Review on Experience Ultimate Clean & Shine With Finish Quantum Powerball Dish Tabs, Jet-Dry Rinse Agent, And In-Wash Dishwasher Cleaner by Mike Zeigler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well - my new review

This works well for me. Looks like some people don't like it, but that's okay.This gets my dishes clean. Only rarely have I needed to rewash something, and only because of baked-on nastiness that requires scrubbing. This stuff is soap, not sufulric acid. I know the commercials love to talk about how you can throw anything in a dishwasher and it comes out 100% clean if you use their product, but that is not reality. That lasagna you baked in a pan for two hours? Yeah, you're going to need to scrub that pan first.Speaking of caked-on grime, get a jug of liquid or gel soap and use a blob of that for pre-wash. If your dishwasher doesn't have a prewash cup, just put it on the inside of the door. The water jets will get it. This helps for really dirty stuff and can save a wash cycle. Also, rinse your dishes first. The less stuff dirtying the wash water, the better of a job it can do. Plus, many new dishwashers don't have grinders anymore. Instead, all that soggy lettuce and other crap collects in a filter that I guarantee will be nastier than a Wal-Mart toilet if you keep putting food chunks in the dishwasher.Some people have mentioned these don't always dissolve. Folks, run your hot water before using the dishwasher. Newer units either don't have heating elements at all, or they do, but they are not strong enough to get the water as hot as a hot water heater can. This is by design, unfortunately. There is a push to make appliances more energy-efficient. Efficiency is good, but there are tradeoffs. I like saving money on water and electricity, but a dishwasher still needs to be able to do its job. Help it out.I have gone through eight of these bags and only had one pair of tabs that were not cut apart at the factory, and I needed to cut them myself. I should not have to do this, but I feel like the defect rate is low enough that it is not worth griping about. If my next bag comes with a whole bunch not separated, then sure, I will knock off a star for that.Anyway, this product works well for me. I am sure there are other good products, but this is the one I have been using for a year and a half and I am happy with it.

Pros
  • Easy and efficient
Cons
  • The product may cause damage to dishwasher components over time

This product works well....altho sometimes my coffee/tea mugs still have a little stain inside them. My main "complaint" is that the package does not close/seal easily....I have to try multiple times to close the bag they come in. I finally just gave in and put the remaining pods in a heavy duty zip lock bag that I use for many things. I mean I literally got tired of going back and forth again and again trying to seal the bag they came in.
