Clean and clear good for me

Pros:-Worked just as expected. Cleaned all the dishes that sat in my dishwasher for the past 2.5 days with no problem.-There was no film or soapy residue left on my dishes. They all looked clean and clear.-There was a light soapy scent when my dishwasher was running while using these.Overall, nothing to dislike about these. I would get them again

Pros
  • Our goto tabs for the dishwasher -- clean well, never left in a blob in the dishwasher.
Cons
  • The tablets don't dissolve completely in the dishwasher, leaving chunks of detergent on dishes

Easy to use, does a great job of cleaning

I’m very pleased with this Finish dishwasher detergent. I don’t have to use a rinse aid, either, so that saves me money. The dishes dry with no water spots or discoloration. Since there’s 76 tablets in the container and I wash dishes approximately once every day or two, I won’t need to buy dishwasher detergent for over two months, another money-saver. I have no complaints about this product.

Pros
  • Have always loved the smell and ease of use! They are just a little pricey but worth it.
Cons
  • Bag the pods were in was split down the side and spilled inside the shipping box.

Excellent product. One of the best dishwasher pods I’ve ever used. Usually I have to use drying liquid but with these pods none is needed. They are powerful. I hardly rinsed any dishes. I left them in with grease and food residue and they came out sparkly clean. The best part was how dry everything came out. Great product for my dishwasher.

Pros
  • Cleaning Minecraft
Cons
  • Certain types of plastics become cloudy or discolored after washing

Great Product, Great Performance

Comparing with product purchased from a local retailer – right is Finish "Quantum” and left is Finish "Power” (this review). The packets look identical except for the liquid dark blue component on the right compared to the powdered dark blue component on the left. This brand is the one recommended for our Bosch dishwasher, and both variations provide excellent cleaning for dishes and leave glasses shining and spotless (soft water, less than 2ppm) – there appears to be no difference in the…

Pros
  • The main thing I like about these, is that the ones I have gotten recently do not have a wrapper.
Cons
  • They are not suitable for individuals with allergies

DO NOT PURCHASE!: my feedback

Bagged pods arrived crushed into powder. Poor packaging by manufacturer and crappy handling by vendors (Best Buy or others). Useless and returned same day.

Pros
  • Is what it is, no need for comments.... Does a good job using my GE dishwasher...
Cons
  • They contain harmful chemicals that are hazardous to aquatic life

It’s a trifecta pod for your dishwasher-

Nothing but ease… and a small footprint for under cupboard storage! Usually buying in liquid from big box store- the JUG is HuGe! Plus spot cleaner I must have 2 products on hand. This is simple, small + easy to store all in its ziploc bag. Pop one in and that’s it! Pod includes its hefty food fighting soap, hard water fighter + spot deterrent! My glasses and dishes look fabulous. Stainless flatware still holds a few spots but my slow dry cycle on older washer could be the culprit? This is rock

Pros
  • Leaves no residue, spots, or film on dishes, glasses or utensils
Cons
  • The tablets require more water to dissolve effectively

Dependable dishwashing quality

I like these packets of dishwashing detergent. They are super convenient to use and leave my dishes clean and shining. Finish is the brand I trust to clean my dishes. Although this product is formulated so that you don’t have to rinse, my dishwasher isn’t designed to handle food particles, so I wasn’t able to test that claim.Unfortunately, the zip seal on my bag of packets was put together wrong, so I will have to fold and clip the bag to keep them dry.

Pros
  • Leaves your dishes smelling clean and fresh, with no lingering chemical odors
Cons
  • They are prone to leaving streaks on dishes

Nice product!: my feedback

My friend recommend this brand to me and I chose this product because I want to make sure my dish will be super clean. This product made it! My dish is super clean after the cleaning, and it works great with my dish washer. I heard the tab skin may stick to the dish washer but it never happened when I use it. It's super clean, has great smell, easy to use, I love it!

Pros
  • As the manufacturer of Finish, we’re here to support your shopping experience! You can call, or visit us on social for 24/7 support
Cons
  • They cause the dishwasher to make loud noises during the wash cycle

Worked well for my opinion

I love Finish power ball dishwasher pods. It has 3 separate cleaning elements to get your dishes clean. They are a bit big thought and didn't fit in my pod compartment in my dishwasher. I've used these for about 2 weeks now and I had one pod that didn't fully dissolve.

Pros
  • I’ve tried many different pods for the dishwasher and these work the best. No residue left behind
Cons
  • Flimsy pods frequently get stuck and don’t deploy, leaving a mess at the end of the cycle.

Cleans great but strong scent

Previously used Finish max in 1. These do an excellent job of cleaning food off of dishes and preventing cloudy glass. My only compaints are that the dissolvable pack does seem to leave a teeny bit of pink goo in the filter over time that needs to be cleaned, and that the scent is so strong that some of my silicone dishes hang onto the scent afterwards.

Pros
  • Easy and convenient to use since it comes pre-measured in a tablet form that requires no guesswork
Cons
  • The tablets tend to jam the dishwasher dispenser

Excellente’ on my review.

Great scent, great cleaning, and virtually spot free. I’ve been using cascade for decades but i decided to try something new. I can’t say for sure if one is better than the other but i definitely liked these pods. They are at minimum equal to the other top brands. When they both get my dishes clean its difficult to judge either way.I believe clean dishes have more to do with stacking and the age of your dishwasher when it come to cleanliness. Although i would still highly recommend this pod.

Pros
  • Contains a powerful enzyme formula that eliminates even the toughest dried-on food residue
Cons
  • They require hot water to work effectively

Skip the headache and go with Cascade

I got these cause the price hurt a bit less than a box of cascade the same size. I even got overzealous and dumped these from the bag straight into the empty cascade container I was replacing these with. I regret that because I'm about to return them. Things were going just fine until suddenly I'm opening my dishwasher after a cycle to find a half dissolved finish packet and soap residue on my dishes. (Yes, I use a rinse aid.) I thought it was an outlier but then it kept happening. And so now…

Pros
  • Good value compared to other retail. Finish power work best in my old machine.
Cons
  • The tablets cause skin irritation on prolonged use

Small tabs that clean well.

I like these dishwasher pod/tab things. I have an older washer that was designed for powder, and these are thin enough to fit well in the powder compartment. They do a good job getting the dishes clean, and the glass stuff seems to rinse without residue. They're definitely a good option.

Pros
  • Finish works well, an excellent d/w detergent, both the gel packs or the solid.
Cons
  • They don't work well in low-temperature wash cycles

Nice smell. Dishes were sparkly clean!

I typically use Cascade Platinum but decided to check these out. I do use the Finish brand rinse aid and I noticed that my dishwasher actually suggests to use the Finish brand detergent as well! I did some pre-rinsing even though these claim you don’t need to do any but I did a little bit anyways. My glasses all came out sparkling clean as did the plates, and silverware. I also have a lot of plastic toddler and baby stuff that for nice and squeaky clean. Overall I’m happy with the Finish brand…

Pros
  • Convenient and cost-effective because it is sold in bulk and, as a result, is more affordable than other brands
Cons
  • The tablets cause dishwasher drains to clog

Terrible odor and leaves dishes with after taste

The odor coming off of these is very strong and coming out of my Bosh washer, all of our glasses and cups had a terrible after taste. If you like tasting the detergent you just wash with, go for these. If you like clean dishes with no soapy after taste, just use the old-style powerball tabs.

Pros
  • Health & Household
Cons
  • The tablets are not recommended for use in dishwashers with stainless steel interiors

Bad customer service

Pods came not separate and busted red power balls. Poor customer service, they said it Best Buy issue, but you can clearly see it's a manufacturing one. Won't buy again.

Pros
  • My dishes sparkle with very little effort on my part, I like that!
Cons
  • They don't work well in hard water areas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works just as well as the other brands

Thinner plastic case. Dishes came out clean. Cheaper price than the other versions by the same brand and cheaper than Cascade. Works well.

Pros
  • Easy to order and price is reasonable
Cons
  • The tablets are more expensive compared to other dishwasher detergents

Great performing dishwasher detergent

This is a review of Finish Power - 76ct - Dishwasher Detergent - Powerball - Dishwashing Tablets - Dish TabsWe have been using Finish detergent in our dishwasher for several years. Great performing and gets dishes. squeaky clean and does a good job removing cooked on food reducing the amount of pre-washing in the sink.

Pros
  • very clean dishes
Cons
  • At least 7 pods came with one section broken. Disappointed, what a waste

Our dishwasher tends to be temperamental so I was a little afraid to try something new, but this worked great. It got the dishes really clean. We've used this brand before but not this specific type, and it worked as well as the blue one we got. Couldn't be happier.

Pros
  • Reduces waste since it is packaged in a recyclable container
Cons
  • They damage dishwasher seals and gaskets

Sparkling dishes - my new review

Works well to get dishes clean. I run my dishwasher every 1-2 days, I don’t pre-rinse, and my dishes come out without food stuck on them. Glasses come out spot-free without residue. I have noticed a few times some of the pod gets stuck in the detergent pocket and doesn’t completely dissolve, but the dishes still come out clean.

Pros
  • Works well in my dishwasher
Cons
  • The tablets have a strong chemical smell that is overpowering
