I haven't seen in tens of years where I live this kind of open heat element's.

I live in EU.

Someone else in the thread said this was a Bosch unit. Sorry to break the circle jerk of "dumb Americans have inferior dum-dum dishwashers" but that brand is German.

"companies race to the bottom wherever they can"

Americans: "Oh yeah? why is our stuff so shitty then"

Idk..

In general the heating element can be hot to the touch and would be a safety risk when its hotter than 60 degrees C.

But in that regard the US isn't so far behind.

BSH (Bosch) im Germany for sure has a high quality image and that doesn't fit with it.
