can use a light or half load setting.

Also I really don't understand what you are bitching and moaning about because I often put many glasses on the bottom rack of my full size Bosch dishwasher when I have more cups and glasses than plates or pots/pans. You can put the dishes, glasses, etc anywhere you want as long as they are loaded in a manner that water spray can reach the soiled surfaces

What I've always wondered is why they don't make dishwashers with see-through front doors
 


They are common in the UK, I had one when it was just me and the missus. Now we have kids, we have a full size one which doesn't get used. Figure that one out! I think it's so the missus can complain about washing up each day!
 


The action inside is too steamy.
 


No pay TV ... thats like not having shoes, or dialup modem, or a fridge without the ice dispensor, or a live in nanny, or membership at the club, or a car that doesn't reverse park itself, or a wife that wasn't a model, or no pool room, spa, music studio.

I'm just a bit overwhelmed so I am dictating the rest of this post via my PA.

Soldier on chaps.

The Furniture and Appliance Store I used to work at as a kid Had one with a see through front for a display model. I believe it was a Maytag or Ammana model.

EDIT: And it was a working Display Model.
