Works well, no issues – These fresheners are really only useful if you actually (and properly) descale and clean your dishwasher once per month using a proper dishwasher/washing machine descaler product. When combined with a proper cleaning cycle, these fresheners work quite well. Our dishwasher has a very neutral smell because of them. I've never noticed any taste on… Read more

the dishes or utensils, which some reviewers have identified as an issue. If you just use these by themselves and expect a 100% fresh dishwasher, then good luck! However combined with a proper and regular 30 day cleaning cycle, these are very useful and I believe they are worth the cost.

WTH is this product – Yes the dishwasher smells better than normal but it leaves your dishes smell heavily chemical and makes everything taste bad using the dishes you washed in it!!! This is a copy and paste of what is written about this product on Coles website. It claims to not leave a strong fragrance on your dishes: "Finish Dishwasher Freshener gives your… Read more

Horrible, Never BUY! – First wash, i open the door and I smell this awful chemical lemon smell it was so strong it almost made me vomit i kid you not. After that I take out the dishes and put them away, When I went to go get a drink from one of the just washed glasses I can taste this horrible chemical taste on it. How do I know the Dishwasher freshener was the culprit?… Read more

Well after that was I take it out and my dishwasher returns to normal, What a bloody joke, Dont ever buy this wasteful crap

Great product really made a difference – We had a bad smell from our dishwasher and after using Finish Dishwasher Freshener, the odour was gone and now has a fresh lemon smell. Really impressed me and the kids. Show details

Smells nice, tastes bad – No, I am not licking it. The taste has attached to my dishes. One bottle I cleaned twice and could still taste it. I would rather a bad smelling dishwasher.

Dishwasher Freshener? Seriously? – The fact that a product like this exists is just a joke and its even more ridiculous that people actually buy these types of products. This is a very useless product, it just makes your dishwasher smell nicer, I could understand if every dishwasher smelt revolting but my dishwasher only smells bad when there are dishes that haven't been washed are… Read more

sitting in it, otherwise after a wash it smells fine. Would not recommend, very useless product....

It's ok – These things are ok for the price. Does it leave a smell? Yes? Is the smell nauseating? At first yes. Does it make your dishwasher small nice? Sure. But for us do we need it was the question. We pre rinse nearly everything and run at least one load everyday so the "stains" don't really stick. Consequently, our dishwasher has always been clean and… Read more

never had that "drain" smell finish love touting in their ads. If you have a stinky dishwasher these can help if not and you don't like smells on dishes or are sensitive to such smells then give it a miss

Smells good and so does your plastics – This does neutralises odour of your dishwasher no doubt about it. However, this product leaves your plastics smelling of it too and so does your food smells when heated in those plastics. Mind you all that I am talking about only dishwasher safe plastics. Above all the packaging is terrible for this overly priced product and does not last… Read more

long. I think it is more expensive than Armani or Chanel perfumes. The plastic pops open and the pouch falls off.

I switched to select brand, the fragrance is subtle and at least your containers and food don't smell of it. Even this one doesn't last long but it is cheaper so no complaints.

As for this product I will strongly recommend against it.

Finish Dishwasher Freshener – I only wish I could find where to buy this product in the USA. I live in Southern California. I have been using this product since I visited a friend in Australia that used it in 2001. Her entire kitchen smelled fresh of lemons everytime I walked into it. I asked her about her air freshener and she told me it was this Finish Dishwasher Freshener.… Read more

I had to have it. Now my friend has to send it to me in the mail. I can't live without it!!!! It's wonderful. Faithful user.. Affordable, smells great! Wish you still made the Lemon only scent. Lemon Lime is not as good but it works. Really only lasts about 30 washings.

Perfect for stinky dishwashers – If anyone is like me and hates the smell of dishwashers, whether it being a smelly odour through to those that smell like harsh dish washing chemicals then I definitely recommend Finish dishwasher freshener. We have tried so many products and have found this one truly works. It is super easy to install, just clip on to the dishwasher rack and… Read more ·  3

leave it to work. It is not only an odour stopper but a neutraliser too. It comes in a lemon and lime fragrance and each time you open the dishwasher it gives a fantastic lemon aroma. Not only did it improve the odour in the dishwasher it also leaves our glassware crystal clear and smelling fresh. Available at all good supermarkets. Reasonable price. Leaves your dishwasher smelling like fresh lemons. Fantastic neutraliser. Easy to install.
