A few years ago, I lived in a room that shared common areas with many other housemates. Included in these common areas was a Maytag Neptune washer. This was the first front-loading washer that I have ever seen WITHOUT a window. It threw me for a loop. The basket does have a slight tilt to it (maybe 15-30 degrees upward, compared to most which are straight), but any decent load would fall out of the basket when the door was opened.
Sidenote: This was one of the first residential washers that was a front-loader. It took me a few months to realize why the model was called Neptune.
