Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?
The results were as good as we get from Finish Quantum tablets (and other premium competitors) but left the freshest smell we've ever had from a dishwasher tablet.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?
The results were better than the supermarket brand we have been most recently using. Glasses in particular were shinier. Dishes were comparable with results from other premium brands, the machine itself looked cleaner than with other premium brands but this could be the fresh smell tricking my eyes!

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals. If so, why? If not, why not?
I definitely choose to use cleaning products with fewer chemicals both in terms of care for the environment and wanting my family to have as low an exposure to chemicals as possible. However, with dishwasher tablets I still need the product to clean effectively otherwise the environmental bonus of fewer chemicals is outweighed by the extra energy used in re-doing the wash.

Q4. Do you think you'd be likely to buy it again in future?
The RRP is pretty expensive, especially as we have a slimline machine so tablets in general are more expensive for us. Have any manufacturers thought about addressing this and producing smaller tablets for slimline machines? I would definitely buy them if they were on offer or perhaps have some to use in particularly dirty loads or to give the machine a fresh wash.

Q5. I would definitely recommend these to friends and family.

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?
I really liked them. They smelt really nice but not overpowering, and they cleaned brilliantly. I loved the idea of less chemicals too - it's always seemed a bit self defeating to go out of our way to buy organic products, but then to use chemically tablets in the dishwasher!

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?
Brilliant. The dishes actually sparkled! I use a combination of Aldi own and the "bigger" brands when they're on offer. There was no residue on the glasses which is our biggest complaint usually.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes - as in Question 1.

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes - if they're on offer I will stock up. They're too expensive for me to afford on a regular basis, so I will do what I have been doing with Powerball etc and buying during offers and then using them 1-2 times a week in combination with Aldi ones on other days. I'm also going to start cutting them in half!

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?
Definitely - especially to those who already use Powerball/Quantum etc.

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?
Very very good - but far too expensive!

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?
Absolutely excellent! Miles better than the usual Fairy or Finish Quantum- we are fickle and buy whichever is on

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?
Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?
Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?
Very very good - but far too expensive!

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?
Absolutely excellent! Miles better than the usual Fairy or Finish Quantum- we are fickle and buy whichever is on special offer. These Power and Pure tablets leave no residue, squeaky clean dishes, smells fresh but not overpowering. Really impressive.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?
In theory I guess so, however it's not something I've given much thought.

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?
If on offer definitely. In fact I picked up two packs today as they're £6 in wilkinsons and we are so impressed! Not done that very often whilst product testing!

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?
Yes abd already have! Two colleagues are converts after I gave them a couple to try out!

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?

They were smaller than the usual brand, and they worked very well.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?

Just as effective. We've used basic Finish before and they've not worked as well as Fairy, but the Fairy tabs are almost double the size so I assumed it was that, plus a lot of baking and roasting etc in this house and very full loads. These ones did as good a job.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?

I was warned by a biochemistry researcher we once had as a lodger never to wash wooden spoons in a dishwasher, as they will absorb detergents and transfer them to food. That unsettled me a bit, and these days we wash a lot of plastic items in there, as we have kids. I'd assume plastic absorbs more than ceramics and metal, too.

Having said that, "chemicals" is a bit of a loose term. I'd like to use fewer with bad effects on the environment and us, definitely, which was why I tried to use Ecover (unfortunately, they didn't get stuff clean enough to persevere). The chemical Finish seem to have removed I looked up and it's actually not that harmful, either on us or on rivers, but I suppose less of anything is good? Most of the ingredients are identical in Finish and Fairy, though, according to the breakdown. I suppose it's the formulation that differs.

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yeah, I would, if they were on offer and Fairy weren't (I tend to bulk buy dishwasher tabs when they are, because they're so expensive as a rule). They're just as effective in our machine, which other brands haven't been before. I don't know enough of the biochemistry to know how much better they are than standard, but removing any detergent elements to reduce those needed is presumably a good idea, and these actually do the job. Eco-friendly ones I've tried don't.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?

On the grounds they worked, yes. I'm not sure I'm totally sold on their being any healthier/greener than most mainstream options, though. If Finish want people to buy them on those grounds then they need to provide more information on how and why they're different. I mean, everything's a chemical. Water is made up of chemicals and so are we. It isn't "fewer chemicals" that convinced me as much as losing one named type altogether, without increasing the load elsewhere. I'd like to know why they did that and what benefit they hoped it would have, outside marketing.

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?
loved the smell of them totally different to all other dishwasher cleaners I've used really fresh:) Fantastic at getting rid of stubborn dirt and dishes looked a lot sparklier than others tablets used! Happy Bunny here

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?
Much better finish excellent......clean and smear free!

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?
I suppose they are much better for the environment but to be fair I just want something that works! I will be shamefully honest that I don't always think of the environmental impact:(

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?
I will buy them again but only on offers, as they are too pricey for me to use on a regular basis full price:( just simply cant afford them!

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?
Without a doubt, but we don't really hit this topic in general conversations hehe! might give it a whirl to see what reaction I get though.................

Q1. Overall impression was good, they got everything clean. Tbh, I only really notice if dishwasher tabs don't clean very well, then I make a mental note not to buy them again!

Q2. Actually, now that I think of it, they might have been - I noticed that our glassware was less marked. Maybe. A bit.

Q3. I am always happy to use fewer chemicals and more ecologically sound products, but tbh, not if they are massively more expensive. I just don't have the budget for it.

Q4. I would buy them whenever they are on special offer. Or if I win the lottery.

Q5. Sure. But it's not a conversation I'm likely to have...

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?

I preferred the clean (rather than chemical) smell on opening the dishwasher, they clean very effectively and I liked that my glasses weren't left with a horrid chemical scent.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?

I like to buy Finish Quantum when on offer and these compare favourably. Glasses definitely came out clearer and they did a great job of cleaning baked on cheese and egg.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes, I would prefer to use tablets with fewer chemicals. My initial observation was that they're paler in colour which sets them apart from regular Quantum tablet, but are dyes really necessary at all?

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes, when on offer.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?

Yes.

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?

Nice, clean simple packaging. I like the smell and the non sticky plastic capsule covers.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?

See, I never use Finish, even if it's on offer. In the past, I've found it to be inferior in cleaning and chalky residues it has left.

This Finish however, is really rather good. I'm impressed and very pleased. All crockery is sparkling with no residues. Great stuff.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?

Absolutely. I hate to think how much domestic effluent we are contributing to the environment.

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes, when on offer. I think dishwasher tablets are a complete con at 19-23p per tablet.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?

Yes.

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?

I love the packaging, very clean and simple, wrapping excellent - can you please change the wording to 'fewer chemicals' (on the packaging as well as the TV ad) - there is just no excuse for an error like that!

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?

Very good - I have been scraping the plates less before putting them in the machine, having items that would usually stain such as tomato soup and curry, and it has washed everything beautifully with no residue, and leaves everything very sparkly. I think it is noticeably better than the Finish Powerball tablets I was using before starting the test packet.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?

Of course it's nice to use fewer chemicals, balanced against results.

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?

I would if it was on offer, way too expensive at £12/27 - I usually aim to get dishwasher tablets for around 10-12p each (special offers).

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?

Yes, I would - excellent product, just a bit expensive.

Thank you very much for the free sample!

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?

excellent, like the tablets in resealable bag and they were visible. No hassle of unwrapping the tablet either.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?

I found them just as effective and the lack of chemical smell when opening dishwasher

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?

yes i prefer less chemicals in most products so this a pull factor for me as it may be better for the environment and rivers and no artificial smell. it may be gentler on my crockery!

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?

it would depend on price, i do tend to bulk buy this sort of product in Costco. I would want to use these again and maybe would pay slightly more

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?

Yes as they are a good product, smell pleasant and do the job without loads of chemicals.

Q1.
They look stylish and unique as they offer less chemicals which is a great usp
Q2.
I found they worked better , my glasses were streak free and the dishwasher looked cleaner after using it

Q3.
I think knowing less chemicals are not only being used less for the environment but its great to know my eating utensils have been exposed to less.
Q4.
I would buy however they are very expensive so would only buy on offer

Q5.
Yes 100%

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?

I liked that you put the whole thing in, 'bag' and all - that saved a bit of faff and mess. I also liked the resealable bag for the tabs, and liked the fact it was plastic, so water-resistant. But writing this, makes me want to check whether the bag itself is recyclable - I want it to be, given the blurb about less chemicals.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?

I seem to be the lone voice of dissent here, as I don't find them as effective as my normal tabs (Aldi, usually). On a normal wash they were equally as good, and possibly a bit shinier, but on a short wash - which is what i usually use - they were nowhere near as effective. They failed to deal with that morning's weetabixed bowl, and glasses and mugs in that wash were left with a white residue/bloom. I do live in a very hard water area, could that be relevant?

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?

I would very much prefer to use a product with the lowest eco-impact, but it is one of a set of consideration factors - others being effectiveness, price etc.

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?

Not sure, tbh. I will continue the trial of course, but if they don't magically get more effective on my short wash, then no i won't, and I will likely go back to my Aldi tabs.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?

I'd be honest. I could talk about the chemical bit, but I would also say they I have not found them as effective.

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?

I liked them, they look a bit ‘space-age’ and as though they’ll be efficient.
I liked the fragrance.
I really liked not having to unwrap them as I’m a bit freaky about touching dishwasher tablets, I figure they must have some pretty hefty chemicals in them to get dishes so clean.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?

I usually buy whatever is on offer and was using Morissons own brand before trying these. I definitely noticed a difference, glasses looked more sparkly and the bowls with dried-on, rock-hard cereal (which have languished under my teenagers’ beds since the dawn of time) washed clean without me having to soak them first.
I felt the machine looked cleaner and smelled fresher.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes I would. I have a Septic Tank and the fewer strong chemicals going in there the better it functions.

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?

I liked these tablets, they worked very well and I would definitely buy again if the price compared well with what else was on offer. I would be prepared to pay a little more for this product but at the current price there would probably be other much cheaper but equally effective options.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?

Yes, lots of my friends are very concerned about the number of chemicals we use in our homes and this aspect of the tablets would definitely interest them.

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?
It was very good.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?
It was very effective.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would prefer to use tablets with fewer chemicals because the fewer the better.

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?
Depends on the price.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?
Yes.

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?

They smelled nice and the plastic covering meant I didn't get covered in powder like I usually do!

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?

I didn't really notice a huge difference to be honest. The smell when opening the dishwasher after the cycle had finished was nice though.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?

I do try and cut down on the amount of chemicals I use around the home but it would all be price dependent. I can afford to spend out tons just to get a product that does the same job but has fewer chemicals. If I could get them on offer then I would buy again.

Q4. Do you think youd be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?

If they were on offer, then yes.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?

Probably not to be honest. I only really recommend to family and friends if I've been amazed by a product. Whilst Finish Power & Pure had a nice fragrance, it isn't really the purpose of the product, is it?

Apologies for late feedback, but mine only arrived Saturday.
Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?

The packet was familiar, I liked the all in one tablet with no additional packaging.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?

I usually buy Fairy, Persil or Finish depending on what's on offer when I go shopping, however I felt that these performed well, especially as I decided not to top up the rinse aid and salt, that despite claims, most all in one tablets still need.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?

I can't say that it is something that I had given much thought to, which considering I do try to buy cleaning products with less chemicals and environmentally friendly ingredients is a bit odd. But yes, I would prefer to have less chemicals in the dishwashing tablets that I buy.

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes I would buy again, unfortunately due to family budgets I will still be buying what ever has the best offer on when I need to top up, but if these were on offer I would buy and stock up.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?

Yes I would recommend. I wouldn't start the conversation, but if for some reason we ere discussing the subject I would whole heartedly recommend them.

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?

Look good - like the packaging. My 19 month old tried to eat them after throwing them all over the floor - yum! yum! They are good enough to eat. Lesson learnt - place in higher cupboard!

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?

Good but my glasses appeared smeary.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes - like anything that uses less chemicals. Probably quite lucky as 19th month old tried to eat them!

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?

Not sure - yes if on offer but not at £12

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?

Yes - less chemicals

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?

Really neat packaging which didn't take up a lot of space under the sink and the plastic casing looked sturdy and unlikely to leak into the pack.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?

Very effective - I haven't had to rewash anything and I've become slightly cavalier about what I put into the machine as a result. -- It has removed egg, porridge, lentil soup and peanut butter - (all of which usually have varying degrees of success!)

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?

I suppose it's important - but not something I'd really considered before - they cleaned well, smelt fresh and the inside of the dishwasher seems very shiny!

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?

I would definitely buy it again - I'd be looking for it on offer though as I wouldn't pay £12 for dishwasher tabs!

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?

Absolutely - I stopped buying finish tablets because they frequently didn't dissolve properly - These were excellent and cleaned better than the Fairy ones I usually buy (on offer|!)

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?
It was great, particularly liked the lack of bulky packaging and lack of strong chemical smell.
Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets? Probably better than my normal brand.
Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not? Anything that reduces chemicals is to be welcomed!
Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not? Yes, I will buy them in the future.
Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family? Yes, I will definitely recommend them.

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?
These are a work of art and look good enough to eat. Clearly I wouldn’t, but they are some of the most aesthetically pleasing dishwasher tablets that I have ever seen! They smell nice too.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?
I tend to use the short cycle on my dishwasher. I would be interested to know which cycle the other testers used as to be quite honest I did not notice much difference to my usual dishwasher tablets (Sainsbury’s basic) apart from appearance of course. The dishwasher seems cleaner but a lot of the plates were covered in grit and some glasses sparkled but some had residue on them. Maybe I was expecting too much!

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?
I found myself pondering more on the actual grammar in this sentence rather than what it’s saying. The Finish packaging states “get the outstanding clean and shine that you expect from Finish but with less chemicals. Our special formula has no added phosphonates and less dyes and allergens”
On looking up when to use fewer or less I found that “use fewer if you’re referring to people or things in the plural (e.g. houses, newspapers, dogs, students, children).
Use less when you’re referring to something that can’t be counted or doesn’t have a plural (e.g. money, sand, water, air, time, music, rain).

Anyway I have digressed from the question which states that Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals. However, on checking my Sainsbury’s basic box the composition is virtually identical. The Sainsbury’s box states it contains ‘less than 5% non – ionic surfactants and polycarbonxylates whereas the Finish states it contains less than 5 – 15% of these ingredients (of which I have no idea what they are except that I assume they come under the guise of ‘chemicals’). Finish is trying to sell itself as having fewer chemicals yet appears to have more than the basic brand.

All in all I’m not sure whether not so many chemicals would be a good thing or bad thing – as someone else said in this thread everything is made up of chemicals, even water.

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?
It’s a dishwasher tablet, so not at the rrp. I tend to go for value for money not for an advertising gimmick about fewer, or less as Finish state, chemicals.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?
I might mention that they look nice, a designer brand in the dishwasher tablet world. However, the hype didn’t match the result. I think they could be good for glasses but some of my dinner stained plates still emerged from the dishwasher gritty.

Sorry, that was a bit of an epic post!

Thank you very much for letting me join in this product test x

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?
Rather expensive, understated smell. Liked the packaging and that it's packed flat as this will mean less transport costs. Tablet seem a better fit in the little dimple in the dispenser than the squidgy square liquid tabs. Disappointed the pack was damaged in transit.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?
Very effective, but no better than our usual premium store brand. did slightly better though on dried on food particles and egg.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?
Would prefer to use ones with a lower ecological and carbon impact, but would like to know how that's measured. "fewer chemicals" is a bit too vague. Could mean four powerful chemicals rather than five mild chemicals which could actually be more environmentally damaging.

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?

No, too expensive per wash for not a vastly better result. Would buy only if on offer as that's generally how we buy our tablets currently.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?

Not really. I's unlikely to come up, but if it did it would be a No on the basis of the woolly and unsubstantiated fewer chemical claims. Would need better comparison before making a recommendation on those grounds.

This was from my husband who does most of the dishwashing. From my POV, I thought they were better on a quick wash and with dishes that had been sitting waiting to be done all day. It even got some cemented on weetabix off and scrambled egg from an ancient (slighty furry at the end) wooden spoon. Still No on the buying them fron, unless they were on a seriously good offfer ad they are hugely more expensive than other brands, but not massively better performers.

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?
Generally positive. The tablets looked slightly washed out but performed effectively. I liked the fact that the tablets are ready to use with no fiddling about with individual wrapping.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?
I was very pleased with the performance. I've been using these for over a week, for various types of loads, different settings and the P&P have performed consistently well, cleaning all items effectively.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would prefer to use fewer chemicals due to the potential environmental impact.

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, I will definitely repurchase although I tend to be led by offers and promotions and would not be prepared to pay the full RRP for the Power & Pure.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?
Yes. It cleans effectively, leaves a pleasant scent in the machine and doesn't leave any residue on dishes, so I will be happy to recommend this to others.

Q1. What was your overall impression of Finish Power and Pure?
It looked very much like the other versions of Finish - good, solid packaging that won't disintegrate and can be resealed easily.

Q2. How effective did you find Finish Power and Pure compared to your usual dishwasher tablets?
I was very brave and I didn't rinse a few items: a greasy dish used for cottage pie, a cheesy plate, and a tea stained mug. All the items came out sparkling and I know from previous experience, when my husband didn't rinse properly, our other tablets would not have got all the stains off. So well done Finish.

I would have included before and after pics but that is not enabled for this thread.

Q3. Finish Power and Pure is made with fewer chemicals, would you prefer to use dishwasher tablets with fewer chemicals? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, of course, as long as the chemical that are used are less harmful than the other chemicals that might be used.

Q4. Do you think you’d be likely to buy it again in future? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes but only when they are on offer. They work well but £12 is too expensive.

Q5. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Finish Power and Pure to friends and family?
Yes, definitely.
