Don't be wishing things like that. One day they'll learn about "milk, milk, lemonade, around the corner fudge is made".

I've actually seen several new dishwashers recently recommending Finish detergent. I wonder if Cascade is losing it's grip on paying the most to be rated #1. My mother used to use Cascade Platinum in FL but it was for a very good reason. In FL there is a lot of lime in the water and no matter what detergent she used, all her glasses came out foggy white except if she used the Cascade. That was the only product she found that would get rid of that white film. I think they discovered that it works because they got a free sample pack in the mail that had 2 or 3 pods in it. I always used to use Electrosol because you could buy the powder in a big bucket at BJ's with a coupon and it was a really good deal. Once Electrosol changed to Finish the buckets went away and everything went tabs. I tried the Finish Powerball tabs once in my 1982 Maytag. Only once. When the detergent door opened and the tab dissolved my dishwasher started puking suds all over the kitchen floor. It was then I knew I had f**ked up. I decided that dishwasher pods are designed for modern dishwashers that gently pee on your dishes for three hours and not for machines that actually generate a forceful spray action. I took the tabs back and returned them and have never used anything but powder in that machine since. I generally use Walmart Great Value detergent in my dishwasher. I used to occasionally get Market Basket store brand powder detergent but that has been gone since the beginning of the pandemic. They have at times replaced it on their shelf with Finish powder which I had never seen before and I used that a few times when I didn't want to make a special trip to Walmart just for detergent. It works as good as anything and was cheaper than Cascade. The reason Dawn is on the Cascade package is because Proctor and Gamble make both so it costs them nothing to put it there. The real problem your friend had was probably that she had a new modern washer and no brand of detergent is going to make it clean well because it uses too little water and generates insufficient spray pressure to effectively clean anything. Ask me how I know about that.

Well you are doing the right thing for sure! There are some cases where Cascade will do a better job, depending on water quality. Agreed though, the old dishwashers actually worked, the new ones have a "weak stream". I realize that P&G makes both products. Different departments or company divisions, and internally, I bet money changes hands. Incidentally, these "pacs" also created a lot of suds in my machine, but not enough to spill out.

Seems like you’re more upset with the price and marketing rather the the actual product.

That's the whole point. They're not selling a bad product, but there is far better out there for a lot less money. These companies pray on big, fat, dumb, American consumers. Dumb is the key word, the general public is dumb as rocks and will fall for just about any trick or ploy. Many of these companies are hanging on to their heritage of being #1 for many years. They charge exorbitant prices for their inferior product. And I do mean inferior. Another shining example of this is Hellmann's mayonnaise. Many Americans grew up on that stuff. Their formula has changed, they refuse to acknowledge that. They are using inferior ingredients. The quality has suffered. You end up with a product that appears just like it used to be when the jar is opened, but doesn't last long at all. For anyone who speaks out, they will gladly apologize and send coupons out for free replacement products to hush the customer. Almost like a hush clause in a lawsuit, they are so quick to send out anything to hush the customer because they don't want their secret out. Well I let their secret out in a video I made a good 8 years ago, and still get comments to this day on it of people agreeing.

I was in my local Costco recently and saw this same package being sold for the same price you quoted. Around 25 cents per pac. I saw many people with them in their carts. I walked down the aisle 10 feet and found Finish Quantum Tablets being sold for 13 cents each! They work just as well! I truly miss the old Cascade powder with Chlorine and Phosphates and also Finish made by Ecolab here in the Twin Cities which had the same components. These detergents worked AMAZING and were worth the money.

If they work for you, that's great. As for your dishwasher, I doubt it's on borrowed time. Back then, they still built quality. You've only had minor repairs, and it's very lightly used.

I have a $50 for Target, so I can stock up for cheap as free, scores! I have some vintage Cascade that works well, but not too impressed with the modern version. If I really want to get things perfectly clean, I'll break out the fryer boil out powder, with phosphates. I'll typically make sure to have the pipe primed with hot water, before running the dishwasher to ensure the hottest water possible. Takes a few minutes, especially in the winter. Many years ago, I used the Equate brand dandruff shampoo, 100% money back guarantee. One day, the formula was changed, and burned my scalp. Took it back, got my money back, no problem. I've always had good luck with Up and Up/Smartly product. When I bought the GE dishwasher, it had a sample pack of Finish in the instruction bag.

Oh good! Definitely give it a shot, see how it works for you. I bet your GE will be pretty happy with it. Yes, the fryer boil out powder is some good stuff. I read about it, seems to be mostly TSSP, which you can buy alone and probably have excellent results for less. Around here, I told the wif there are 2 rules in the kitchen: 1. Any silverware, either in the drainboard, or put in the dishwasher, is always loaded business end DOWN. I had an accident with a fork that had its tines sticking up years ago. 2. Before running the dishwasher, run the sink as hot as it will go for a minute or so. We found this one out "the hard way" when we moved in. The dishwasher took on water and sat there for a really long time before it did anything. It was heating the water, and it just took forever if it wasn't already pretty hot. Aldi's got some dandruff shampoo that's not bad. The best in my opinion is Selsun Blue, but that's not cheap, and pretty powerful. Every once in a while I'll splurge on that.

Hey man, so I get your POV on it: it bothers you that the cost of this product seems unreasonable and you want your voice to be heard. That's the beauty of freedom of speech. However, I'm not sure that labeling those of us who would (and do) buy this product as "...dumb Americans..." is really the way to win people over to your side. There are just too many moving parts in the decisions people make to make a genralized statement like that. I don't have a huge income. Yet after all the grief I've been through in spending money on different brands of dishwasher products that don't work, I have been happy since I started using these Cascade actionpacs. As you pointed out, they *do* work well. As you also pointed out, the fine print is on the container, as it should be. It's there to be read and understood so people can make a more informed decision in their purchase. The ploys and schemes of the ways companies market their products have been going on for over a century...and yes, they work on people who haven't been properly educated about them. But I'm fairly confident that those who *are* aware of it tend to make choices about what to buy and how to spend their hard-earned money as wisely as possible. I don't feel any shame in buying both name brand and generic/store brand things as I see fit. I think if you look deeper down the rabbit hole, you'll find that nearly everything is overpriced, with few exceptions. Even "clearance" items are usually priced to still turn a profit for the store (which is needed to keep retailers in business, too). Again, I see your viewpoint. But perhaps in future similar videos, if you could refrain from implying that American consumers are incapable of discernment from marketing strategies, I'm sure it would be appreciated. 😊

Having dealt with the general public for years, I have a very low opinion of the average American. I worked in retail electronics for years so I saw them all. Oftentimes they'd come in to see the latest printers with separate ink tanks (that just came out at the time). Every single one of them thought they were going to save money on ink. But that's what's marketed. The truth of the matter was, the printer manufacturers are a business, like anyone else. Their job is to turn a profit. *NOT* customer service. And especially not to do anything that would ever hurt their bottom line. Not a single customer could see that. I use the term I use as a "colloquialism". Of course there are educated consumers. But they are few and far between. Occasionally I'd have a customer that pointed something out even I was not aware of, or knew a tremendous amount more than I did. So what I'd do is shut up and listen. If you're happy with Cascade, that's great. If you have "played the field" and found it works for you, that's even better. There never is a one-size-fits-all solution. That's why a lot of things are marketed now as "one size fits most". Still, there are inherent flaws in this dosing "technology". Years ago we had powder and that's what we used. Nobody ever had a problem with it. Of course the machines did an excellent job as well, that plays a huge part of it. With dishwashers, there is also room for user error. Like I had stated, the party who owned this package originally claimed it did not work for them. But they also refused to run a load unless everything was packed in there like sardines. There needs to be room between the dishes and other articles being washed so the water and detergent and pressure can do its job. That clearly was user error, and not necessarily the fault of this detergent. However, that leaves a bad mark in their mind on this brand. Cascade makes a good product. But again, it's profit-driven, not customer satisfaction driven. They are so quick to hush-hush any customer who had a poor experience with their product. It's worth the small outlay of money and loss of profit to prevent their (ironically) _dirty_ secret out. I had a much older video where I debunked Hellmann's/Best Foods mayonnaise. Unilever, the parent company, *cloaked* the poor reviews by grouping their jarred mayonnaise with their squeezy bottle mayonnaise. People were enamored with the squeezy bottle so the product was rated very highly. This was DELIBERATE. There is no question about that. While my perception of the public has not changed, nor will it ever, your comment has been duly noted, and I appreciate the constructive criticism. That is always welcome on my channel, and for that, I thank you.

i switched back to liquid detergent, we were finding pack reside and chemicals on the dishes when the packet would half disolve inside or get stuck to dishes. dishwashers are weird, you should watch the "technology connections dishwasher" video for more fun, they actually rinse off dirt breifly, then wash again and recirculate dirty water to wash the dishs, then rinse the dirt off at the end with clean water, for 3 cycles only the one mid cleaning cycle uses the detergent,

The packs suck. It's a new type of detergent that's made for "today's busy lifestyle", as if putting liquid or powder detergent in your machine for 5 seconds is too much time. Complete waste! I have seen that video. A key ingredient here is a good dishwasher that actually uses water. As Technology Connections demonstrated, new machines take a tiny amount of water and switch between the wash spray arms. Ridiculous!

My girlfriend actually brought her old box of cascade platinum to my house and I regularly have to run dishes through a second load using my powder after she has run it with those worthless pods. First time every time with the powder. I have a whole house water softener and the pods have too much detergent and leave residue while cleaning worse.

"First time every time" sums it up well. Use the good stuff, the powder, how it's always been, and it's once and done.

I've used those before and the and they were OK. I started to use powdered detergent from the finish brand and it just worked. I've actually had more issues laundry detergent, I'm not sure if it's my POS washing machine that claims to be energy efficient that drains and refills the tub 7 times. but with that I uses the infamous candy detergent known as tide pods and I remember there was a sticker or something on the lid that tells you to use 1 for a small load, 2 for a medium load, and 3 for a large load. Most of the time it works but occasionally it doesn't work the best on something that reaks or has nasty strains. At that point I tried to use 4 packets and then just went with a commercial liquid detergent that is way more effective. I decided to stop using the Tide pods because I felt they were a gimmick and personally didn't think they were worth it.

Wow, look at that! The NUMBER 1 RATED BRAND IN AMERICA and it just worked _OK???_ *EXACTLY* my point! The pods, pacs, packs, toss n' go's, flings, whatever they want to call them, they ARE a gimmick, just another way to sell their inferior detergent. For the laundry right now, and for the past year, I've been using a big tub of powdered America Fresh. Never heard of it? That's because it's not well known, but you can Google it and find it. It works perfectly fine.. The only problem is, I am now running critically low on it, so it's time to restock. Might go with FOCA this time, not sure yet. FOCA isn't the greatest detergent out there, but it is cheap. If you add a small amount of good detergent with it, it makes it just as good. I have some cheap liquid dishwashing soap. Kind of thin and watered down, not really great quality. Had about a dozen bottles of the stuff and it wasn't working well. At the Lidl store here, they sold a container of Castile soap, Castile soap is made from olive oil is about all I can tell you about it. Pretty thick and viscous. A little of that mixed with that low-end dishwashing liquid gives you "Dawn performance" at bargain basement prices.

Hey there. I’m using the cascade liquid this time around in my countertop machine. I don’t want to waste it but I don’t know if I can work around it. Can I just use half the dispenser amount? Should I just trash it and get a bargain brand?

Have I killed my little dishwashing hero?😢

I can tell you this: When one of these "pacs" are used in my dishwasher, I can HEAR the difference. Same sort of thing, starts off strong, and then reduces down. The reason that is happening inside the machine is SUDS, something that should NEVER happen with dishwasher detergent, that's the whole point. Truth be told, I was also "given" a bottle of Cascade lquid dishwasher detergent (from an estate). Besides the fact that the liquid works a lot better and does not produce the suds, one thing I have started doing years ago is to ONLY use half the amount of detergent. I do this with any brand, any type. I still get exemplary results. I don't think your coutertop hero is damaged, just discouraged. Switch brands, use less, and you'll both be happy.

Hey Jay. I actually received a coupon for a free Tub of Cascade Platinum, years ago, when I bought a new dishwasher. Of course, I redeemed it, because, who wouldn't? Anyway... Using it in real life, turned out to be a bad idea. I have Soft Water (Just as MUCH of New York does) and for me, it would create so much excess foam, that the dishwasher motor in two different machines, would start to seize up in the main wash cycle. You'd notice, from outside the door... that it was noticeably quieter while running. And while the dishes looked Okay... when they came out, some things were left behind, by the detergent in the wash process. It just wasn't an effective clean, and I KNOW those suds are BAD for the water pump. Since than... I have exclusively used Cascade Powder with Phosphates, or Cascade Complete Powder from Target, as well as a Chlorinated Dishwasher GEL from time to time. I have had HORRIBLE luck with that Smartly Powder, which actually left a nasty film on everything, overtime. But... oddly enough, the Great Value Powder from Wal-Mart, gave me great results that Target's didn't. The point that I have learned is... Nothing Beats a Powder or Gel, for most people. And I actually calculated it. You get 43 uses out of a 75oz Box by just filling the main wash cup. 28 If you fill BOTH Cups.

@jaykay18

Жыл бұрын

Sure, you never look a gift horse in the mouth. Same thing happened when I used one of these in my machine. A lot of suds. Not enough to leak out of the machine, but it was noticeably quieter. I even opened the door to check and indeed, there it was. Bad stuff. And, imagine that, from the # 1 Leading National Brand! I don't know if the suds really hurt the pump. It's designed to run dry for a short time because it's a timed drain cycle. They know how long it would normally take for it to empty, and then add some time because not everybody's drains are fully patent. If the WalMart stuff works better for you, that's great. The same here applies, it's the cheap store brand stuff. Not everything works for everybody, that's one of the reasons why there are different things in every category out there. Your calculations are correct with your machine, it is machine dependent though, one machine could have a larger detergent cup than another, or a smaller one. Taking your 43 as an average, what I do in my machine is fill both dispensers, the wash and pre-wash, HALFWAY to the line. So that equals the same. So if we double that, that's 86, and that's pretty close to 92 of the Cascade. Out of ONE box. That's a (rough) savings of 18 dollars, way more than the 8 I said.

@@codythedogyoutuber That discredits your first statement of "They work wonders on a new lg". You wouldn't know what "working wonders" is until you've tried several.

So you said "The three things on top are the same just colored". That is actually false, One is Rinse Aid, One is Dishwasher Cleaner, One is Dawn for grease (concentrated), and the bottom stuff is the actual detergent. I work for the company that promotes these products in store, and many people have no idea what is in each part of the Pacs, However if you look at the package or bin, it shows Cleaning Brush (Cleaner), Sparkling Glass (Rinse Aid), and a Pan (Dawn). So whats funny is everyone thinks Gain, Tide, Cascade, Swiffer etc are different companies... its actually just 1 Company called Procter & Gamble. Also as someone who uses these alot, it works amazing compared to Finish and other brands which dont get my dishes clean ever and leave spots, leftover food, etc. In terms of the Platinum Pods they tell us to tell people its for Quick Wash 1 Hour. It does not work as well at 2-3 hours.

Since you work for a company that promotes these products, you likely get a discount. Your qualifications can only therefore be taken with a grain of salt. I've seen many other videos regarding these, and they all said the different colored stuff is the same. As for rinse aid, that's incompatible with the detergent and needs to be dispensed during the rinse cycle, otherwise it simply gets washed away. So immediately, that's false too, because dishwashers have a special dispenser for rinse aid, and only dispense it into the machine during the rinse cycle, so it can do its job effectively.

I have used these pods for years and have never had an issue like people say, customers have also backed up they swapped to Cascade because they actually work and the dishes come out squeeky clean and spotless every time on the quick wash settings. You say these do not do their job, however in my own machine they work flawlessly compared to using other pods/detergents i have used over the years which left films, spots, and leftover food.

I have heard of it and from what people tell me, it works GREAT. In fact, it works like dishwasher detergent used to, because it has phosphates! An alternative is to buy a box of TSP, I found a 1-pound box on Amazon for 10 bucks, and you use about a tablespoon or so of it with regular detergent. At 1 tablespoon, that 1-pound box is good for about 30 loads of dishes. Each load will cost about 33 cents in TSP, plus detergent, but you can't buy anything for 33 cents anymore, so it's a trivial amount.

time you use 92 pods you have thrown out 30 due to sticking together il just keep washing my dishes by hand

That's probably true!

That container was $23?? My goodness, I feel sorry for whoever bought that. I HATE detergent pacs, dishwasher or washing machine. They are more expensive, and for what? Convenience. Plus, does it ACTUALLY work better than liquid or powder? Probably not. We use both liquid laundry detergent, and liquid dishwasher soap. We use Cascade liquid but that's only because my mom buys it and it "works". It cleans fine, but so does Walmart's "Great Value" liquid that I have tried, which is 1/3 the price for the same amount. I will never purchase pacs, unless they can actually prove that they work better. Until then, liquid for me. I've never used powder so I can't comment on that. Not opposed to it tho. One other thing, dish soap. Dawn is the number 1 brand why? Because they paid to be. I will say, after working in a commercial kitchen, we use 2 different products for dish washing: We use a Sysco brand degreaser, it comes in gallon bottles and is amazing. We also use Dawn, but it's commercial Dawn, which personally I have noticed does make a difference. That's what we use at home (you typically don't find it at most grocery stores, at least the type we use) but all 3 of us have noticed a difference. It's like Laundersol, it's expensive but if you compare it to Tide or home-grade Dawn, it's not much more expensive, and it works much better. One quick note about toilet paper: I bought a HUGE package of Scott brand toilet paper, I think at Target, and I started using it on August 15 of last year (I put a note under my sink so I could see how long it would take to go thru the package) 5 months later, and I still have 6 rolls left, not including the one on the ring. My parents both INSIST on using Charmin that you buy in big packages at Costco, and it is close to $30 a pack, if not more. My Scott was $15 or $20 I think, and 5 months later, here it is. Granted, they go thru more of it. But I'd hate to see how much was spent on Charmin vs my lowly Scott....

@jaykay18

That's why you need Laundersol. You know the power of commercial-grade cleaning agents. They definitely work better than the crap they sell us. Try the powdered stuff, if you can find it cheaper than the liquid, otherwise it doesn't really make sense. Typically I have found the powder is cheaper. As for the toilet paper, yep--and good for you for leaving yourself a note. That's some GOOD mileage you're getting out of it. Charmin is all marketing. So is Cascade. Not bad products. Just overhyped.

If you really want that old-school clean, skip the LemiShine and instead mix with 1 teaspoon of TSP--Trisodium phosphate.

Then again, I don't overload my dishwasher, but a lot of people do, which leads to poor performance. Especially the person who gave these pods to me. As the saying goes, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

They're garbage, and overpriced. Follow the advice I gave in this video.

Cascade platinum is TOO MUCH detergent in most situations. If you have awfully chalky gross untreated water, yes it’s necessary. But if you have softened treated water, it’s way too much. These are strong good working pacs but are overpriced yes. The community is brainwashed into believing they work better somehow than gel or powder. I use cascade COMPLETE gel, been using it for decades in all water conditions and works excellent and it’s not overpriced but has gone up w inflation. I had no choice but to use these because we have awful city water and everything would come out with white residue the platinum variety was the only one that made my dishes clear again. The lower variety’s didn’t cut it. Listen to this, Great value advanced pacs Walmart brand did as best of a job as cascade platinum. Don’t waste your money!!!

Just found your channel, and subscribed. You are 100% correct! I feel like I just found someone who thinks like me. I can't stand these stupid EPA government regulations that make no sense and are destoying are appliances. I would love to see someone dress up like Mr. Spock from Star Trek and go to these EPA meetings and tell them "Your ideas are completely illogical". 😂 I grew up in the 1970's and have wonderful memories of my Mother using Cascade in her GE Potscrubber. I too remember the wonderful smell coming from the dishwasher. Where I live, water is plentiful and cheap. Electricity is also cheap. I bought a GE dishwasher back in 2012 and converted it back to the old late 1970's Potscrubber III. I wanted a more modern look on the outside with the inside of the older Potscrubber. I spent close to $950.00 converting it back. That doesn't include the $500.00 I spent buying the washing at Home Depot. It has the pop-up tower wash, the bottom spray arm and the smaller ceiling spinner arm. It has a water valve that uses 2 gallons per each fill. On the Pots & Pans it has 7 cycles (Prewash, Rinse, Rinse, Main Wash, Rinse, Rinse, Rinse) (14 Gallons of Water total). It has a 1/3 horse power pump motor. On the Pots & Pans cycle, it takes 1 hour and 15 minutes to wash and dry. I took some time trying to finding the correct circuit board for my dishwasher to operate correctly. The Dishwasher I converted was GE GSD4000KBB. I wouldn't trade it for any of these modern dishwashers we have today. By the way, I also have a 2012 Speed Queen Top Load Washer and Dryer. I still use the Cascade Complete Powder (4 lb box) that I only pay $6.00 for. So far, it works great in my modern GE Potscrubber. I was able to convert the Dishwasher because many replacement parts for the old GE Potscrubbers can still be purchased from online appliance part stores. I can't wait to watch your other videos!

Your missing a few points! I am an appliance repairman. Any pods for your washer or dishwasher are junk. Example 1. Where does this plastic go you ask? It builds up in your washer and dishwasher pumps ruining your control boards because all of the sensors failing. It also does damage to your pumps and motors. 2. These pods are high in chemicals driving up doctor visits. Dermatologist reports are up almost 200% this year because of the #1 brands. 3. The dyes are the color inside them which make a consumer buy them. Not good for the human body. Look at your food contents for these dyes also. They are poisoning us 1 way or another. This isn't grandma's food coloring for cookies. It is really harmful stuff! 4. Cold call! Stone Cold and Ice Cube should be ashamed for not doing their research before promoting such garbage. I lost a ton of respect for both of them after that commercial a few years ago. 5. The only Cold call is coming at the expense of life! Kids eating these pods and dying.
