Tesco Value Dishwasher Tablets

Up until recently I had never ever used a dishwasher. I owned one once, never ever used it and felt it was pointless lol. I used to have to wash items up a bit before bunging them in said dishwasher so couldn't see the point in bothering with it. Then recently I came to stay with a friend who has been having a hard time. She's having to move out of her house and all-sorts and then when I arrived the boiler broke down meaning that we had no running hot water or central heating but luckily we did have a gas fire, a shower (till that broke and she had to replace it lol) and a dishwasher! I soon ... more

We have a dishwasher in our kitchen, though I only tend to use it once or twice a week when we have people around or if I am in a rush and have very little time to get the washing up done. As I don’t use it on a regular basis, I don’t see the point in purchasing expensive brands of dishwasher tablets such as Finish so I just purchase the bog standard Tesco value ones. For the price of just £1.80 you get 30 tablets which is really good value for money compared to a brand such as Finish where the same quantity of tablets would cost you around £6.00 (though it is worth noting that supermarkets ... more

I am not brand loyal and tend to buy whichever dishwasher tablets are on offer. I am, however guilty of buying branded dishwasher tablets as opposed to the stores own label as I have always assumed branded was best! Just proves that those clever adverts have sucked me in! However a few days ago I noticed my local Tesco had several cleaning products heavily reduced, including Tesco own everyday value dishwasher tablets, reduced to just 83p for a box of 30 tablets. These usually retail for twice that (still a bargain!) At that price I decided to buy a few boxes to try. Tesco value products have ... more

I seem to remember some while back that these were recommended by ‘Which’ magazine as being a good buy, not a Best Buy, but just a good buy. So I bought a pack to try them out. That was about 4 years ago, and I still use them to this day on every wash in my dishwasher. The first thing about them is that they are cheap, about £1.67 for 30 washes which works out just under 6p (actually 5.6p) per wash, compared to between 15 - 20p a wash for the more ‘popular’ hyped brands that you can also freely get from the supermarkets. For that 5.6p per wash, you get a simple dishwasher tablet. Now the ... more

I have to say that when I moved into my new flat and found the dishwasher in the kitchen I couldn't be more excited. The thought of never washing up again made me so happy! This excitement was shortlived though, I then had to find a dishwasher tablet that was actually going to work at a reasonable price. I was unsure to begin with and weary to try an own brand so began with the leading company in the market. This can be extremely expensive so I decided to look around for a saving. I had tried several different tablets before coming across Tesco's own brand. At the time of purchase I was ... more

OK, as you may know if you've read my other reviews - I like a bargain, expecially on dishwasher tablets. So when I saw I would get 30 Dishwasher tablets from Tesco for £1.80, I bought them. Right, first of all, they are very small, and plain white, but don't let that put you off. As I said in the "disadvantages" box, they don't work as well as some brands, but do still work as well, or better than some more expencive ones. Put it this way, if you have moderately dirty plates, glasses, cups and cutlery, it'll work great, but if you have really ground in dirt, such as burned in dirt on pans, it ... more

Bought this to test against my normal brand - they are cheap and we are all trying to save these days. Worked OK on light soil but plateses still had some marks as did some of cutlery.My opinion is that these tablets just do not have ingredients of the Brand products. I should have waited until they were on offer.Personally I rate the Finish gel tablets as the best with the Fairy tablets not far behind. Both feature in promotions so I will double up on my purchase next time. How I wish there was a site that would let me know..it would be great if I could enter in a product and find the ... more
