Any reason not to buy really cheap dishwasher tablets?

[yellowflowers]

Branded ones in Sainsburys are about a fiver, Sainsburys basic about £1.50 - presumably they work the same way though?

tesco value ones here, everything seems clean enough.
I do keep the salt topped up periodically, but have never used rinse aid.

I used cheap Waitrose ones and they were fine.

We are currently using the Aldi ones and they are ok, but a couple of items have come out a bit less than shiny - I am not the world's best stacker tho!

Tescos came out top of a Which review.
I tried them and they were rubbish, went back to Finish as would have to sort out the clean stuff from dirty and leave half the stuff in for the next wash!

I bought some from the pound shop and they were crap-tiny bits of food still on plates, chalky feel and look to most things, glasses really muddy looking. I've gone back to Waitrose Essentials which are great.

Actually you always need salt, the resin in the machine needs it apparently.

I use tesco daisy powder. V cheap and cleans everything well.

I aggree that if your machine works well you dont need expensive tablets, I'm not up for paying for the CEO of unilever to buy a yacht.
