I thought that detergent was detergent: no real difference between brands. I did appreciate the convenience of the pacs, but figured I could save some money by getting a generic version. Yikes, what a difference. It took me awhile to figure out, I thought maybe there was a problem with my dishwasher. I was having to hand wash many of my dishes after they came out of the dishwasher. And because money is an issue, I wasn't willing to throw out the remaining generic pacs, but I should have! Once I finally used them up and switched back to Cascade, my dishes and glasses are sparkly clean again. Who knew there would be that much of a difference?!?

This is the best product I have found in the stores. I have tried other products, but this by far is the best. No more water spots and my glassware sparkle through and through. My plastic containers no longer have spots or have that greasy feeling that some products leave behind.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried several products over the years:powder, gel and gel pacs and the rinse. Now that I am using Cascade Platinum, alone, on a regular basis i do not feel a need to try anything else. It is my only go-to dishwasher product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never had to rewash a dish. Always came out clean and the dishes never had spots. I like to not have to rewash at least half my dishes like with other dishwasher detergent. The generic detergent might have been cheaper in price but it cost more with all the rewashing I had to do.

With four kids always on the go and working part time, I do not have time or energy to sit over a sink and prewash my dishes. I was not certain if this was going to work. We had spagetti that night and I just put them in the dishwasher, used Cascade complete. I was in a state of surprise when it really worked. I am now a faithful user!

I have used the cascade gel packs for years and love them. I did however try the new scent...New Zealand. It smelled great in the kitchen while it was running but when done my dishes smelled strongly of the scent and the cups, etc tasted from it. I do not recommend the New Zealand scent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a self-described minimalist when it comes to prepping anything that needs to go in the dishwasher, scrape solids off, in it goes. Cascade Platinum pods are the third type I have tried and the one I will stay with... everything, except when hubby over-packs a section, that water can reach, comes out perfectly clean. Dishwasher outflow water goes to our septic tank and no change in how well that is working so Cascade Platinum isn't killing off essential septic tank bacteria.

I bought Casacade extraAction the 110 pacs and they all leak the blue liquid (Dawn) out in the container and they are all stuck together so when I use one in my dishwasher it only has the white powder on the one side that does the washing. I always used Cascade powder in the box until I bought these but I would not buy these again and will use a different product from now on.

I bought this expensive product, and to say the least it is the worst dishwashing detergent I have every used. How would one feel if when you emptied your coffee cup(which you had drunk) and found a small capsule of this product in the cup???? I am telling everyone I know NOT TO USE THIS. I think it is dangerous. Also when I called the 800 number all I got was voice mail. You could not talk to a person, you are referred to this web site. What a bummer.

For the price, the All-in-One Actionpacs were a disappointment. My dishes came out gritty. I ran the washer empty with vinegar to clean it out, but that did not solve the problem. I have found another product on the market that works much better, so I'm going to stick with the competitor's product.
