Used these , was not a fan. I found that my dishes were still not the cleanest and that the packs didn't always break down in the wash. I went back to buying the cascade ones they work the best for me.
We got these recently and started noticing food stuck on after washing still, and little white things that we weren't sure what they were. At first we thought it was an issue with our dishwasher, so had it cleaned, but it was still happening, so tried a different brand, and sure enough, no food and no little white specks. We tried the sunlight again to be sure, and there were the specks again. We will not be wasting our money on these again.
I really enjoy the convenience of the pods. So easy to just throw in, and not worry about much else. The smell stays true and does last for a bit.
I do find it sure doesn't create much suds and soap. Sometimes that worries me, depending on the loads "soiled" ness i will put two in... Just in case.
These are ok. I don't smell the lemon scent at all, which is unfortunate. The clean dishes fine but with glass and cups, it's as though I never washed them.
When you put the pack in the dishwasher make sure the detergent dispenser is 100% dry or the detergent will not come out during the wash cycle. If you throw it in the bottom of the dishwasher then it gets dissolved during the prewash cycle. I found i have to break the package open and put the powder into the dispenser.
When i used them in the dishwasher, each time they would melt in the soap dispenser, which meant it didn't disperse properly. I had to put the dishwasher on three times for everything to finally be gone and the dishes to be cleaned.
While I would support this product in being effective in cleaning and priced at a great price; the yellow dye in the pack seems to turn the inside of the dishwasher yellow. Not something I would recommend for anyone to use. Try another brand and avoid the strong yellow dye.
I find this leaves particles on dishes and grime in the dishwasher. Have to pre-rinse everything and still not that effective
