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.

Tabs Stick Together
Would Not RecommendAll my tabs dissolve and stick together in the bag. Have to cut and tear them apart to separate for use. Very annoying.

Hi, we're disappointed to learn about your experience. It is possible that moisture got into the bag, which could cause the tablets to stick together....
The Best!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finish Power Detergent Tabs are the best! The individually wrapped tab has a premeasured dose of detergent, which makes it easy to use. You don’t need to pre-rinse your dishes, the cleaners cut through grease and dried in food. The rinse agent helps wash away residues for spot-free dishes. I highly recommend!

Very strong smell permeates dishes
Would Not RecommendI usually use the Quantum packs which I love but I messed up and ordered the wrong ones. These smell way too strong, and I can actually taste the fragrance in my food when I use stoneware dishes. It’s very unsettling. Never had this issue with the quantum packs

Works effectively
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finish power dishwashing tablets works very well for our dish washer. I like the packaging of these tabs, its convenient to use. Before starting the dishwasher, I just put 1 tab in it, without any pre-rinsing liquid. 1 tab is enough to clean all the dishes, even the pots in which I make curry, comes out clean after drying. I like how one tab does the work of pre-rinse liquid as well as of dish detergent. I use it everyday and really impressed w...

awful smell
Would Not RecommendI have loved the usual finish powerball product, the ones you unwrap, for years, but this version has a really strong and unpleasant chemical scent that permeates the kitchen and gives me a headache. Why use such large amounts of perfume?

Great Product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] like how they come individually wrapped so that they do not melt or morph into each other. Only downside is that it is compressed powder, and starts to disolve in your hand. Other than that, great price and easy to use!

Work well
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finish powerball classic dishwasher tabs have always been my go-to tab. They work really well and leave my dishes looking cleaning and spotless. This tabs are incredibly easy to use, just throw them in their spot in your dishwasher and you are ready to go! No having to pour anything in!

Powerful
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely powerful and works great clears even the toughest mess. Safe on the dishwasher doesn't leave residue or white streaks on the dishes. Leaves the dishes cleaner and whiter. The pods make it easy to use and no leave no mess.

Great Clean
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these cleaning tablets. They make my life so much easier because I can just throw one into my dishwasher and run it without having to worry about my dishes not being cleaned properly. It is super convenient.

Leaves a film and soap in the dishwasher
Would Not RecommendI bought these because I've always used Finish products and been pleased. I don't know what the deal is with these, but compared to the solid powder ones they are trash. Half the time I open my dishwasher after a regular cycle and there's blue soap visible and anything close to the little dispenser thing is covered in a film. I thought maybe it was user error at first but I have tried so many angles and directions to put the tab in - same problem. They are getting tossed today.
From Finish
Hi, we're sorry to hear the tab isn't dissolving properly. If the tab is mostly undissolved after the cycle it is possible that a large item is blocki...
Agree, the fragrance is too strong
Would Not RecommendI came here to write essentially the same 'smell is too strong' review, and want to add that it's primarily an issue with plastic items - the scent adheres to plastic, not so much to porcelain and metal. My wife purchased these (106 count though that we will have to throw away) without realizing they were different. Please don't stop making what is now called 'classic', it is still the best.

Get rid of the film
Would Not RecommendDislike that these are covered in a film. It ruins dishwashers. The film does not dissolve properly and overtime damages the machine.

Finish classic
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always use finish in my dishwasher. My dishes always come out clean and there's is never any left over residue. With other brands I would always have powder dried to my dishes. But not with finish. It's my go to brand.
From Finish
Easy to use and works great!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tabs leave my dishes looking clean and shiny without any water spots! Each tab is wrapper free and measured for one full load, so these are really easy to use as well! You don’t need to pre-treat your dishes with a soak or rinse, and the scent is fresh and fragrant. Overall, I’m very happy with how well they clean my dishes, and I recommend trying them out. They are a great time saver!
From Finish
Works well
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These do a great job of cleaning dishes and glassware without leaving any water spots. I definitely think they clean my wine glasses better than other dish detergents I have tried. I do feel like I need to still do a bit more rinsing with these.
From Finish
Smell is way to strong
Would Not RecommendIt would be great if the dishes wouldn't smell like dish soap after it's done. Have to re-rinse everything. Loved the basic tabs.

Works okay
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The one thing I do like about these is they are easy to use. Just drop a pod into your dishwasher and your ready to go. They seem to leave the dishes clean enough but it definitely requires prewashing/rinsing them first. They do leave spots on clear glasses too.

works
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These do the job they are made to do. The only thing I was worried about when I tried them was leftover residue from the pressed powder in the dishwasher. There was none of that. I was happy with this product.
From Finish
No issues with smudging or streaks
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I trust finish on some of my nicer glasses as it is gentle, but also trust it with our casserole pans as it gets the job done! No streaks or residue leftover and I have never “tasted” the soap like I have with other brands. It doesn’t leave my glass feeling gritty or like there is a film over it. I am impressed and also love the safety/ease of the bag.
