What Customers Are Saying
The dishwasher tablets are effective at removing tough, baked-on and greasy messes without the need for pre-rinsing. The individually wrapped tablets are convenient and dissolve fully. However, some customers have reported issues with the newer formula, including an overpowering fragrance and problems with the tablets sticking together and not fully dissolving. There are also concerns about potential damage to dishwasher components and dishes.

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.

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.

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.

Hi, we're disappointed to hear about your experience using Finish Powerball Tabs. We recommend you try our Finish 0% Tabs. It has less fragrance and d...
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.
From Finish
cleaned out even really tough stains
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dishes came out so clean. I'm very impressed with how well these dishwasher tablets cleaned out even really tough stains and grease. There weren't even any leftover stains, residue, or even any lingering food odors.
From Finish
Love
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great stuff. It makes my dishes really clean. It’s really easy to use and you just put it in the dishwasher. I have noticed a difference in my dishes in the way they look when I get out of the dishwasher.

Cleans great!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an older model dish washer so I definitely need a good dish washer detergent. I am very happy with the results of the finish power. My of my dishes and glassware came out nice and clean with zero residue!

Super clean
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using these! They are convenient, and I always get the right amount. Dishes come out nice and clean, does not leave any residue. I toss them into the bottom of my dishwasher and it works great!
From Finish

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best brand in my opinion. Gets dishes extremely clean. I wouldn't buy another brand this is absolutely the best on the market. If you haven't tried this product you are definitely missing out.

Works Amazing!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do dishes daily, so it is important to have a dishwasher detergent that works well. Finish works amazing. My dishes are always clean and does not leave spots on the glass. Easy to use. Works amazing!

Reliably Clean
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are pretty much my favorite dish washing pods. They are easy to pop into the washer and perform reliably getting all the dishes nice and clean. I actually like that these are not individually packaged so you don't waste additional plastic each time you need one. Would definitely recommend as a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable dishwasher pod option.
