I have always bought the "best" all singing, all dancing i.e.all in one tabs/blobs for my dishwasher, assuming they were the best for the machine and for results.They always seem to be "on offer" in whichever supermarket which mitigated the extortionate price. £ 12 for 30 or so, ridiculous! Anyway this week found I was almost out, and shock horror they were not on special offer in Waitburys - so silly price. As I am on a bit of an economy drive I settled for the "own brand" - £4 for 30.
Any good? Brilliant cleaning, and as I use salt and rinse aid as well, I do wonder why I have let myself be ripped off all these years.
Other views?

Aldi are supposed to be the best as recommended by "Which"

I use Tesco everday brand of dishwasher tablets. Have never had any problem with them...don't scrape off food or anything.
£1.60 for 30 tabs

Just back from Aldi and they had their own (Power Force ) rinse aid. Large bottle £1:49. Hooray. It was with the salt on the end of one of the "odds and sods aisles""

have used Aldi tablets for ages and always had good results even on a "quick" wash, live in a soft water area so often don't use rinse aid.

Tried Sainsburys own brand & they always left film on glass so went back to Finish.
I do use rinse aid too do it wasn't that.

We always buy the cheapest own brand All in One tablets, and use no extra salt or rinse aid, and despite living in a hard water area, our dishes are always great. Always used to add salt and rinse aid, but now think they are a waste of money in our machine - we do have quite a new machine (about a year old) so don't know if that makes a difference.

I never use the expensive ones. Either Aldi, Waitrose eco zone or Asda own brand , all equally good and a fraction of the price.

Definitely Aldi Magnum, does the job brilliantly and at a fraction of the price of popular brands. And Good Housekeeping recommend them!
