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 RecommendI got a sample included with my bosch dishwasher. At that time they were called max-in-one. Best clean without residual in dishes. Smell not too strong. Better than power in my opinion.

Great dishwasher tablets!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Finish dishwasher tablets work very well! My dishes come out sparkling clean and they also help tackle stuck on foods in my experience. They're easy to use and I appreciate that they're wrapper free for less waste.

The awful smell on our plastic ware!
Would Not RecommendWe used the Power packets for a few days and while they cleaned the dishes well they left an oder (not a fragrance, an oder) on our plasticware and in the dishwasher. It smelled like deodorant. We had to soak the plasticware in a baking soda to get rid of the smell! I can’t in good conscience even give the remaining tabs away because I wouldn’t wish the smell on anyone! I do NOT recommend these at all!

Purchased the finish Power by mistake
Would Not RecommendPurchased the finish Power by mistake as we usually use finish Quantum. While the dishes look as clean as before, the lingering odor of the porduct even after an extra rinse is not acceptable in our household.

Finish Dishwasher tabs
The seal on the plastic bag comes away from one side which means the bag cannot be closed and makes it easy for young children to access The product is fine but does it deteriorate because it is now not in a sealed bag

Fragrance too strong!
Would Not RecommendI'm so relieved to see these other reviews about the super strong and very annoying scent of this detergent. I have never had to return a dishwashing detergent because of the scent. My $50 hydroflask water bottle parts are almost ruined because it's been permeated by the fragrance from the detergent. My silicone spatula now permeated with fragrance makes my food smell like detergent!!

Does not clean even lightly soild dishes
Would Not RecommendI have used this numerous times in the past and it always cleaned well. I have not had a dishwasher for a couple years but have one now and bought this product again. Three times using it and the dishes still have stuck on dirt. Some of the dishes didn't get clean, the others that looked clean when loaded now have food debris stuck to them. Simple items like a smear of mustard or catsup don't even come off. I have had to run the washer a 2nd time to get them clean. I have found the store b...

The scent lingers on plastic and transfers to food
Would Not RecommendI use plastic cutting boards so I can put them in the dishwasher to clean them. The scent remains on the plastic, and transfers to the food I cut on the plastic cutting boards (like chicken or cheese).

Cleans well and not messy to use
Would RecommendThe plastic-like covering dissolves well in washer without getting stuck together in container. Cleans well. I will buy these as long as they are available and after experiencing the new “power” variety, will have to find a different brand if the classic is discontinued.

Product Works but Packaging has become unusable
Would Not RecommendWe have been using this product for a few years. It used to come in a tearable mylar fin seal pouch that was easy to open and drop in the dishwasher. It now comes wrapped in tight fitting plastic. A knife is required to open the packaging and then you get the product all over your fingers which requires me to wash may hands. It's not good.

Terrible- ruined all our tupperware
Would Not RecommendWe liked Finish Classic tablets. So when BJs by us stopped carrying them, and started carrying the pouches of Finish Power, I thought there would be no issue. No one in my house can eat, drink, or cook in anything that has been washed with the Power pouches even once. We have tried to wash everything by hand to save whatever we could. It worked for everything except the plastic and Tupperware. We have to completely replace all of our storage and children’s dishes. DO NOT USE THESE!

Everything tastes like soap now.
Would Not RecommendI’m so frustrated and disappointed. Bought these instead of the usual Quantam packs, now all of the dishes reek of their “fragrance”. I’ve run the dishwasher a second time with no soap in the hopes that the added rinse would remove, or at least dissipate the scent. No such luck. When I open my dishwasher it seriously smells like someone put a gas station air freshener in there, and the worst part is that allllll of the dishes now cause food/drink to taste like that scent. I’m concerned that this...

No great features
Would Not RecommendI started using these in my dishwasher and it left a pink waxy film throughout my filter, which I was unable to remove. I would never recommend this product.

No more spots
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these Finish Classic dishwasher pods. They not only get all of my dishes completely clean but leave them spotless and shiny. No extra wiping or polishing is necessary. So convenient and easy to use too! These are my new go-to pods. Highly recommend!
