Dislike the odor

I purchased the dishwashing tabs, and I must say that it cleans my dishes. However, the scent remains on my dishes, especially my drinking glasses. I can even taste it on my Tupperware glasses. I would think this was perhaps something to do with my dishwasher but no other dishwashing tabs do this. I will not buy this product again because of the scent. I don't need my dishes to have a nice smell - all I want is them to be clean. If the scent is removed, I will consider purchasing them again.

consistently leaves fragrance on plastics, negatively affecting food taste

This product has a serious flaw although it does a perfectly good job with cleaning. I bought a high-end dishwasher that requires this type of detergent and, disliking being told what to do, bought Cascade (have used the powder for many years) instead of the detergent recommended by the manufacturer. Very rapidly, plastic items (eg Rubbermaid lids or water bottles) developed a fragrant odor that profoundly affected the flavor of the food stored in the containers. I found some of my leftovers to be inedible due to the perfumed taste, not to mention that I like my water to taste like water. I bought the recommended detergent and the problem has disappeared. Sorry about that.

Did you change the action pacs??

I have been using Cascade Complete ActionPacs since I first head about them and have LOVED them... until recently, the last 2 or 3 boxes (yes, I buy them by the box) that I purchased had subpar performance. They even look differently than they used to. I gave them another chance again and again and am just not getting the same results as before. What happened?

This product was not what I expected

I bought a bottle of Cascade and thought I was getting a great product. I was so wrong. I know that my water heater is doing it's job and the hot water is really hot. I put in a plate that I drained bacon on and the plate came out exactly like it went in. I could see the imprint of the paper towel I used on the plate when I drained the bacon. If I have to wash the dishes completely before i put them in the dishwasher, then why have one? I do rinse the silverware off but they came out dirty and greasy. I was very disappointed and will not use this product ever again.

New Zealand Scent

I will never buy this product again after my experience with the New Zealand Springs scented action pacs. We used Cascade regularly in the past but this experience was horrible. I have thrown away countless plastic storage items and nylon cooking tools because of the taste it left on my food even weeks later. The amount of food we had to throw away because we stored it in such containers was heartbreaking. It leaves a wretched soapy taste on EVERYTHING. There are reviews on a popular online shopping site that will back this up fully.

Ruined outside coating of frying pans

If you only wash glassware, this product is great. But, don't put a fry pan in, even though it is "dishwasher safe". It will not be "Cascade safe". Two of my fry pans ended up with markings on the outside, like something ran down and took the coating off. I finally got rid of them because they looked so terrible and bought a new one. After just one washing it has a mark on the outside. Also, do not put cake pans in ... mine turned various shades of gray to dark gray to almost black. Was still usable but ugly. That was thrown away also. I am handicapped and can't stand at the sink and do fry pans, aluminum pans or things not glass. This is definitely not the product for me.

Won't dissolve

We have been using cascade complete action pacs for 3 years now and have never had a problem-no film, packs dissolve completely, dishes sparkling. The last 2 bags that I bought will NOT dissolve in the dishwasher. I open the dishwasher after the cycle is over and the pac is sitting on the bottom of the dishwashwer halfway dissolved with a powdery mess all over it. I have had to start cutting the plastic coating off and just putting the powder and gel stuff in. After I finish this bag, I will not be buying this product again.

Horrible taste

I purchased Cascade ActionPacs scented with Gain, since I love the smaell of Gain. The smell is great, but the taste it left on my plastic travel mugs, tupperware, etc. is horrible, and I had to throw most of it away. It worked well as far as the cleaning goes, but I prefer my coffee and my leftovers to taste like coffee and food, not Gain!

But you can do better...

Action packs "weld" to one another in the package. This causes individual packs to tear causing waste and a mess. I'll bet your engineers can find a better material to eliminate this problem. Hope you take the time to create a new & improved Action PAC product.
