Cascade Complete ActionPacs Dishwasher Detergent Reviews Summary

Dissolution and Cleaning Efficacy

Pros:

• "After the first wash I was hooked. Finally, clean dishes!"
• "I love these pods so much! My dishes come out clean pretty much every time now with no residue."
• "I purchased these dishwasher pods... they fully dissolve and leave my dishes sterilized, shiny, and clean."
• "I switched to these pods from the Finish Tabs and I really like how well they clean!"

Cons:

• "This batch of pods will not completely dissolve unless you cut open the white section."
• "Sometimes I open up the dishwasher and the pod is still sitting there half melted."
• "The pods don't always dissolve all the way, which is irritating."
• "The latest 2 sets of these stick in the dispenser."

Scent and Chemical Residue

Pros:

• "This brand is the only one that I use because it does not leave the dishes with strong smell and it cleans well enough."
• "They have a clean smell when opening the dishwasher but it’s not so strong that it makes the dishes smell."

Cons:

• "But they left the strongest chemical smell on our dishes every time, and I cannot justify poisoning my family because of the low cost."
• "This really cleans well, but it leaves a strong scent on my dishes, especially plastic or silicone."
• "But the Cascade leave a very strong chemical/soapy smell - and worse, a strong taste!"

Value and Cost-Effectiveness

Pros:

• "I can give these a five star rating and highly recommend them to all."
• "I purchased these by mistake and it's turned out to be a happy mistake for sure."

Cons:

• "You don't need to second guess yourself and bother with rewashing a load of dishes - with Cascade you can be pretty confident 95% of the time all the dishes come our clean. Would be nice if it wasn't so expensive."
• "These packets are quick and easy to use, but expensive in comparison to cheaper powder detergent that cleans just as well."

Packaging and Convenience

Pros:

• "I'm efficient. I use these for small or large loads. At night I pop in a pod, set the cycle and start."
• "Easy to use (just pop one of these into the washer and seeing the latch shut over it - I don't know if it matters but I always place it with the colors up)."

Cons:

• "Product was delivered inside of a larger box. The detergent container was cracked, and it appears some of contents is missing."
• "They are consistently melted together like 10 of them stuck by the plastic and when you try to separate them the liquid part goes everywhere."
