I am impressed with these little ying & yang packets.

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

In the past I have used drying agents, detergents and pre-rinse additives to make sure my dishes got the cleanest they could in the dishwasher. In fact, I think I may have tried them all. With that in mind, you can understand that I was not the least bit impressed when I saw the Cascade Complete all in one packets on the shelf. I needed dishwasher detergent though, so I thought, "What the heck?  I'll give it a go."

These packets are a little different than most of the dishwashing packets on the market. For one thing, as the name implies, they are complete. The bottom of the packet contains a detergent while the ying and yang design on top holds the pre-rinse and dry...

Actionpacs for a complete clean

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I really like the Cascade All-in-1 Action packs. They cost a little more then the regular cascade action packs, but I think they do a super job at cleaning and the dishes come out with a lot less spots. I think they are cool looking, too. I love the multi colored swirls. These Cascade Action packs are also great for keeping the jets in my tub clean and free of soap build up and whatever else might get in the lines. If you put a few of these in your jacuzzi tub filled up with very hot water up over the jets and a little bleach run it for 20 minutes then drain, clean it out, and fill it with cold and run it for 20 minutes do this about once a month and it keeps the lines free of residue and th...

These are fantastic!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I did not expect to love the Cascade Complete ActionPacs as much as I do.  I bought a bag of these on a whim to see if they might work in my dishwasher, which has hard water and is often difficult to get anything clean in.  We have been dealing with crust, stains, and detergent granules on our clean dishes since we moved into our apartment, and while we have found a product or two that works along with liquid detergent to do a decent job, we still occasionally get gunk on our dishes.  The ActionPacs are great because it's one product - it's easy to pop one out of the bag and into the dishwasher with no measuring or application of several products.  It gets our dishes CLEAN - something, one would thing, would be easy to find in a dishwasher detergent.  We haven't had to re-wash or re-run a single load since we began using these.  One bonus is that it also gets the dishwasher itself clean - no more stains.

Works great in my old Dishwasher

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I live in an apartment and have an old dishwasher, and it seemed for a while nothing worked well in it!  It is one that only has a sprayer at the bottom.  I always had soap left on my dishes, dishes not getting fully clean, not what a busy mom needs to deal with.  Anyhow, after stopping buying the cheaper store brands, I ended up finding Cascade Complete All-in-1 ActionPacs.  They work GREAT!  My dishes always come out clean now, no soap leftover.  Dishes always look really shiny too, this little pack does everything.  Even the cups on the top end up clean!  The price is really worth the product.  They are a little more expensive, but in the long run, I think you save money because you don't have to re-run the dishwasher because of unclean dishes.  I would reccomend this to anyone, with a good dishwasher or not so good one!!

Great for Getting Grease Off

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

Cascade Extra Action 4x Concentrated Pacs with Dawn are the best cleaning product I have found for my dishwasher.  The Dawn Dishwashing liquit mixed with the tablet fight grease on everything in your dishwasher.  I purchase the 110 pacs at Sam's Club.  They come in a nice plastic container you can place under your kitchen sink.  They are so much easier to use than powder or liquid detergent in your dishwasher.  You just drop one pac in and it cleans and there is not left over residue.   There is no waste of over filling your dishwasher with liquid or powder.  Also you get the results of two products at one time.  There is nothing to unwrap, open etc.  The only problem I have had in the past is if they get punctured the liquid can cause a mess in your container.

I do recommend trying these simple dishwashing pacs by Casecade and you will never go back to the power or liquid detergent again.  You will like the results as your dishes will have no water spots.

Easy, cleans great and inexpensive!!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Cascade Complete All-in-one Action pacs  are a great product!! No more mess!!!  This product gets dishes really clean and shiny. The action pacs assure that you use the correct amount of dish washing detergent (I tend to overuse = wastefull). They are super easy to use -just insert one action pack into the cleaning chamber and run. The action pack cleans and coats dishes with a rinse free shine in one easy step. It does'nt get any easier. I have found great coupons for these so they have been really cheap. Even without the coupons I think that they are a great value because i use the exact amount that I need. The rinse agent is also included and even though I wouldn't normally use this i think that It makes a big difference. Cascade Action packs are alos great if you have kids. My dauter loads the dishwasher and it is really easy for her to start the dishwasher using this product. This is an A+ productin my opinion!

Pretty cool, worked well, not AMAZING

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

I got a sample of a few these so gave them a try. I also gave some to a friend who also had similar results. THey smell the same as most dish detergents - lemony or fresh or whatever. I found it interesting that you have to handle them with dry hands, which worries me a little but you normally have a scoop or spout with regular detergent so whatever. These are purpoted to be amazing so I expected a bit. THey are kind of expected and I don't know if there is a generic so cost may be an issue. THey are easy to just pick one out of the package and stick in the little dishwaasher holder without dumping in a mess of stuff. They did work very nice but did nothing amazing. My dishwasher works fine though, so maybe it would be more noticeable if I had a problem dishwasher. It may have been better at removing a few more smudges but I guess you don't notice what's not there!! My dishes normally come out pretty clean.

Cascade Complete does an amazing job !

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

The Cascade Complete All in 1 Action Pacs do all that they promise to do.

They are priced about the same as similar products but they seem to do a better job than the other brands. They clean even stuck on food and they leave everything looking great, After using this product I find my dishes, silverware, pots, and pans are cleaner, brighter, and shinier.

The Cascade Complete All in 1 Action Pacs are much more convenient than using regular powdered or liquid dishwasher detergent. They save you time and are less messy. We are all looking for ways to save money and I have found many coupons for the Cascade Complete All in 1 Action Pacs.  

 I have used several brands of dishwasher soap throughout the years I've had my dishwasher. I prefer these to other brands and have recommended them to my family and friends who use a dishwasher. The manufacturer of this product has made a product the can be proud of.

It even gets off baked on cheese!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

After trying out the Cascade Complete All-in-1 Action pacs in two different dishwashers, I am sure it is one of the most effective dishwashing detergents I have used to date. Packaging claims that in includes pre-treaters, stain fighters, grease removers, and a rinse-aid along with the powerful detergent, all in a small single use package that you place in the detergent bin of your dishwasher.

The fact that you don't have to pre-soak dishes with baked on foods and you don't have to worry about dried on food or water marks is enough of a reason to try the Cascade Complete All-in-1 Action pacs. It was even able to get my wine glasses virtually spotless.

I found them easy to use and incredibly effective.

Conveniently gets dishes super clean!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I really like using the Cascade Complete All in 1.  It gets all my dishes clean every time...even the occassional super dirty pan...without prewashing!  When using other tablets/gelpacs, I find there is usually a dish or two that could stand to have another go in the dishwasher.  Not with these babies though!

After using Cascade Complete All in 1, my dishes come out the dishwasher clean, sparkly and shiny with no water spots.  I was amazed at how many wineglasses we washed after a party and NONE of the glasses had a single water spot!  All the dishes also came out squeaky clean...the ultimate test of a dishwashings agent's effectiveness. 

At first, I did notice the price was higher than the alternative choices around it, but I had a nice coupon for it.  When I read the ActionPac also included the rinse agent, I realized it was probably cheaper than buying the detergent + rinse agent separately and it's more environmentally friendly.

Cascade Complete All-in-1 Action Pacs work OK

Overall
Rated 2 out of 5

I am 34 years old and for the first time in my life, I own a dishwashing machine.  I had no idea what brand to use, as I live in a small town and our stores carry only a couple of different brands.  I tried Cascade Comple All-in-1 Action Pacs.  They get my dishes clean, but I do not recommend them for really greasy pots and pans.  I have tried all of the Cascade Action Pacs including the one with Dawn and the stuck on 24 hour pac and I believe all of them work about the same.  I know that if I am going to cook bacon on a cookie sheet, remove the excess grease, and put that pan in the dishwasher with other dishes, that everything except the darn cookie sheet will have to be washed again.  I have just come to terms with this.  And they do leave spots on my cups.  I would be really excited if Cascade could come up with a better action pac so I could stop washing dishes in the dishwasher twice when I have really dirty dishes.  Good to use for everyday.

Only thing i'll use for my dishes

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

Ok, Cascade Complete All-in-1 ActionPacs are pricey...But you can find many coupons online or in the sunday paper, so it makes ActionPacks cheaper.

But...These packs works magic! I've never had so cean and shiny dishes as i do now. Before,even using other cascade packs or liquid i've never had these results. No other diswasher detergent would clean dishes that had some food leftovers stuck on dishes. So using these cascade packs no more smell, no more wite stains, only clean nice dishes. Love these Cascade Complete All in one ActionPacks!!!

And you only need one pack per one full dishwasher. It really does magic, just try it yourself! :)

Toss a Cascade Complete Pac in the dishwasher and thank me later

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

Cascade Complete All-In-One Pacs are the newest product in the "Action Pac" line.  These little packets contain a tablet of compressed powdered dish detergent, shine shield, rinse aid, and other ingredients that will pre-treat and dissolve food from dishes.  The bag makes mention of "enzymes", but it doesn't elaborate on what kind of enzymes the product contains or what they are supposed to do.  My best guess is that they are there to break down dried food on dishes.  I could be wrong.

I don't do much more than a cursory rinse of the dishes before I load them into the dishwasher.  Sometimes I don't even do that.  After the dishwasher is fu...

Cascade Complete ActionPacs make dishwashing an easy task!

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

Doing the dishes is one of my least favorite household chores.  In fact, it is right up there with folding laundry.  There are only two humans here in the house, but there are 5 cats and 3 parrots, so there are absurd amounds of dishes to be cleaned each day.  I hate to admit it, but I wash anything that will fit into the dishwasher in said machine.  I'd rather do 3 or 4 loads in the machine that stand and hand-wash anything other than the knives and Mexican pottery.  I rely on powerful dishwasher detergents to get the job done and my go-to product is Cascade Complete.

Cascade Complete comes in little packets that contain a pre-treatment, dish detergent, sh...

My Viewpoint!SOLD!  Cascade All-in-1 ActionPacs a bit pricey but the are sooooo worth it.     I was shopping one day at my local SAM's club and looking to buy the mega liquid soap for my dishwasher.  I had Cascade liquid in my cart and was browsing when my eye was drawn to the Cascade All-in-1 ActionPacs. 

Cascade All-in-1 ActionPacs are tough acting soap with degreaser and a rinse agent, all in one little gelpac!  What...
