I thought the price was a bargin for a name brand product. Now I know why it was priced so low. First it was shipped to me with the tops unsecured, so they all arrived opened. Thankfully only one leaked. This product started out okay, then fizzed out after the first 3 uses. It doesn't get my dishes clean, made a black ring around my sink drain, leaves white sheets and flakes of residue on dishes, in the dishwasher, and inside the inner workings of the machine. The fact that these sheets are solid and hard can't be good for the mechanics of your machine and I'm sure it takes away from it's life span. There's also the fact that I'm having to waste water and throw away money rewashing the dishes with another name brand that actually gets the job done. I've actually used store brands that worked far better than this. I admit I saw the negative reviews and I thought those folks must have hard water or something. I don't, so I went ahead and bought it. Don't waste your money folks. I said I would stop writing detailed reviews on Amazon, because it seems that if you submit anything written in a detailed fashion in a way that suggests you have anything above average education or vocabulary it gets scrutinize to death by Amazon. So let them do with this as they well. However I felt this had to be shared, as today there are far too many companies selling low quality products and getting away with it. I for one am frankly fed up with it. I work too hard to throw away my money. Update 2/6/23 I switched back to my regular dishwasher detergents, and After doing an empty cycle with pure vinegar to see if it would help, I've noticed that my machine no longer gets my dishes clean as before. I've done several cycles, wasted goodness know how much water, detergent and money,to no avail. Fed up and hopping mad I called the company that makes this awful product to calmly explain to them. I got every excuse under the sun. The problem is the practically new machine, the water isn't getting hot enough to melt the detergent. She asked me what setting I'm using. Well, being that there is nothing that says the machine has to be on a certain setting, I don't see how that matters. Next, your wash cycle isn't long enough. Doesn't say on the bottle that a machine needs to be set on a cycle that runs a certain amount of time. Then it was, the water temp isn't getting hot enough. What does it need to be set to, purgatory!? Probably so, to melt this stuff. She said to run the hot water a bit before doing dishes. Upon thinking this made no sense, because the machine heats the water as well. The dishes come out piping hot. So hot that if you touch on it will burn you. So I asked her are you telling me that throughout the whole course of the washing process the water isn't getting hot enough to melt this stuff Lastly it's buildup because I only use vinegar to clean my machine. Now pure vinegar is quite acidic. I use it to clean my stove and it melts away grease with no problem. Yeah, it's built up alright, a build up of finish that has clogged up my machine. I've never had a problem with my machine until I used finish and vinegar is all I ever used. I know people that have only used vinegar for years and they've had no problems at all. But then they haven't used finish in their machines. And yes, I called around to friends and family to check, being that I'm desperate to not have to wash dishes by hand because of a medical condition. I also certainly don't want to have to spend money to replace an almost new machine. They don't want to take responsibility. I find it strange that I have been using store brand mostly, with not a single problem. Everything melts without me having to worry about there not being a purgatory settingon my machine. Dishes have always come out sparkling clean with no spots. I don't put greasy dishes or pots in my machine either. The dishes are practically clean when I put them in. They are put in a sink of dish liquid until I am ready to rise and load them in the machine. I never even have use a rinse agent. The cycle is long enough to work with every other product. She would not address why every other product I've used worked great and my machine worked wonderful, until I used finish. Hmm, I wonder why? Don't buy this stuff folks. I wouldn't suggest trying it if they were giving it away free and paying you to use it! Update 3/27/23 So I received a call from on 2/ 7 that made me mad enough to contemplate calling my lawyer. The little psychopath that works there there called me and told me that I was not supposed to be using liquid detergent in my type dishwasher. I informed her that liquid detergents are all I've ever used in it since I've had it. I told her that I've never had any problems with any of the other liquid detergents. That was the best excuse they could come up with, you better believe they were looking for any way not to take responsibility. Had it not been that it would been you shouldn't have been washing dishes in the machine. You should take em down by the river with a scrub board and a cake of lye soap. Because you put dishes in the machine it caused our product to mess up your machine. Seeing that I was hopping mad and ready for a fight, ( I rarely get this mad, but I'm tired of getting the shaft and the kiss off.) My mom said what about that home appliance insurance you pay for. Now get this folks, in the middle of telling the guy about my machine he pipes in and asks me did you use finish? He asked me this before I could completely describe the problem and BEFORE I could even tell him I'd used finish in my machine. He then proceeded to tell me I wasn't the only one. He said the running joke around there is they named the product right because it will surely finish you dishwasher. I told him truer words have never been spoken. If you asked me the named should be changed from reckitt to racket, because they really do have a good racket going making money off a product that's no good, but detrimental to your machine. My new replacement machine arrived over the past weekend and all is right in my world. But you can bet I will never use another product made by this company. Airwick, Clearasil Durex, Enfamil, KY, Mucinex, Rid-x, Woolite, Resolve, Neuiva, MegaRed, Biofreeze, Cepacol, Delsym, Easy Off, Lysol, Nutramigen, Veet, Digestive advantage, Finish, Airborne, Move Free, botanical origin, Queen v...and anything else I find is made be reckitt or subsidiaries. I went through my cabinets, pantry and storage closet making sure to discard any products made by them. Did the fridge and medicine cabinets too, just in case. I sure wouldn't be fool hearted enough to use any of their ingestible products. Not even a rub efficient, because whatever you rub on your body gets into your bloodstream. BTW if you've been after the hubby to buy you a new dishwasher, get ya some finish. Once it assassinates your dishwasher he'll have no choice but to buy you a new one!
