Our family has a saying "if we wash the dishes really well before putting them in the dishwasher, they'll come out clean". So true. Everything was always rinsed and scrubbed before going in. Then liquid detergent was added and the dishwasher run. I just could not get our ten year-old dishwasher to perform well. I eventually watched YouTube videos and took apart the insides of our dishwasher. I disassembled everything to determine why it wasn't cleaning well. Twice. Put it all back together. Filters were cleaned, arms all moved, checked where the spray was going, checked the inside of the water conduits. Nothing helped, all seemed ok. So, it was time to buy a new dishwasher. I gave up and went shopping. While checking prices, features, and ratings on dishwashers, this thread popped up. I thought "no way". But for this much money, why not try it? It's a lot less money and hassle than buying a new dishwasher. So keep shopping for a dishwasher but throw in an order for this. When the product arrived, I quickly tried it on half of a load of dishes, expecting no good result. Maybe I could use the product with the new dishwasher later, whatever. Opened the dishwasher. Everything was sparkling clean! I think my jaw dropped. Even the "test knives" I'd put in covered with margarine were perfect. Huh?! That had certainly never happened before! Had to be a fluke. I still didn't believe it. So, enforcing a "scrape don't rinse" rule, over the next day or so we loaded up the dishwasher again with VERY dirty dishes. Got several disapproving looks from my wife. Promised to take it all out, rinse/wash everything, and put it back if this didn't work. Plus, it was hard to break our old habit of washing the dishes first so that they'd come out clean. These had dried on foods, cake, eggs, more margarine, etc. Along with her, I'm also thinking that there's no way this will work. I have to admit that this morning I expected the dishes to at least be somewhat dirty when I opened the dishwasher. This was really pushing the limits in a machine that hadn't cleaned well in years. Opened it and - the plates, cups, wine glasses, and utensils were all perfect. In fact, better than they've ever looked (some things are clean that had been stained for years). Coffee stains came out of coffee cups that I would've have to work very hard with a scrubber to remove. I am blown away. If your dishwasher isn't cleaning well, and you use liquid detergent but can't find a physical reason, this might be worth trying. Even as I'm writing this I still can't quite believe it. What a GREAT product!

I bought these Finish Dishwasher Tabs (8X, All In 1, Fresh Scent) via Subscribe and Save. After the added savings, averaging 11 cents each, makes for an excellent value on the box of 90. I used to work for an appliance retailer where we recommended and often used Finish dish tabs. The best cleaning (but more expensive) are made by Miele and aren't sold in most grocery stores. Finish tabs are the next best thing. The red center is rinse aid which helps dishes dry better (especially necessary and helpful if you have a dishwasher with a stainless steel tub). Each of the layers dissolve at different times during the wash cycles and help get everything clean. If you find your glasses covered with white spots, it's not the detergent's fault (well, not exactly). Newer dishwashers clean better so the trick is that you need to leave some of the sauces on your dishes. Scrape off the hard foods but leave on the ketchup, gravy, etc... Reason being, the soap needs something to do. If you pre-rinse everything (like in the old days when dishwashers didn't clean as well), the soap has nothing to do and you'll end up with soap residue on your glassware and silverware. Stop pre-rinsing for cleaner dishes- really. Another tip, if you're washing a light load that's not super dirty... We cut these tabs in half and they clean just as well. Kitchen shears cut them but usually one half falls apart. I throw the broken pieces into the dishwasher (works just as well) and use the second half next load. We only use full tabs when we have a heavy load that needs more detergent. You can see what works best with your appliance. If your dishwasher was built in the last 20 years or so, all of the above probably applies to you. Some of the more inexpensive models (often in apartments) don't have built-in hot water heaters. You can try running your sink water until hot, just before starting the dishwasher and that'll help it get up to temperature faster and cleaning better. Recommended. Smile. Hope this is helpful!

I really like these finish powerball tablets. Been using them for a number of years and they work great in our Whirlpool dishwasher. Would be 5 stars except for two things: 1. Never have the advertised 85 in a box. Always some short. 2. Often the package comes with broken product. This time I received 83 wrappers, but only 81 had dishwasher tablets inside. Two were apparently never sealed and opened in shipping. The picture shows the “remains of the fray” at the bottom of the carton. I’ll continue to buy (I have a second unopened box - will see what I get when that’s opened) and use until the wasted product makes this too messy to handle.

I recently switched from Cascade platinum to Finish 0% because I have many silicone utensils and microwave covers and all of them started smelling and tasting (as I discovered when I taste tested from a silicone spoon) just like the Cascade Platinum pods. Yuck! I was horrified when I realized it and checked every silicone item in my kitchen and yep, everything had that same nasty scent! I stir delicate sauces and eggs with those utensils and the utensils aren't cheap! Plus if I can smell it and taste it then there was chemical residue leaching into my food! I kept the pods under the sink and everything under there smelled bad too. I actually had a bag of dog treats under there I had to throw out. I don't know if Cascade changed the chemicals they use but I hadn't noticed it being as bad as that before, but I will never go back! I tried a number of different pods, natural and not so natural and many of them just didn't work, admittedly Cascade Platinum did a great (but stinky) job! I found that these Finish 0% were absolutely the best, and cleaned every bit as well as the Cascade Platinum and no nasty scent! Plus after a couple of washes my silicone items don't smell or taste of chemicals anymore. I gave my Cascade pods and rinse aid away. I also switched my rinse aid and will separately review that too. I am extremely pleased with these pods and have been using them for a couple of months now and the performance is great and no nasty smell!

I am obsessed with all things kitchen and will buy 8 different lemon zesters just to find the best. You can find those reviews by checking out my lists. Happy cooking and eating because Food is Glorious!

We first started using the Finish Powerball detergent because we never knew if we were using the right amount of the powder we were using. Right away, we learned that we had been overusing the powder, and it was etching our dishes. Using the Finish Powerball ended the overuse problem. But we also noticed that our dishes were coming out much cleaner. Glasses were coming out especially beautiful. No detergent we had used previously had shown similar results. Our only complaint was having to open the wrapped packages. So we tried the gelpacs instead. The results were just not as good. We also noted that the gelpacs did not contain bleach. I am immune compromised, so I liked having the bleach in these powerball ones. So we switched back. We just got a new dishwasher put in by our apartment managers. The new one came with a package of Cascade platinum. The Cascade was equal to the Finish Powerball detergent; we couldn't see any difference. But when we thought about buying some more Cascade, the difference in cost made the Cascade not worth it. So we stayed with the Finish Powerball packets. We are thinking about trying the Finish Quantum, but there is a cost differential to those as well. There just doesn't seem to be a reason to change from the powerball packets. They have given us the best cleaning for the money so far.

Finish All in 1-85ct Dishwasher Detergent has been a game-changer for my kitchen cleaning routine. These Powerball Dishwashing Tablets have simplified my life in more ways than one. The first thing that caught my attention was the Fresh Scent - it left my dishes smelling wonderfully clean. Using these Dish Tabs has been a breeze. They dissolve quickly and effectively, leaving no residue on my dishes. The cleaning power of Finish All in 1-85ct is impressive. It effortlessly tackles tough stains and greasy pots and pans. I no longer have to worry about pre-rinsing or re-washing. One of the best features is the convenience. I simply pop a tablet into the dishwasher, and it does all the hard work. This has saved me time and effort, making it a must-have in my kitchen. I've tried other dishwasher detergents in the past, but Finish All in 1-85ct stands out for its performance and reliability. It consistently delivers sparkling clean dishes, load after load. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a hassle-free and effective dishwasher detergent. It has truly made a difference in my daily routine.

We have always used Finish. It does the best job of anything we have ever used. No film on black dishes nor residue on my glasses. Liquid detergent has never worked well either. We were running out of detergent and we were about to have a lot of dishes because of the holidays. I got on Amazon and ordered this because the price was great and it was prime. When it arrived, I opened the box and each tablet is wrapped in a silver bag! I am used to the ones that are in clear plastic that you can just put in the washer without unwrapping. No where does it say this in the description. This is why I gave it a three star rating. Not for the performance but for the inconvenience. It is really a time savor to not have to unwrap it every time. I don't want it on my hands either. So I unwrap them when I have time and keep them in a plastic container with a lid so they are ready to go when the dishwasher is full. I will not buy this exact kind again.
