Cascade ActionPacs Dishwasher Detergent Packaging Reviews Summary

Cleaning Performance

Pros:

• "Our dishes, glasses, and silverware come out cleaner than other competitors products."
• "Works great on dishes and the washer. It prevents mineral build up inside the washer."
• "It removes the stuck on food from all dishes. Rarely do we open the dishwasher to any dirty dishes."
• "I live in a house with very hard water. Since starting to use this product 3 years we've had no issues with build up."
• "Glasses come out spotless. We do rinse our dishes so it's hard to tell if this scrubs off any food but everything always comes out clean and shiny."
• "They are PERFECT! I haven't used Finish tabs since. First of all, there is 0 film. Secondly, they clean EVERYTHING."
• "They work well, better than any other dishwasher detergent or pods I have tried before."
• "I used to have a subscribe and save set up for Finish tabs and found myself rewashing items, or polishing things that shouldn't have needed polishing."

Cons:

• "These arrived all stuck together so the majority of them are unusable."
• "I was using these all the time but our dishes were being left with a soapy taste."
• "However, I've noticed that my 1/2 sheet pan, as well as the liner for my Crockpot (and some other appliances) are showing pitting after 1 trip on regular wash."
• "They put a 12 pack of ice drink in with the cascade and damaged the plastic top of the container to where it was not useable."
• "Generally, I have thought this was fine. However, I've noticed that my 1/2 sheet pan, as well as the liner for my Crockpot (and some other appliances) are showing pitting after 1 trip on regular wash."
• "I’ll admit that I’ve been using these for a while because they are so convenient and, let’s face it, they work. But I learned today that they are not the biodegradable material I thought they were, but a micro plastic that is so bad for my family’s health and the environment."
• "We have been using the Cascade pods for quite a few years. Why? Because of the convenience. HOWEVER...what I have learned and what I hope everyone who reads this review learns is that these pods, while admittedly convenient, are in fact not good for your dishes...especially your glassware."
• "The package arrived in a timely manner however the packagebox had cracks anda whole in the bottom and this product is sensitve to moisture."

Environmental Impact

Pros:

• "This brand and pods has been our go to. However, the plastic tub it comes in is not recyclable."

Cons:

• "I’ll admit that I’ve been using these for a while because they are so convenient and, let’s face it, they work. But I learned today that they are not the biodegradable material I thought they were, but a micro plastic that is so bad for my family’s health and the environment."
• "This brand and pods has been our go to. However, the plastic tub it comes in is not recyclable. I'm picturing at least 12 of these in a pile somewhere, since we go thru at least one a month. That's a big pile."

Convenience and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "IT IS A TRUSTWORTHY PRODUCT---MY DISHES ARE CLEANER AND MY GLASSWARE IS SPOTLESS. IT IS A TAB THAT YOU PUT IN THE DISPENSER AND THAT'S IT!"
• "Cascade is undoubtedly a great product, but the Platinum label takes it to a whole new level of phenomenal."
• "I have a Maytag dishwasher and I bought these when i learned that Maytag recommends Cascade."
• "So easy and clean to use. I used to use powder or gel, but really can see a much cleaner and shinier result with these pods."
• "I have a countertop dishwasher as I live in a rental home and cannot add appliances. Maybe they work so brilliantly because it's basically half of a dishwasher and are designed for full dishwashers, but my dishes come out brilliantly."
• "I didn't know I could love a dish washer pod, but I do. These things get my dishes sparkling clean. One pod per wash means there is no waste in the bottom of the bottle."

Cons:

• "These arrived all stuck together so the majority of them are unusable."
• "They put a 12 pack of ice drink in with the cascade and damaged the plastic top of the container to where it was not useable."
• "The package arrived in a timely manner however the packagebox had cracks anda whole in the bottom and this product is sensitve to moisture."
• "this tablet does not dissolve in the water at all --- I have been using it for one week now and every time I use it it is only half dissolved and half is still stuck to the dishwasher."
