Finish Deep Clean

I have used several dishwasher detergents over the years, and Finish All in 1 Powerball tablets have been one of the more consistent performers. The tablets are individually wrapped and easy to load into the detergent compartment. They dissolve fully during the wash cycle and leave no leftover residue in the dispenser. I have used them on standard cycles as well as heavier wash settings, and they perform reliably in both. Dishes come out clean with no visible food particles left behind. I have run loads with dried on pasta sauce, coffee stains on mugs, and greasy cookware, and the results have been solid. Glassware comes out clear without a cloudy film, which is something I pay close attention to. There is a light, clean scent but nothing overwhelming. Most importantly, there is no chemical smell left on dishes after the cycle finishes. Pros 1. Strong cleaning performance on dried food and grease 2. Tablets dissolve completely 3. No cloudy residue on glassware 4. Convenient pre measured format 5. Consistent results from load to load Cons 1. Individually wrapped tabs create extra packaging 2. Slightly more expensive than basic powder detergents Overall, these are dependable dishwasher tablets that do exactly what they claim. They simplify the process and deliver clean, spot free dishes with minimal effort. I would continue purchasing them for everyday use.

Cleans dishes well. Glasses not spotty, but we do use jet dry rinse aid also. Nice scent when you use it, but dishes do not smell, so it works well.

These are the only dishwasher tab we will use. They do not leave an aftertaste on your dishes. Any other detergent, and I can taste it on the dishes. They clean well too.

Good Value but Pods are Hard to Open

Love these, all others make my drain lines smell so bad. The pods covered in plastic do NOT breakdown all the way and are just gross.

These are indeed the foil wrapped pods (thank goodness). I've been using these for over 10 years since I bought my Kitchenaid dishwasher. They were recommended by the manufacturer at the time. They always get my dishes perfectly clean (I do pre-rinse them for good measure). They leave no film in the dishwasher. My dishwasher still looks brand new inside. No residue. When these foil wrapped pods were discontinued at all of the local stores, I tried the other "dissolving" pods, and within a few washes, I noticed a buildup in the dishwasher. Gross. After doing my own research, I determined that the outer casing (that's supposed to dissolve) essentially gets diluted into the water and redeposited on everything. Sometimes it doesn't all dissolve and leaves a film. You are eating it off your dishes! It's not good for the internal pumps and valves, and will lead to premature wear and plumbing problems of your appliance. This was confirmed by several repairmen and handymen (as well as my own common sense). One guy told me 1 out 4 calls is a pump failure (dishwashers and clothes washers) with either goo or partially dissolved pod shells jammed inside from the modern "dissolving" pods. My dishwasher and washing machine are still on their original pumps, and I'd like to keep it that way thank you. To open these pods, just tear the foil like a piece of paper. I find that simple, but it might be harder for those with dexterity problems. In this case, I recommend using gel liquid or powder with enzymes as the main ingredient (not bleach) instead of the dissolving pods. For those who complain that the foil pouches spill powder when opening, yes, that happens. Fairly often. Even if the pod comes out busted up, that doesn't matter! Powder is powder! It will still clean the dishes. Dump it in the detergent tray and move on with life. Back in the old days, dishwasher detergent was only sold as powder in a box. These foil wrapped pods are just compressed powder into a cube. For those who think it makes a mess when the powder spills on the floor, I learned that lesson 10 years ago. The simple "life hack" is to tear open the foil over the detergent tray. That way, if some spills when I open the foil, it will just go into the dishwasher where it belongs. Problem solved. Excess powder that misses the tray can contribute to the prewash. Another hidden benefit. Life seems to be a trade between convenience and longevity. Smart people find ways to get both. Not-so-smart people buy a new appliance every 3-5 years. Your choice.

The powerballs work so much better than the gel pods. I constantly had issues with the gel pods not dissolving correctly or not releasing completely from the dispenser. I love that these are individually wrapped.

This is a very good product and the price is reasonable at Amazon.

Cuando está empacado en Kleen pack no se rompe, pero en esta forma de empaque tipo aluminio salen rotos, hay que tener cuidado en abrirlos .

I use these to help scrub off char on my pans as long as the pan itself is not too oily. For fatty, oily or dishes with egg yolk, I go with Finish Quantum. These are cheap so I sometimes throw one of these into the washer for short wash cycle instead of the detergent compartment for half-load washes.
