All-in-One Dishwasher Detergent Powerball Tablets, Fresh Scent 54 Count

For as long as I can remember, I've had access to an automatic dishwasher for decades. I remember when I was a child, my parents had a pretty decent Whirlpool back in the day (about 20 years ago). There are two things that I remember about that Whirlpool. 1) It made washing dishes easier (I hated washing dishes by hand) and 2) we used a box of powdered Cascade for washing dishes (the kind in that metallic green box). As I grew older and moved away from home, I experienced probably about almost a dozen or so different automatic dishwashers of varying brands & ages in numerous different apartments/homes that either I lived in or my friends/family lived in. Of all those experiences, I can definitely say that they all washed dishes well. However I noticed that on occasion, sometimes glassware would have this white powdery residue on them and also, those "Glad" brand tupperware would sometimes get the same white residue that was sometimes even "caked" into the plastic with no way to remove it. Putting 2 & 2 together, I realized that this residue had to be the dishwasher detergent, as there is no way that just the dishwasher alone could do something like this. Having experienced various brands of detergents (liquid kind, generic, brand name, tablets, pure powder, powder "packets"), I've found that nearly all of them have always put this residue on my glasses/tupperware to some degree.... except one brand. Electrosol (renamed to the name we know as Finish). I've mainly had experience with the Finish Powerball Tablets, Fresh Scent, 60-Count and the Finish Quantum Powerballs. Both of these products work wonders with getting my dishes clean but more importantly, these are the only two products that I've used that DON'T leave that nasty white residue on everything.

I was a little hesitant to purchase these Powerball tablets after having used solely liquid detergent for what seems like forever. I simply thought to myself that there was no way that a little tablet could get my dishes, especially the pots and pans with caked on messes clean. Boy was I wrong! After using these for nearly a month now, I can honestly say that these really do work amazingly well. The ease of use with these is so simple - you just open the tablet packing, drop into the main cycle receptacle, close the lid and let it do the work! No worrying about spilling liquid detergents any longer, fussing over powders, or needing to waste excess product in the pre-wash bin either! Somehow these tablets get my dishes sparkling clean every single time. Even when I have a huge load of dirty pans mixed with glass/crystal stemware, everything always comes out to a brilliant shine with no residue. I am one firm believer in Finish Powerball tablets now, and love the ease of use and the shiny clean results that they provide time after time!

I've been a lifetime user of C*sc*de - don't know why, it's just what I started buying when first on my own and it always did the trick. However, several years later and I still have the same day to day, clear drinking glasses that seemed to become cloudy overnight. My plates had this foggy residue on the white center, showing scratches. Hand washing wouldn't do the trick, jet dry wouldn't do the trick, running the dishwasher half full - any type of cycle wouldn't do the trick. I picked up the Finish Powerballs on a daily special, and I'm sold. Immediately cleaned the cloudiness off of everything. Have been for using about a year and while it doesn't work "miracles" on hard food (yes - we still have to rinse), it does a great job at keeping the clear glass clear. No residue. Just clean. Almost wish it hadn't worked, because at least I'd finally have a reason to buy a new set of glasses :) (The glasses I was having the problem were the heavy / solid glass with the engraved square patterns, and the medium weight glass with an engraved vertical line pattern at the bottom.) I don't know if the other brand changed something after all these years, or if it was just age, but the Finish Powertabs blew it away in terms of clean and residue.

Thought I'd try the all-in-1 because it was a little better price. But you get what you pay for. I've used Finish Quantum for years. I first started using Quantum when we thought we needed to replace our dishwasher. A salesman gave us a sample of the Finish Quantum and it did a great job, we switched dishwasher detergent instead of buying a new dishwasher years ago. Now with a new dishwasher, I decided to try the all in one, but will be returning to Quantum, it cleans dishes better and doesn't leave any residue. I'm finding the all in 1 doesn't always remove all the food residue, and doesn't leave glassware quite as clear and shiny.

For over twenty years I have been using only Amway degergent in my dishwasher because nothing else worked. My well water caused horrible calcium deposits. Not only would these mark the glasses so they always looked dirty, they would quickly destroy my dishwashers due to the build up in the mechanisms. I was skeptical because every five years or so I run out of Amway and try something else. Nothing ever came close, until now... I was delighted that my glasses and flatware looked new when I unloaded the dishwasher. It actually works better than Amway. It is cheaper, too, through Amazon. Don't get my wrong, Amway is a good product. I will be using this one from now on. It's easy. It's inexpensive. It works.

How exciting can I make a review of dishwasher detergent? Turns out, not very exciting at all! I wish I could report dishes came out looking just like I'd bought them at the store, that my glassware all turned into crystal, that my knives got sharpened just by washing them, and that food tasted better when prepared on plates cleaned by this product, but that wouldn't be true. What is true is that Finish has been my go-to dishwasher detergent for several years now as it consistently leaves my plates cleaner and streak-free (almost always, anyway) than other detergents I've tried. In the end, isn't that a good enough reason?

This is product work like a charm and is easily use into the dishwasher , Left no residues so i recommended it

This is a good product however I would caution people to remember a few points: 1) The quality/settings of your dishwasher matter more than the cleaner. 2) Our dishes became SIGNIFICANTLY cleaner after a cycle when started using Rinse Agent. 3) Works as intended. But see little difference in leading brands. Really the difference in these products relate to the 'pod' type - gel, hardened powder, etc. These are like harder powder that come in individual wrappers. Gel Packs seem more environmentally friendly, although not as 'pre-use durable'.

This is the best DW soap for our Edmonton water, used in combination with Finish Jet Dry. I was so happy to be able to buy this through Amazon at a much better price than in the grocery stores. Don't be misled by the picture showing 54 tabs, it is actually 60 as described.

Fit perfectly in the soap dispenser. The lid easily closes. Dishes come out clean with no soap residue.
