The latest washing machines and dryers have AI sensing, moisture detection with material type care, heat pumps for energy efficiency, and many other advanced features.

All I want (have wanted since I was a kid) is to have clear peek-in doors, illumination, and/or a camera that shows what’s happening inside.

That’s the simplest thing they could add, and boom! It’s now an entertainment/meditation appliance, not just utilitarian.

Same applies to dish washers.
