Finish - All in 1 - Dishwasher Detergent - Powerball - Dishwashing Tablets - Dish Tabs - Fresh Scent, 94 Count (Pack of 1) - Packaging May Vary

These are indeed the foil wrapped pods (thank goodness). I've been using these for over 10 years since I bought my Kitchenaid dishwasher. They were recommended by the manufacturer at the time. They always get my dishes perfectly clean (I do pre-rinse them for good measure).They leave no film in the dishwasher. My dishwasher still looks brand new inside. No residue.When these foil wrapped pods were discontinued at all of the local stores, I tried the other "dissolving" pods, and within a few washes, I noticed a buildup in the dishwasher. Gross. After doing my own research, I determined that the outer casing (that's supposed to dissolve) essentially gets diluted into the water and redeposited on everything. Sometimes it doesn't all dissolve and leaves a film. You are eating it off your dishes!It's not good for the internal pumps and valves, and will lead to premature wear and plumbing problems of your appliance. This was confirmed by several repairmen and handymen (as well as my own common sense). One guy told me 1 out 4 calls is a pump failure (dishwashers and clothes washers) with either goo or partially dissolved pod shells jammed inside from the modern "dissolving" pods.My dishwasher and washing machine are still on their original pumps, and I'd like to keep it that way thank you.To open these pods, just tear the foil like a piece of paper. I find that simple, but it might be harder for those with dexterity problems. In this case, I recommend using gel liquid or powder with enzymes as the main ingredient (not bleach) instead of the dissolving pods.For those who complain that the foil pouches spill powder when opening, yes, that happens. Fairly often. Even if the pod comes out busted up, that doesn't matter! Powder is powder! It will still clean the dishes. Dump it in the detergent tray and move on with life. Back in the old days, dishwasher detergent was only sold as powder in a box. These foil wrapped pods are just compressed powder into a cube.For those who think it makes a mess when the powder spills on the floor, I learned that lesson 10 years ago. The simple "life hack" is to tear open the foil over the detergent tray. That way, if some spills when I open the foil, it will just go into the dishwasher where it belongs. Problem solved. Excess powder that misses the tray can contribute to the prewash. Another hidden benefit.Life seems to be a trade between convenience and longevity. Smart people find ways to get both. Not-so-smart people buy a new appliance every 3-5 years. Your choice.

It's a really good dishwasher tablet and I get it on subscribe and save to save the extra.

I like the individually wrapped pods . Cleaned the load very well.

Seven years ago we had an issue with our dishwasher when we lived in Illinois. Could not get the thing to stop leaking foam out of the bottom seal. I called in a repair person, he said "show me your detergent". Told us to throw out the gel pods and use these. We never had a leak again - and he did nothing to fix the dishwasher. We moved to Florida. Finally bought a shiny new dishwasher about 6 months ago and why not, let's try the gel ones again. The only way they would clean the dishes and completely dissolve was to run it on the Heavy/Hottest cycle. Replaced those with these again...normal wash, normal cycle, no issues - and because we enjoy humidity, the way these are sealed means no matter what the temperature or humidity is in the house, they don't stick together. These are a winner and that box lasts forever. I will never switch again.

I love the fact I can half the capsules to save cost and the amount of soap going into the septic.

I don’t have a dishwasher, so I don’t know how well these work in that, but I saw a hack on YouTube that used these tablets to clean off build up on steal coffee mugs like Yeti or Thermos brands. I had some that were badly stained from coffee and tea, to the point that I was about to toss them. Instead I threw a tablet in each mug, filled it with boiling water, and let it do its thing. Came back an hour later and those mugs rinsed out looking better than brand new. You can see the before and after pictures of the transformation. I can only imagine how well it would clean dishes. Other than that, the package arrived in great condition. I didn’t find any broken tablets.
