Finish Quantum Dishwasher Pods, No Pre-Rinse Dishwasher Detergent Soap Removes 24HR Dried-On Stain and Grease, Leaving a Virtually Spotless Shine, 82 Count

I thought there was something wrong with my dishwasher because I’ve used these before and never had any issues. I think either this was a faulty batch or they changed the formula, but now it leaves a soapy smell and taste on everything especially silicone utensils. The dishes look clean and my dishwasher is rinsing them properly, I checked, my temp is getting super hot as well, all the sprayers are working, and it’s dissolving properly and all that. But for some reason it’s not rinsing off the dishes enough. I think it’s simply too concentrated, even when I have a completely full load. I did an extra rinse after the dishes looked clean and I saw soapy water coming off. After the second rinse the smell was gone. So that tells me that even though my rinse cycle works, this takes two rinses to come off and that’s the reason for the terrible soapy taste. So how long have I been ingesting soap residue? I am not having this issue with any other detergent and I am now using something else.

product good, shipping bad, 6 off these popped and leaked over all of them. I had to wipe and dry each one NOT FUN. I will be getting these from the grocery store from now on.

I don’t know if this particular item is different from store bought, but this is the first time I bought the finish quantum on amazon (normally buy it at local grocery store, have been using for 4 years and never any issues), and THIS product left such a powerful smell in my dishwasher that my entire kitchen reeked after a regular wash cycle and left a strong and lasting odor on all the dishes, not to mention a greasy film. The dishwasher is clean, and even a regular water run of the afflicted dishes (without any detergent) did not take away the scent entirely. Sadly, throwing away the entire purchase. So much money wasted.

Here's where I'm coming from. I've been using Finish Quantum Max for YEARS. It was probably the best dish detergent I'd found. Every time I needed new dish soap, I didn't buy what was on sale, I bought Finish Quantum. Of course, I was a sucker for the "new" version, believing they could improve on an all ready great detergent. But, sadly, this is a total failure of a product. I'm using a modern, higher grade and efficient dish washer of a brand most would know and recognize. This new product doesn't dissolve properly and just looking at the plastic coating, it's obvious as to why. The tablets are basically coated in plastic, which of course doesn't dissolve, instead of the membrane-like material used previously. The smell is also absolutely horrific - I don't mind a "clean" smell, but this stuff smells absolutely wretched. Most importantly, because they don't dissolve, they don't function as a dish detergent - which means it fails completely and gets 1 star. We are literally going to toss the remaining 76 or so of these tablets in the trash and will never buy it again. Unfortunately, I usually buy dish detergent well in advance of actually needing it, so I'm outside of Amazon's return window. I'm actually debating whether I really should take them to a hazmat disposal facility, they smell that bad. 2019 Update: Finish got in touch with me and while they couldn't fix the problems, they were kind enough to send me a bottle of Jet Dry (which I also use), so that was nice. That did encourage me to really figure out what was wrong, it seems some people are happy and surely, the product can work. Figured out the problems, I did. The first problem is temperature related. It is essential to heat your water to 130-140 degrees when using this product. If you're like me and most people, your water tank is set at a more economical 125. Fortunately, my washer has a pre-heat option and this detergent won't work properly without this setting. The problem is that this adds quite a bit to the cycle time and increases energy use, considering the inconvenient fact that the old Quantum Max didn't require this. Second problem, which took a ridiculous number of failed test loads to figure out, was the plastic lip of the detergent packet was often getting caught on the automatic soap release door when it opened during the cycle. This new formula has a gel-like component, which to contain it, Finish used two plastic-like membranes sealed together creating about a 1/16" lip. The packet would frequently fail to release into the machine until agitation & water eventually knocked it out sometime later in the washing process. I also found that on my machine, there is only one way in which the newly-designed packet will fit into the soap dispenser without consistently getting caught on release door. After I figured those two things out, especially the latter, I have been able to get reliable washes with this detergent. I would almost argue the wash is superior to the all ready great previous formula. Any improvements, however, can also be attributed to the increased temperatures from the pre-heat cycles, though. I have very high water and energy costs, I'm a little miffed that it took almost $40 in failed washes to figure out why the product didn't work. I'm glad I got to the bottom of the issue, but am only meh on the product since it only worked for me with considerable additional cost and time. As for the smell. It still smells atrocious, even after letting the bag air out for months. Can't put lipstick on that pig. June 2019 Update: I'm on my second 82 count bag of this now and the new bag smells MUCH better. It smells "clean" now. Clearly, Finish is using some black magic chemical scent engineering to mask whatever scorched earth hazmat level 3 concoction they devised into this product. My final rating is 4+ stars, because Finish has improved the initial product, but I'm going to keep my review critical as it might help others figure out their troubles.

Caused my dishwasher to go nuts and foam unto the floor, very first use. For the past two years I'd used Amazon brand dishwasher detergent, zero problems, excellent results . . . no longer available. So I tried this brand, 10 minutes into the cycle and foam appeared at the base. The whole underside of the cabinet was covered in foam. I'll be returning this to Amazon.

This product doesn't work well. I switched out my Cascade Platinum for this product and my dishes were still dirty after multiple washes. At first, I thought I hadn't turned on the dishwasher. After monitoring it and attempting multiple times, it was clear to me the cleaning power of this product is extremely low.

What a disappointment this was. I've been mostly pleased using Finish Powerball (which is cheaper). This one looked like a real step up and I paid a little extra, but it performed much worse. Every single load has at least one bowl that needs to be hand cleaned and, worse, it leaves soap residue inside some of the glasses, which was never a problem with Finnish Powerball packets or Amazon Basics which I have also used lately (and which is also much cheaper than either Finish product). Other than that, they are easy to use and the smell is fine, but I will never buy them again. UPDATE: 7/27/24 Tried a second batch because the price was heavily discounted. This new one does not clean any better and this time around, the smell is horrible. It sticks to all our glasses and water bottles and everything taste like it. Just a horrible, horrible product!

Los platos, vasos y ollas salen realmente limpios

Value for money. My steel and glass shiny. Even for Indian cooking dish this is perfect.

These have mixed reviews, but I am happy to say that I have found them to be great and super value when buying on Amazon.
