What Customers Are Saying
The product is praised for its excellent cleaning power, effectively removing even tough baked-on food and grease without the need for pre-rinsing. Customers highlight the convenience of the tablets and their ability to leave dishes sparkling clean. However, some customers have reported issues with the newer product formulation, such as an overpowering fragrance, incomplete dissolution, and a soapy taste on dishes. Many loyal customers express a preference for the original Classic formula.

Would Not RecommendI accidentally bought Finish cubes for my dishwasher. My husband complained to me what a poor job they do and how he missed Cascade. Cascade cleans everything to a sparkly finish. With cascade, I have to reclean the dished and untensil's when they come out. Dishwashing cubes are pricey and it really bothers me it doesn't do the job

Finish classic , 110 tabs , smaller tab , same per
Would Not RecommendI bought this product as I have used it many times before. Noticed that the tablets were smaller and missing the red dot. Won’t be buying this changed product again, everything that I take out of the dishwasher has a coating on it which makes it not feel clean, I still have about 100 of these tablets to use but every time I open my dishwasher after use I am dissatisfied and have to put some items back in.

Bring back the old reliable classic SOLID tabs
Would Not RecommendI hate the ‘new and improved’ finish dishwasher gel type tabs with the water soluble wrapper. The wrapper often doesnt fully dissolve and leaves plastic-like gunk hanging in the soap dispenser along with partially dissolved finish. The solid tabs were the best. When the dishwasher reservoir would open the whole thing would immediately fall from the reservoir. Bing bang boom. Job done.

Tablets sticking together
Would Not RecommendI have been using these for year,but over the last three or four months the tablets are all stuck together when I open the package. Please check your quality control on these. I may need to start using another brand

Bring back finish classic
Would Not RecommendFinish classic had negligible scent- I loved it my dishes did not come out smelling like perfume. The new finish detergents leave a STRONG perfume smell which is NOT something anyone would want on dishes. I can no longer find finish classic, so I will have to switch detergent brands which is a shame. I can't stand your other PERFUMED detergents.

I agree with Cling Wrap Guy!
Would Not RecommendThese new tabs are horrible! They DO NOT dissolve and half is hanging out of the dispenser when cycle ends! I used the "blocks" forever. Now this - same thing...same dishwasher, same dishes, same water temperature - lots of hard earned money down the drain.

Soap taste
Would Not RecommendI have been using the rectangle powerball with the red circle for a while. I would go out of my way to bring some home. It was perfect because all the others would either not dissolve of they would make our Tupperware lids taste like soap. The new powerball liquid tabs are just like the others now. My silicone and plastic lids all taste like soap. All of our leftovers taste like soap. Hundreds of dollars literally down the drain. Please don’t reply with you telling me my water temperature is too...

Is this false advertising? Not the same as orig.
Would Not RecommendThis product is more recent to market and is the gel covered packs, not the original classic packs, and yet they have the SAME EXACT rating, number of reviews, and if you take the time to read them, the SAME reviews. Personally I don't want the gel packs in my dishwasher as I find they generally leave residue (yes proper temp and water hardness) and are putting things in the water supply I would rather not have there. Additionally, I find they stick together when left in more humid condi...

Great product
Would RecommendWe use either this or the Quantum or Power. They are all great products. Really clean the dishes. Do not buy the Gel Pacs (orange).

Where to keep purchasing???
Been using this product (Finish Powerball Classic) for 15+ years and have been having a terrible time finding this specific line in store. Is this discontinued? This has worked perfectly in my household and so disappointed I cannot find it. I only have a few pods left.

STRONG FRAGRANCE/TASTE POWERBALL ULTIMATE
Would Not RecommendSHOCKED TO NOTE OTHER REVIEWS WITH SAME CONCERNS. WATER BOTTLE/TOP STRONG SMELL AND TASTE. I'VE BEEN USING FINISH FOR MANY YEARS. THIS IS MY FIRST PURCHASE OF 38 TABS OF ULTIMATE. I'm an RN and very concerned about the safety of this product on my dishwater and especially water bottles.

Love them, but why are they hard to find?
Would RecommendI have been using the Classic Finish Powerballs for years and love them. Clean dishes every time, and I don't notice a scent at all. But recently I am having a hard time finding them. The stores all have the gel packs. Those never seem to fully dissolve in my dishwasher-I find half of them stuck in the detergent holder as a wet gooey mess. Please continue to make the Classics and sell them everywhere!

Undisloving tabs
Hi, im sorry to inform you that everytime i use your all in one tabs, they dont disolve in the washing mashine. This is fourth time, and nothing is blocking its way from opening and the water temeperature is fine. Also have beco maschine. This is really not profesional especially because these tabs are really expensive.

Finish Classic Dishwasher Tablets Missing
Would RecommendI absolutely prefer Finish Classic Dishwasher Tablets. My dishes are clean, without the horrendous, strong scent of the other Finish dishwasher products. However, I have been unable to find this product at any local stores! I sincerely hope that the CLASSIC is not discontinued!

Soapy taste lingers
Would Not RecommendWe switched from Finish Platinum to Finish Power and immediately noticed a difference: now, all of my dishes come out of the dishwasher with a strong soap taste. They are clean, but the scent lingers, especially in cups and in silicon kitchen implements. Some of my kitchen tongs are ruined now because the soap taste doesn't wash out and transfers to the food I cook.

awful
I have used this since 2022. It has built up a calcium deposit in my dishwasher and clogged the draining plus the filter. I have replaced the filter and am having service come out to see if the issue can be fixed. This is awful stuff. DO NOT USE IT.

Overpowering scent
Would Not RecommendThese tablets are powerfully scented and it lingers on dishes and glassware many hours after a 2.5 hour dishwasher hot cycle. I just threw out many because the scent is overpowering. I’m very disappointed in this product. I paid a lot for these dishwasher tablets.

My dishwashing go-to
Would RecommendHad these recommended to me by a dishwasher technician several years ago and so far have no reason to ever use anything else again. These tablets don't accumulate scummy buildup in your dishwasher like gels do and thus alleviate any degradation of the door gasket's integrity. I also like that the largest quantity comes loose in a recyclable tub without individual plastic wrappers that can only be trashed. I don't find them to have any scent, which is perfect for my sensitive nose. With a properl...

Perfumed dishes?
Would Not RecommendI've been using Finish Classic and have been satisfied with the product. While it has a mildly soapy fragrance, that does not linger after the dishwasher has run. My store was out of them, and I purchased Finish Powerball Power instead. The heavy perfume scent was overwhelming when I opened the package. With a houseful of holiday guests, I had to run the full dishwasher, using the product. The odor persisted after the wash cycle. My dishes and utensils retained the odor! I have a Bosch ...
