Finish Max In 1 Powerball, 63 Tablets, Super Charged Automatic Dishwasher Detergent, Fresh Scent

I've used the previous iteration of Finish Powerball All in 1 tablets since they first came out - maybe the late 1990s? I was always very pleased with how well they cleaned the dishes and how little spotting they left behind compared to other products. I try to remember to add a rinsing agent, but sometimes run out or forget to refill the dispenser, and I still had mostly clean and shiny dishes. The only thing I hated about the All in 1 tablets was the wrapper. I liked that they were individually wrapped to keep them from crumbling or scattering powder in the box, but I hated trying to unwrap them. If I'm handling dirty dishes, my hands get wet and slippery, and it's difficult to open the tiny wrappers. I didn't want to open them with my teeth after handling them with dirty hands, so I was always having to grab the scissors to open them. When the Max in 1 tablets came out recently, I was hesitant to change from my tried and true All in 1, but decided to buy the smallest package they had at the store and at least give them a try. I did like the fact that they came in a compact, easy to open bag rather than the cardboard box that the All in 1s had been in. This seemed like a more practical packaging solution. I didn't realize until I opened the pouch to use one of the tabs for a load of dishes that the individual wrappers I've hated for so long are GONE! These have a tight wrap of some water-proof clear plastic-like material. All you have to do is put it in the dishwasher, and the wrapper dissolves in the wash. I was already pleased with how clean the All in 1 tablets got my dishes. This new product seems to clean at least as well, if not better. I got a new dishwasher at about the same time I changed to these tablets, so it's impossible for me to say how much of the improvement is due to the tablets vs. the new dishwasher. I'm satisfied with these tablets and will continue to buy them.

Worth it when you can get it at less than 40c per tablet, good to stock up during sales/promotions. Generally the tablets can be kept as long as you control the humidity properly.

Great product!

Works as advertised. Nothing much to elaborate.

I hated these when I first started using them. Time after time, I would have part of the plastic pod stuck inside the soap dispenser after the wash cycle was done, even if I wiped the dispenser before I put the pod in. I got the idea to fold the pod in half, and it made all the difference. No more sticky pod plastic in the soap dispenser. I'm really pleased with the pods as they clean the dishes really well and no spots! I even ordered another package of them since they are the best price for the quality and size of the package.
