Dissapointing performance – I use a single draw dishwasher so I am hardly stressing the performance required of this product. I purchased it to try as a replacement for a lower cost Finish product that doesn't have the "magic" red ball in the middle as I naively thought that I must be missing out on performance. When I bought them I didn't realise that this new tablet is MUCH smaller than the traditional ones. The claim on the box is "smaller tablet same performance". I'm afraid the results prove otherwise. This is a classic example of "shrinkflation" with the smaller product not containing enough cleaning agent to do the job. Shame on you Finish. I won't be buying this product again
Purchased in for $28.
Cost of living crisis hits - downsized tablets?!! – I'm familiar with most of the finish dishwasher products and often use powerball (or classic, not liking the smell let behind by the quantum product). What is with the downsized product now? There was barely enough detergents on the older larger tablets before this midget tablet has come out. This is evidenced by the build up on the inner surfaces and filters in the dishwasher and even the 'normal' tablets sometimes had to be supplemented additionally to get a reasonable clean.
I run the 14 place dishwasher full with normal tablets to save on water/number of cycles/power and frequently there is still soiling which I clean by hand.
Now these new tablets are about 2/3rds size and they just don't cut the cleaning task in hand - wouldn't have bought them if I noticed the reduced picture on the box.
If you're pushing these small tablets, then at least make them so you can fit 2 tablets side by side in the dispenser - plenty of space for that - volume isn't the issue, just shape
Disappointed - now I've got to try and use up 120 hard to use tablets
Purchased in at Big W for $34.

Terrible - don't waste your money – These are the most useless dishwasher tablets we have ever used. They do not clean effectively and we either have to rewash items by hand or rinse everything before using the dishwasher. Don't believe the advertising hype. The packaging says "Save Water No Pre-Rinse Needed" - rubbish these are the only tablets where we've needed to pre-rinse. The tablets are individually wrapped in plastic - terrible for the environment. Unfortunately I bought two large packs where they were on special - I can't wait to switch back to our regular Earth Choice tablets. I wouldn't use these Finish tablets again if they were giving them away for free.

false advertising – As you can read on the side of this product? It says no unwrapping just insert tablet into the dishwasher. This is false advertising as you definitely need to unwrap this product.
Purchased in at Costco for $43.89.
