Finish All In 1 Detergent
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The finish brand of dishwasher tablets uses the “hardened powder” approach as opposed to encapsulated liquid. The tablets usually dissolve and clean my dishes just fine. I never find streaks or water marks. In fact, I would venture to say that the tablets do their job wonderfully.\n\nHowever, as someone who tries very hard to reduce the amount of plastic waste I produce, I was disappointed with having each tablet individually wrapped in foil. Each night, I threw away plastic waste that seemed unnecessary. Despite how wonderfully this product worked, I will probably be going with a different brand from this point forward.\n\nThat being said, if you are concerned about small children mistaking your dishwasher tablets for candy, these may make you feel at ease! I, however, look forward to the day I can use finish without feeling guilty about producing excess plastic trash.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Updated. Called Finish and told them that every pod was just powder. It got a NEVER HEARD THAT IN MY 12 years here and that can’t happen. That then implies I broke 94 pods, because I sent them the video of all the pods PUFFED UP filled with air and the powder residue all over the outside of the box and inside Amazon shipping box . Yes, the representative issued coupons and I got them today hence why I waited to write the review however I did expect a check so that I could deposit it and then buy more dishwasher pods. Been with Finish for every but going forward it’s a different brand.\n\nAnyone know how I can post the video here with review ?\n\nThis is my go to dishwasher pod. For sometime now they come in a cardboard box (which is fine) I happened to have saved and prefer the old style plastic tub because I can re seal it easier and it keeps out any moisture that could be under sink. So I set the stage..... I rotate old to new when i get a new box. I tip the old out on countertop and get ready to place the new ones in, the very first one is “ALL Powder “ nothing solid about it except the round ball (I can feel it), I grab another and another and so on. At least ten, back to back are broken into powder. Which when I think of it and look back it the other item with this order in the amazon box is covered in a “dust”!of FINISH soap. This can’t be a shipping issue, the Finish box is 100 percent fine. I tried to call the Finish company but missed them by 15 minutes after hours. I researched on line and many places said the the pod needs to be in whole form and not broken up, to work properly. I’m baffled on this one , as I said the box is fine. Is this a manufacturering issue ? Anyone seen this happen before?'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I jumped on the Finish train after I used the Finish dishwasher liquid cleaner a couple of times and my family and I loved the results and the clean scent. Normally I used Cascade dishwasher pods and it's been that way for over a year or so. I'm now fully converted to Finish.\n\nCascade pods have a tendency to leak because of the gel on top. This can cause pods to stick together in the container. Finish dishwasher pacs are individually wrapped which was a nice surprise. If the Finish pacs break off or crumble then it is all contained in each individual wrapping. I'm not sure if that's great for the environment but it's certainly convenient for this customer.\n\nI also found that Cascade didn't clean my dishes as well, hence the reason why I had to purchase the Finish dishwasher cleaner in the first place. I wasn't very familiar with the brand but once I used it I really liked it. Finish dishwasher pacs have the same great scent and in my opinion they give my dishes a deeper clean."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I grew up in an Asian American household where the dishwasher was practically a glorified drying rack. I was taught that this was the right way to respect our dishes. Now this product has come along that cleans very well especially with jet dry added in, and is extremely fast and convenient. It shames my ancestors, but, well, i worship the Gods of consumer culture now.

My dishwasher doesn\'t like the \'gel\' pack ones. It seems to build up mildew looking stuff inside if i don\'t use a powder (or compressed powder in this case). This tab and rinse aid produces the best results for me. I miss the old dishwashers over these new "energy efficient" dishwashers that run for 4 hours where the old one washed for an hour and gave you as good results if not better. Doesn\'t leave a real strong smell, leaves it smelling clean instead. I\'m not bothered if some of them are crushed inside the packages, it all goes in the dishwasher, whether its a solid brick or a brick that\'s been crushed up, it does not affect the outcome of the load of dishes. Also dont like the \'self dissolving\' no-need-to-unwrap packaging. This is so much better. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "When we bought our Bosch dishwasher, there was a sample of these pellets included with it and a sticker on the inside that recommended Finish dishwashing tablets. Now...I know that this is just a marketing thing and that Finish probably paid Bosch a bunch of money to have that stuff put in there. However, I don't have any dishwasher detergent loyalty...so after I used up the samples and found that my dishes were coming out perfect every time. I stuck with it. I've been buying this same brand for years and it does a great job!\n\nAn added benefit that I didn't realize...because all the detergent is compacted into a little puck...and the puck falls down into the dishwasher when it's released from the holder, you NEVER get undissolved detergent stuck in the little holder the way some powders or liquids do from time to time."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Finish was recommended by a friend and I am so happy that she did give the recommendation. This Finish product does a wonderful job with my countertop dishwasher. My things come out, literally, squeaky clean. I dont torture test my machine or the Finish. But there are some tough food stuffs left on things. It gets them right off.\n\nBest example I can give: my metal fine mesh strainers. Used primarily for draining pasta. No matter how I would hand wash them before, sponge, dish brush, there was always that lack of shine. The strainers remained dull. Well, the strainers fir within my dishwasher, so I did. Put them in, put in the Finish pod and when everything was done, I was shocked. My strainers looked as if I had just brought them! They were shiny once again and totally clean.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Do you use your dishwasher as a rack for drying the dishes you washed by hand? Do you have to remind your "spouse/house partner/roommate" if they keep putting visibly dirty dishes in the dishwasher they ensure dishes will come out dirty? It seems that is what I was doing. No soap that I have used over the years could be trusted to clean well enough that dishes came out of the machine clean. Squeaky clean and no spots--what was that? Either too expensive or required a rinse treatment etc ....until I discovered a long time we\'ll know brand...Finish Powerball.\nI found the first dishwasher soap that works without having to hand wash the dishes before-hand. We have a newer dishwasher but it is a plain--no fancy settings--machine. It washes on short or regular or heavy cycle. It dries on Heated or Air. That is it. Many of you may not think this is unusual--or want to buy a more environmentally friendly product. I got a better deal here on Amazon and will save water by reducing my hand prewash. Finish Powerball 94 load container is now my brand. Woo hoo!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Leaves residue and sediment-like powder on everything. Have to hand-rinse everything coming out of the dishwasher. All of it feels slick too when it's rewetted, like the way chemicals with a high pH feel on your hands (like bleach)."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "These were recommended to us by the service technician who installed our dishwasher. He said that the dishwasher detergent that comes in the soft gel like package will gum up the dishwasher overtime, and he recommended these since they just compacted powder. Having used these for over 6 months now, I can say our dishwasher washes our dishes just as well as the day it was installed. Dishes come out perfectly clean the first time, and I've never had an issue with leftover residue or undissolved detergent. The pack of 94 tabs has lasted us over 6 months and I'd say we probably wash dishes at least 3-4 times a week. I do typically always wash our dishes on the hottest sanitize setting, so maybe the other reviewers who are having issues with residue aren't using the hottest setting. I had used Cascade before, but I will be sticking with these from now on."}]
