Great Value Original Dishwasher Pacs, Fresh Scent, 115 Count

I was a latecomer to using the dishwasher pods. I used the dishwasher powder that comes in a box and thought if it ain't broke don't fix it. However, I would never go back to using the powder after I've used the pods. They're so much handier to use. No more powder spills. and they work perfectly. We are those people who practically wash our dishes before we put them in the dishwasher, so I can't really say how thorough they would be in cleaning more challenging jobs. The great value pods are very reasonable in price when purchased in the large container and they are well worth a it.

I tried cascade dishwasher pods I have tried finish pods they both left glasses cloudy water spots. I decided to try great value brand and was amazed at how well. they worked. Anyone that uses a dishwasher should give these a try.

I bought this 115 count box of dishwasher pacs because I run my dishwasher just about every day. Big family, lots of dishes, and I was tired of buying the expensive name brand stuff that costs twice as much for half the amount. The Great Value version seemed worth a shot. The first thing I noticed when I opened the box is the smell. It's a very strong fresh scent, kind of a lemon laundry detergent type of smell, not a subtle clean scent. My whole kitchen smelled like it for a few minutes after I pulled out a pac. The pacs themselves are individually wrapped in a dissolvable film and they feel mostly dry to the touch, not sticky or crumbly. In the dishwasher, these work fine for everyday loads. I put in a full load of plates, bowls, glasses, and silverware with some dried on pasta sauce and oatmeal residue. Everything came out clean without any scrubbing needed beforehand. The glasses were clear and spot free, the plates didn't have any film, and even the forks with stuck on cheese came out looking good. Here's what surprised me. The fresh scent doesn't rinse away completely. My glasses and plastic containers came out of the dishwasher smelling like the pac. Not a bad smell necessarily, but I could taste it slightly when I drank water from a freshly washed glass. I ran a rinse cycle with just water and that helped a little but didn't totally fix it. If you're sensitive to fragrances, this might bother you. The 115 count box is huge and takes up a lot of cabinet space. The pacs stay fresh in the bag inside the box but I keep it sealed with a rubber band just in case. I'm hoping these pacs don't lose their cleaning power halfway through the box. Some generic dishwasher products seem to work great for the first month then get weird. So far after a couple of weeks, still cleaning fine. Good for anyone who wants clean dishes on a budget. Just be ready for the fragrance to stick around.

I have previously used this product and like it. The reason I bought it online was to meet the minimum purchase price of my whitening strips in order to avoid paying shipping fee fees.

Great Value Original Dishwasher Pacs are an amazing value. They wash dishes as well or better than the more expensive brands.

I like them becuz they're easy to use and dont have the strong perfume of the other kind with blue in them.

These affordable dishwasher pods are a solid pick for most households. They're not perfect, but for the cost, they deliver some of the best value you can find.

These clean well not excellent but really well especially for the price. Compared to name brands they are just as good in my opinion. Yeah there is sometimes water marks and left on spots, really depends on how big the load is and how you load the dishwasher. And. That is the same with name brands.

This was a good value, switch on and off with other brands so not sure if they if these work better than others. I think they are all about the same in my opinion. I would buy them again.

This item is a hit a miss so the only thing I do not like about this item is it does leave residue so it's best to get a proper spot cleaner to put into your dishwasher but it is a great value for how many pods you get it's 115
