Amazon Brand – Presto! Triple Action Dishwasher Pacs, Fresh Scent, 90 Count

Great Value & Excellent Cleaning Power
I’m really impressed with the Amazon Brand Presto! Triple Action Dishwasher Pacs. They work just as well — if not better — than the expensive name-brand pods I’ve used for years. My dishes come out spotless, glasses are clear, and there’s no leftover residue. They dissolve fully every time, even on shorter cycles, and the lemon scent is light and fresh without being overpowering. For the price and performance, these are an amazing value. I’m definitely sticking with these from now on.

Easy to use, effective, and a decent value
The form factor isn’t the greatest, but the product is very effective. We normally use FINISH Classic tabs because they keep for a very long time. These were on sale, so I decided to give them a shot.Upon initial inspection, a few of the pods arrived stuck together. The fluid components appeared to have mixed with one another because the yellow side was green in a small number of pods.We carefully segregated the stuck-together and mixed fluid pods to use in our machine first, and they worked without fail. No issues with undissolved detergent or noticeable residue. We try not to use the heat dry cycle to save on energy, so I’m not in a good position to evaluate for streak or spot-free drying ability.The product is easy to use, and is less expensive than similar brand name products. I failed to take into account the pods’ shelf life with possible fluid leakage over time. Those living in more humid clmates should consider storing these in an air tight container.Overall, these Presto! Brand dishwasher pods meet our needs well, and the price is fair with Subscribe & Save deliveries.

Works great.
I’m impressed. I’ve been in the habit of including a teaspoon of detergent powder as a prewash, so this review includes that step. I put a casserole dish with baked on cheese, enchilada sauce, etc, and the dish came out completely clean (no pre-wash or pre-soak). Greasy/oily dishes have come out “squeaky clean”. Works just as well as other brands, but on sale the price was much lower.

Not Really A Value
I was on the hunt for an alternative to the brand name pacs I usually picked up at my membership store when a deal came up for these Presto! Triple Action Dishwasher Pacs. I saw all the great reviews & made my purchase. Upon first opening I noticed 2 things off the bat. 1) there was not the gross plastic-y smell that was turning me off (the reason I was seeking an alternative. The dishwasher would smell like the pacs all the time and sometimes it lingered on dishes, especially anything silicone); 2) these pacs were MUCH smaller than the other brand. I just happened to have a full dishwasher waiting to be cleaned and put the Presto! Pacs to use. I was delighted when I approached the finished load and was not bowled over by the pungent plastic-y smell that I was usually greeted with. A tiny bit of that smell lingered, but was pleased that the Presto! Pacs were getting rid of that stench. I cannot say that I was overly impressed with the cleaning ability, but it wasn’t bad. Just not what I thought it should have been for a “light” load and all the rave reviews. After about my 3rd load I noticed that my glasses were getting foggy. The next load I used 1 of the brand name pacs and that seemed to get rid of the fogging. Many more loads later this is what I have found: 1 Presto! Pac is not enough for heavy/dirty dirty loads., but using 2 Pacs clouds everything up, at least with my hard water. The Pacs do a better job if you get your water hot prior to running the dishwasher. I usually set the timer on the dishwasher to go off at night, so if I remember I’ll run the load manually after getting the water hot, which does seem to help a bit with both cleaning & fogging., but less convenient. However, I still need to use the other brand for the dirtier loads and then just every once and awhile to help remove the buildup that the Presto! Pacs leave behind. While it would be nice to have a nice lemon scent I must say that I prefer this almost no scent over a bad scent. Yes, if you take a big whiff of the pac you can smell a detergent and artificial lemon scent, but nothing odious, especially after use. For me, these are not a good value. First, they were only 1-2 pennies a pac cheaper than what I paid for the big brand, which did an amazing job with a horrible scent. I read a number of comments about people having to use 2 pacs, so that actually makes these more expensive (even when getting on sale & you aren’t purchasing the name brand at a membership store) and then you have to use a rinse aid to help with the film left behind. So, not much value. I do think that I can find something better out there that doesn’t stink (like the great working but smelly name brands) and does a good job. Until then I am happy to use these up as they allow me to use up the stinky pacs that no longer smell up everything because of using far and few in between. I probably would not recommend to a friend.
