...new 4 in 1 'Protector Finish Powerball', this comes in a box of 15 tablets, however with this pack I got 33% free, so 20 tablets in all. The box is a clean looking 'blue and white', with the brand name splashed in big letters across the front, a picture of a sparkling clean glass and a picture of one of the tablets in the corner. This product is an irritant and this warning (black cross orange background) is clearly visible on the side of the box.Easy ... ...foil covered tablets are very easy to open with a black tear strip.The tablet itself smells quite strongly of lemon and consists of 2 layers...white with blue flecks and blue with red and white fleck, with a pearlised ball inset in the top of the tablet.
Apparently the red specks are stain soakers (i.e no need to soak beforehand), the white layer has integrated salt function (so no need for added salt), the powerball contains a rinse aid (so no ...

Advantages: Cleaning Disadvantages: lack of orange smell
...use? Well it is usually finish or if not available we’ll use fairy or at a push anything.
But why is finish our first choice? Simply because it is best in cleaning that we have experienced. It brings up glasses clean and shiny, it cleans plates and cutlery to a restaurant standard, and of course it’s more hygienic.
Load your dishwasher and place your tablet in the compartment available, press button for the programme required and sit back and wait ... ...the programme has finished.
Finish has a range of products available for the dishwasher, from cleaners to fresheners and of course the washing products.
THIS OP IS ABOUT THEIR ¨NEW¨ ORANGE 3 IN 1 TABLETS…
We picked up our new orange smelling tablets at our local Sainsbury’s and paid about £6.00 for the 48 tablets.
The box is typical of a finish product – blue with the word ‘finish’ as large as it can get on the front. In the left hand corner ...

Advantages: Clean dishes and NOsalt or rinse aid Disadvantages: None except maybe a LITTLE pricier than others
...paid the full prices, as Finish are running offers about every other month on these tabs. I usually buy 2 boxes when on offer, and wait until the next offer before purchasing again. In fact, I usually pay no more than £6 for a box of 48's. It should also be noted that if they are on offer in one store, you will usually find them on offer in other stores as well, and the offers will NOT be the same. Find out which one usually has the best offers. ... ...joy! And although finish makes other products that probably work just as well, such as rinse aids, and dishwasher cleaners, I don't find them one bit necessary. Even my dishwasher literally SHINES at the end of a cycle. I am pleased as punch with these little beauties. ...

...with my machine (which are Finish tablets) do not fit in the tablet holder!! However, I use these tablets everyday in my machine and I suppose 5 out of 10 washes come out perfectly clean, the items that do not come out clean go in with the next wash and generally then come out clean.
Oil is the worst thing to clean off of items, I find that unless the dishwasher is on its highest setting and I have washed off all residue oil, it just covers the ...

...my testing I found that finish tablets were the best.
A common misconseption of the dishwasher tablets are that they are mearly compressed washing up liquid but the truth is that the tablets have multipurposes that enable a quality of cleaning that the liquid cannot achieve. Dishwasher tablets clean easily all the grease off my cutlery and crockery and the finish tablets do this the best out of all of them and they don't leava any smudges on the ...

Advantages: First Class Cleaning adn Shine! Disadvantages: Not every shop has them.
FINISH Professional double action tablets are THE BEST - I have used every type available and none come even close to these. These have a very similar appearance to the other Finish tablet but boy the results are something else. We live in an area where the water is particularly hard and I was fed up with the often milky,smudged appearance of glasses and china after being 'dish-washed' These particular ones were on offer at Makro @ £20.00 for 300 ... ...cost per dishwashing cycle is 6.5 pence!! and the cleaning really is powerful- I put everything in there! Finish Professional ARE better than the normal ones the cleaning results are unbeatable and definitely A1!
Once you start using these you won't change to anything else - believe me! ...

Advantages: long lasting box Disadvantages: re-washing
...I got to admit the finish 3 in 1 are about the best ive come across. So I saw the advert for the new finish 4 in 1 tabs and decided to buy them.
The difference being between these two tabs as the 4 in 1 is meant to be kinder, streak free and has like a conditioner in it, called Protector Action for all your crystal and glasses and even has more power than the 3 in 1 finish power ball. Well I really don't agree the only thing I find better that once ... ...that Wafts out. As for getting them clean first time every time I think I say most definitely not!
May be great just for your glasses but to fill a dishwasher full of glasses unless your having a party is impossible! I find the 3 in 1 much better!
How the tablet is meant to work It's meant to have a powerful detergent and red stain soaker that breaks down all the food whether dried on or baked
Powerball 4 in 1 has meant to have its own unique ...

...a discount on the Finish Powerball we decided to try them.
The first one seemed OK, no better or worse than the powder. During the second wash we found the dishwasher leaking hot foamy water all over the floor. Luckily our machine is still under warranty and the three day wait for the engineer was not too difficult. As soon as the engineer arrived he enquired about which system we used, nodded and told us that the vast majority of leaks he has to ... ...other problems (no doubt why Finish also market expensive cleaning agents to counter the problem they have created!).
I have contacted Finish and been given the run-around. They tell me that I was 'over-dosing' -- not that I had anything to do with how the dosing occured. There is NO warning on the box that this might happen, nor any advice on how to avoid it.
I just want my money back but Finish seem reluctant to do this despite their product ...

...is minimal. Finish dishwasher tablets are really put to the test in our house as my wife feels the need to use every saucepan and utencil whenever she cooks. The gravy pan is a standing joke in our family because she always manages to slop gravy down the outside which of course burns to the side.
Since the children left home we don't put the dishwasher on as much as we used to so there are often items in there that have been waiting fo a wash for ... ...tablets on the market but if you want the best there is no competition. If you only uses your dishwasher for mugs and plates the cheaper ones might be better but for hard working households that like to bake things onto the bottom of pans Finish is a must. ...

...buy so i went for Finish as they are always advertised on tv an ive never used another brand.
I think they are cool the way they are individually packaged so simple to use just pop one in your dishwasher compartment. They clean everything just great glasses are sparkling and the dishes are gleaming.
I personally have put a pan in the dishwasher with finish. The pan had burnt on stains from making custard i was dubious as to whether it would come ... ...spend that little extra as Finish are quite expensive to get clean dishes rather than save a pound or so and get semi sparking dishes.
The latest prices for Finish are for Finish Powerball 3 in 1. They are as follows...
16 pack = £3.18
32 pack = £5.92
49 pack = £8.79
These prices are based on Tescos prices although i think they would be roughly the same price at most supermarkets. ...

Advantages: Well known brand name Disadvantages: Not good cleaning
We bought the finish powerball 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets because we wanted to try a well known brand name that any person would assume to be better than the Asda brand or the Lidl brand, but I have been sorely disappointed.
Upon opening the box, I found several tabs that didn't have the powerball at all and one that was just a small clump of Finish. None the less, I was excited to try out my new tabs to see how clean my glasses would be, but low ...

Advantages: Same cost as the original tablets Disadvantages: Not as good at cleaning
...noticed a new product called Finish Powerball 3in1 Dishwasher Tablets. It says it includes a built-in rinse agent and salt-action. I thought, great that saves buying those individually which is more expensive. The regular Finish Powerball Tablets cost £3.49 for 22/25 tablets and the new ones retail at the same price but you get slightly less in the box (16 tablets). In comparison the salt costs £1.25 for 2kg and the rinse agent is £2.79 for 500ml. ... ...didn't come out quite as sparkly. I have had to add the separate rinse agent and salt again, and will be reverting to the other tablets.
I am bitterly disappointed that this products does not do what it says it will and have written to Finish to complain. ...

HAVING TRIED AND TESTED MOST 3 IN 1 DISWASHER TABS ON THE MARKET THIS PRODUCT COMES SECOND PLACE IN MY RATINGS.

...had a special offer on Finish so I decided to give them a try thinking they would be fantastic as they are a more expensive brand and advertise a lot on television. How wrong I was, I am very dissapointed. I found that with a lot of the dishes I have had to wash twice and sometimes even three times. People say if you spend that little bit more, you get better results. Not in this case. In the future I am going back to my supermarket's own brand and ...

...effective. Initially I bought the Finish powerball tablets because I only had £3.00 on me at the time and it was the only box I could afford. Sad I know. Anyway when I used the first one I couldn't believe something so small was going to be able to clean a dishwasher full of dishes. Surprisingly to me the dishes came out sparkling clean and I have tried several brands since then that simply do not match up. One of the things I like is that my kids ...
