Q: Do these have a clear wrapper on them? The kind that you leave on when you put in the dishwasher?
submitted by J Libby - 1 year ago
A: Each tab is Individually wrapped in plastic which you have to remove prior to use & they failed to mention, sigh. The reason I bought them was to reduce plastic, there is no PVOH on them for the tabs
submitted byShawn - 2 months agoA: Thanks for reaching out. Finish Classic Tabs do not have a water soluble wrapper.

Q: Are these in the foil packages. I do NOT want the dissolving packages and both questions here have different answers
submitted by Whocares - 10 months ago
A: Thank you for reaching out. The Finish Classic Dishwasher Detergents are hard pressed tablets in PVOH and does not wrap in foil. We hope that this information helps! Sincerely, Your Finish Team.

Q: What kind of wrapper is on each pod? Looking for the wrappers that are not shrink-wrapper.
submitted by Windy - 1 year ago
A: Thanks for reaching out. It is made of PVOH (Polyvinyl alcohol ) that is water soluble and designed to release their contents when they come in contact with water.
submitted byFinish Team - 1 year agoBrand expert
Q: Do they have an expiration date? If I order several containers and don't open them how long will they be good?

Q: The descripton says "wrapper free". In contradiction, a user says these tablets have "thin clear wrappers" that you say are water soluble. So which is it? Can't be both!!!
submitted by don - 2 years ago
A: Thank you for reaching out to our Finish Powerball Classic. The "wrapper-free" states the wrapping or individual packaging of this product, and the "thin clear wrapper" indicates the PVOH film. This film is a protective water-soluble wrapping. We hope that this information helps! Sincerely, Your Finish Team.
submitted byFinish Team - 2 years agoBrand expert
Q: Why is the red ball so much larger than it was? How will I fit these into my detergent compartment?
submitted by Lulu - 2 years ago
A: Thanks for reaching out! If the tabs are not fitting your dispensing cup, we recommend trying our Finish Quantum Tabs which have a water soluble coating, and are not a pressed tab. You can also contact your dishwasher manufacturer to ask for recommendation on placement and fit on dish tabs in the dispensing cup.
submitted byFinish Team - 2 years agoBrand expert
Q: There are thin clear wrappers on the tablets. Do they need to be removed or do they dissolve?
submitted by LenniePaz - 2 years ago
A: These tabs are easy-to-use, wrapper free and pre-measured dishwasher capsules. There is nothing to remove prior to adding to the dishwasher. The thin clear wrapper you are referencing is a water soluble wrapper found on our Quantum dish tabs, which do not need to be removed.

TiredMama - 4 days ago, Verified purchaser
I like that it’s not the thick plastic to be dissolved or down the drain like traditional pods. This brand is recommended for Bosch and European brands of dishwashers. Occasionally the red ball isn’t present but I don’t think it’s different from the regular so I don’t really care. Works well. I wish it was sold in my store.

I used Finish tablets for years before they became unavailable. "What's the harm?" I thought to myself when deciding to purchase these. Plenty as it turned out!!!! My kitchen, my hands, my dishwasher and my dishes and glassware REEK of a fake citrus chemical odor. My hand is breaking out where I touched it. I am now on the second rinse cycle trying to get rid of the stench.

Powerful, irritating odor

I have been a happy user of the “classic” tablets for many years. Now they are very hard to buy. I bough these instead, and I’ve been appalled by the heavy scent that’s been added. Even when I open the container, there’s a waft of weird, chemical smelling. “Citrus.” I decided to use tongs to avoid skin irritation and thought it would be ok. Now that I’ve used them, I find that I have to use an extra rinse cycle to get the horrible odor out of my dishes, particularly plastic storage containers and cutting boards.

Use Ultimate or Quantum only. This does not dissolve well. Leaves soap caked in the dispenser and the plastic pod balled up in the dishwasher. NEVER had this problem with Quantum or Ultimate. Will clean dishes for you but then you have to clean up all the residue from the dishwasher.

Have used finish for many , many years. Enjoyed the hard cubes with power ball. Our local grocery now carries this quantum with power all has ruined all of my plastic storage lids and cups. I’ve tried everything but they all taste like soap now . I’m going to have to repurchase hundreds of dollars in Pyrex and coffee go mugs. Disappointed and sad to lose some of my favorite things.

Product is not great. It leaves a white film on my pans and bowls no matter what settings I employ on my dishwasher. I've done hot, not hot, long, short, rinse cycle, dry cycle and ever other combination possible and it still leaves a thick white detergent film on my dishes. Will not be buying again and strongly recommend others to avoid this product.
Too much scent!

I have been using Finish since I purchased dishwasher 12 years ago. (Manufacturer recommended it!) There must have been a recent change to the formula because now everything comes out smelling and tasting like soap. I had been happy with product up until now however I am searching for another brand.

what happend to the original Finish Power?

Aspen - 8 months ago
originally posted on Finish
I have used the original Finish power tablets, individually wrapped in the foil wrap for 11 years. Apparently they are no longer manufactured. This new version in the dissolvable plastic is garbage. Sometimes they dissolve, sometimes they don't. It is NOT my dishwasher, I keep the filters clean, the water temperature is where it should be. This is a product failure issue. It seems that all the brands have moved to plastic encased soap tablets, so I will be switching to old school powder. I will not be contributing to the micro plastic debris in our water system if I can help it.

What have you done to my favorite dishwasher pods?!? I’ve used these faithfully for 8 years and now I can’t stand the smell. It clings to everything: plastic, glass, porcelain, and metal and everything smells and tastes “like perfume”. Opening my cabinets makes me feel like I’m in a flower shop and is ruining the cooking experience. My family won’t drink water from glasses anymore because it “tastes like perfume”. I can’t get rid of it. Please reduce the current scent or bring back the original fragrance.

Micro Plastics

I ordered these last week thinking they were wrapped in foil like my last batch, but each tablet is plastic wrapped. I did a bit of research and found that the plastic wraps dissolve in the dishwasherand end up as micro plastics that adbversely affect the water supply. Thus, I will be returning them tomorrow and seeking an alternative.

You changed the classic tabs to these gel plastic things like Cascade now and they don’t dissolve all the way. I found a little undissolved plastic ball in the soap compartment this time and immediately threw them all away. I have switched to liquid until I find something better. Please bring the hard tabs back! And without the plastic covers.

I accidentally bought Finish cubes for my dishwasher. My husband complained to me what a poor job they do and how he missed Cascade. Cascade cleans everything to a sparkly finish. With cascade, I have to reclean the dished and untensil's when they come out. Dishwashing cubes are pricey and it really bothers me it doesn't do the job

I bought this product as I have used it many times before. Noticed that the tablets were smaller and missing the red dot. Won’t be buying this changed product again, everything that I take out of the dishwasher has a coating on it which makes it not feel clean, I still have about 100 of these tablets to use but every time I open my dishwasher after use I am dissatisfied and have to put some items back in.
