I would buy this product again

5

I usually use a different brand and bought this since it was on sale at costco. I was surprised with how good the quality was and how clean it got our dishes in the dishwasher! I'll definitely purchase again!

So convenient

I use this item regularly. What really got me hooked, beside the convenience, is how well they clean. I rarely rinse dishes, and they come out clean each time.

Finish Gelpacs leave my dishes sparkling!

5

I've been using Finish (formerly called Electrasol) for over a decade, and it has always done a great job on my dishes. Back when I was in my college apartment, a new roommate commented on the fact that we were using Finish pacs. "I thought you were buying these because you were lazy," she said, referring to the fact that there's no measuring necessary. "But now I see that they work really well." Her comments sum up my Finish experience exactly. My favorite Finish product is these gelpacs. They are cute little plastic pillows filled with blue gel. They always dissolve completely. I've used them in several brands of dishwashers, ranging from new and good to old and cruddy, and the Finish gelpacs always get my dishes sparkling clean. I've never had any problems with streaking or clouding; my glassware comes out lovely and clear. I almost never have any stuck-on food residue left; Finish does a great job of cleaning even the dirtiest pots and pans. I buy Finish gelpacs in the orange scent, and I like the way it makes my house smell. The packaging emphasizes the need to close the bag of gelpacs carefully, so that they do not dry out. I make sure to fold the top of the bag over, and I have never had any problems with the packets being dry. Overall, I highly recommend Finish gelpacs.

I LOVE this!

This is my favorite dishwasher detergent to use! In fact, I won't use any other! This cleans my dishes so well and it doesn't leave any film behind. I've used the Finish powder before, but it leaves behind some of the soap on my dishes. The gelpacs do not! And you can't beat the price, it is cheaper then some other brands, but I believe this does a better job.

I'M IMPRESSED

5

Since the phosphate ban, I've been wanting an effective dishwasher detergent. After changing brands several times, I decided that I'd just have to live with cloudy glasses. After two months of using Finish Gelpacs, my drinking glasses look clean again and my silverware is shiny. I started using Finish Gelpacs because I'm chemically sensitive and react to the dust of the powders and the perfumes in the liquids when I pour them into the soap dispenser. I really like the Gelpacs because I can take a gelpac straight from the box, put it in the dispenser and not come in contact with any chemicals. Having cleaner dishes is an added bonus. It really does work and no more spilled detergent.

The best thing to happen to a dishwasher since...the dishwasher.

5

The most wonderful thing to happen to a dishwasher since...the dishwasher. Yes, you could say that I like this product just a little bit. I love these little blue beauties. My dishes not only look clean but they feel and smell clean as well. I love that I do not have to mess with bottles and boxes with those lovely and I am being sarcastic here pour spouts that are so easy to use and designed for neatness as well. I have never been a fan of the pour spout from a box no matter what it is but it always happens that those hard little rocks that they call detergent end up all over. They are not good for your dogs or your young children. Now you have a safe, clean, and easy as well as cost effective method. I do not have to re-wash dishes any more or rinse them so this product is most likely saving me money and time that I don't have a way to figure in. I know what I like. I love clean, safe, saving money and time so that I can spend it with the ones I love. This product is an A++ in all of those areas and more.

Finish Quantum Gelpacs lived up to their ads!

5

I used the Finish Quantum Gelpacs for the first time because I had a coupon for them. I've always been satisfied with the other brand I use, but not particularly awed by any that I've tried. We live in an area where there is particularly hard water, and the dishes often have a residue on them. To solve this we generally just add vinegar to the dishwasher every time we run it, but with the old brand the dishes still came out with the occasional film/buildup. With Finish Quantum we have not had that problem- the dishes come out SHINY and CLEAR! I am impressed by the performance, and I think they are a totally reasonable value for their price, especially with coupons.

Gel pacs stuck together in the box and burst when pulled apart

3

**Finish All in 1 Gelpacs** do clean well. I can't deny that. I use only one in my aging dishwasher, and the dishes come out (mostly) sparkling clean. However, there is a major problem I've experienced with my first and only box of **Finish All in 1 Gelpacs. **I used about 1/3 of the box, which I kept under my kitchen sink. Then I reached in for one and came up with several. Somehow, over the month or two that the box had been in my kitchen, two-thirds of the gelpacs had become glued together. I emptied the box and tried to gently pull the gelpacs apart. There were two or three stuck together in various blobs, and even with the gentlest pull, they were firmly stuck. I managed to get a few apart, but others burst when I pulled them away from each other. I'm not sure what design flaw led to this stickiness, but I am going to write to Finish to complain. I won't be buying gelpacs again. As for cleaning, my most recent load had three butter knives that came out almost as dirty as they went in, with food residue still on the upturned ends. In fact, at least one was on its second trip through the dishwasher. I had to clean those knives by hand. Otherwise, Finish All in 1 Gelpacs seem to do a fine job of cleaning. But because of the sticking problem, I can't recommend them.

I love Finish Gelpacs!

I really love the Finish Gelpacs. They work wonderfully well at making my dishes clean and they are also incredibly easy to use. They dissolve so well in the dish washer and never leave anything on my dishes. I genereally like to buy the products I can get for the cheapest price matching coupons and store sales and that's how I came across the Gelpacs. By trying to always get the lowest priced items I have also been able to try several other dishwasher detergents. Finish Gelpacs are my favorite. Other products I have used will sometimes leave a residue on the dishes, but the Gelpacs don't. I also recently used Cascade Liquid detergent and it worked horribly. My dishes wouldn't get clean after the cycle was done and I was starting to think my dishwasher was breaking. Then I started using Finish again and my dishes were clean again. I have also used the Finish Powerball Tabs and they also clean my dishes really well. But I prefer the Gelpacs because they are easier to use because you don't have to take them out of any packaging, other than the box. You have to make sure your hands are dry when you grab a Gelpac out, but then you just plop it in the dishwasher. So easy!

Finish Gelpacs are great

3

Finish Gelpacs are great. They are very easy to use. When I first started using this product, i had my doubts but after doing load after load of dishes, it cut down on my time. I no longer had to pour the detergent debating on if i used too much or too little. I just threw a gelpac into my dishwasher and pressed start. One thing I do like is that it's not wasteful. i like that everything dissolves and no mess to clean up. Sometimes i do find little particles on the tops of my mugs that sit on the top rack of my dishwasher, but i have yet to figure out if that is from the detergent or leftover food. Either way this is a good product. It is very easy to use and it is moderately priced that is equal to competitor products
