Dishwasher tabs

I just use the Aldi all in one. Fabulous n no need for salt or rinse aid.

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

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

I use lidl W5 Classic Tablets, Lidl rinse aid,and Lidl W5 salt
Dishes are lovely and clean and no smears on glasses
All cheap

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.

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.

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.

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""

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

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

The man who came to fix my dishwasher years ago said it doesn't matter what you use but you should always use the matching rinse aid etc. I use washing soda to clean mine.

Yes I stick with powder, I like to vary amount and never liked idea of handling tablet... so powerful on skin. I do find it hard to source powder though. Certainly beats tablet for value. I found Rinseaid last week in Aldi.

I alternate good on offer and Tescos value..don't really see a lot of difference..as neither unload/load! Which report suggested there was a difference but....

Hi, I always use powder much cheaper than the tabs which don't dissolve fully in my dishwasher. It last for ages and does a great job at half the price of the well known brands.

Aldi Magnum chez moi. They seem to work well.

use Tesco own (not economy,they not so good) £5 for 60 job done,but they don't load/unload either..

Alea. You ask: how do we, intelligent women, get conned by retailers ?
Too much money.

I buy the super duper ones when they are on offer so sometimes it is impossible to shut the door under the sink and other times I start to panic that we will run out.

Isn't it a bit too cold to be talking Magnums now - I thought they were only for Wimbledon watching, gaga!

I use the Finish Classic ones which I normally can get at a good price - and also rinse aid and salt. I read some time ago that the all in ones do not always release the right ingredient at the right time but the separate bits do as released by the section of the cycle the machine has reached. Before I leave the house for any trips I put a cleaning thingy through and then leave the door slightly ajar - held by a tea towel.

I tend to look out for special offers in Waitrose - yes,they do have them sometimes - and stock up with whatever I know to be effective. We are lucky enough to have soft water, so salt is unnecessary though I use rinse aid if/when I remember.

I always use Aldi Magnum ones - not the ordinary Aldi ones as they are not as good. The Magnum ones got a "Which" best buy and are excellent. And cheap.

I put a small bowl (that's what Gu pots are good for!) of vinegar in the empty dishwasher every now and again and do an intense cycle. Sparkles when I'm done. Also gave up using the branded products ages ago (much to Himself's disgust). He is a marketer's dream...

Living in a very hard water area, we use salt and rinse aid as well as the tabs with red bits in the middle, have tried other combinations, but that is what works best here. We always compare the tiny info labels at the supermarket ( on the shelf) which tells you how much each individual tab is,
This way you are sure of the best deal.If you are lucky enough to live in a soft water area, you can probably get away with much cheaper ones.

I used to love the Co-op own brand but they discontinued the premium ones and the ordinary ones just don't cut it. I will have to try Aldi.

Apparently a mug of white vinegar and a warm wash will clean your dishwasher but I wouldn't know, I'm not allowed to use ours as I do it all wrong!
