Hi all, firstly thanks to many of you for wanting me to make a #detergentcomparision video. Sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience.
As the title suggests, this video is a comparative study of #dishwasherdetergents and #tablets. It's a comprehensive video in which I have compared these on the basis of various parameters.
This whole research has taken me 3 months. I've been running the 29 minutes quick cycle or the 1 hr 25 min eco vario cycle for the cleaning of dishes daily. Also I've tried to maintain almost the same kind of greasy utensils and similar load so as to arrive at a conclusion. I kept noting down the type of load(dishes), the wash cycle, the detergent or tablet used and the final outcome, i.e. the wash quality. I gave a rating to each wash on a percentage basis. After 3 months I've arrived at the above results by taking the average based on various parameters.
Actually I even recorded the different programme cycles showing use of different tablets and detergents and have made videos of the same. Since I found it difficult to incorporate in these video clippings, I am uploading those separately.
Since the comparision is between 3 detergents and 3 tablets, the video is very elaborate and almost of 15 minutes duration. I couldn't have done justice if it was to be kept shorter.
So I would request all those of you who genuinely want to know about the availability, cost, efficiency and many more things about these different detergents and tablets; to watch the video till the end.
Here I have compared Finish, Fortune, IFB detergents and Finish, Fortune, Crystale tablets.
Hope you find the video helpful in choosing the detergent best suited for your use. Please watch the video and give your feedback and comments.
Please watch my other videos in the playlist.

I still can't get over the fact that dishwasher cleaning stuff in total is way more expensive than clothes washing matic stuff.

[@pushkalashivakumar2312]

I have hard water in my place. To improve the wash quality I bought a kent bathroom softener exclusively for the dishwasher. Inspite of it, there is a white layer forming on the utensils after wash. I am using Bosch all in one tablets along with finish salt and rinse aid. The settings for salt and rise aid is in the maximum. But even with all these things, the white layer on the utensils have not gone.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi Pushkala, I feel by using water softener, tablets and keeping salt and rinse aid setting at maximum, all at the same time, you could be overdoing it. If the water being fed is on the softer side, then salt and rinse can be minimum or even zero. Using water softener and tablets is OK, but in that case keep the settings of salt and rinse aid at 01 and try for some days. Not just one or two cycles but for 10 or 15 days. Based on the results, you can increase these settings or decrease. Thanks.

[@sunnichka21]

Hi Bhuvana Ma’am I am about a month old with my Bosch dishwasher. I am using fortune brand of all the three additives. The only one available in my area. As per a previous question I have also reduced my salt and shine aid to solve the bubbling / foaming of drinking water ( it is less but not gone )Now I am noticing that on short cycle which I normally use since I have aluminium and plastic in each wash the upper surface of any ridged container gets filled up with water with a lot of dark particles I do clean the filters on a daily basis And my water is soft. Can you suggest a solution??

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi Amit, there is nothing to worry about this. In the short cycle the rinse time being less, the water with dirt etc. which is supposed to get washed away settles in these dishes which have ridges on the top. You can just drain it off and if required rinse it under the tap.

[@its_MSR]

@bhuvana Adi, Do we need anything in addition to Finish dishwasher salt, as we need 3 products from IFB when we use powder ?

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi maninder, Besides salt, we have to fill rinse aid. These 2 are to be filled into the respective compartments and refilled again when the low level indicator lights. We have to use detergent powder for every wash cycle. All manufacturers recommend their own consumables. IFB recommends their own detergent, salt and rinse aid. Finish is recommended by most dishwasher makes in the world. Thanks.

[@j.s.188]

Thank you for the detailed comparison. I did watch a couple of your videos before finalising the dishwasher & it did help a lot. I am from Mumbai & get soft water from BMC. Got my Siemens 12 place setting dishwasher last week & have a few queries. Is there any particular reason as to why you choose Finish over crystale tablets even when crystale tablets are cheaper & give good results? Why doyou still prefer Finish? Also I would like to know the cleaning difference you have found between Finish Powerball classic, Finish Powerball Max all in one & Finish quantum.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi J.S., sorry for the late reply. Finish was recommended by Bosch at the time of my purchasing 9 years ago and till recently as well. That is the reason I'm still continuing with Finish products. Moreover I find using the combination of detergent+salt+rinse aid more effective and cheaper for me(my kind of dishes and the degree of their soiling) than using tablets even if it is Crystale which also gives me good cleaning. In fact, I reserve using tablets - Crystale or Finish for either Intensive or Auto cycles and detergent combo for others. Each variant of tablets have different ingredients to enable cleaning and protection of glass, steel etc. The cleaning also accordingly improves - more the ingredients you get better cleaning, more shine, more protection to dishes etc. Classic Powerball is the same or slightly better than the det+salt+RA combo. All in one still better and I would rate the Quantum Max the best among all the variants of Finish and also the other brands that I have used. One more reason I am not able to stick to any brand other than Finish is also because I experiment a lot with various brands on request from viewers, and also for my knowledge and understanding, that Finish remains the main reference point for me and also I am happy with its cleaning results. Hope I have cleared all your doubts by my answers. Sorry for the delay.

[@j.s.188]

@@BhuvanaAdi Thanks for your detailed reply. I did buy vim & finish tablets to try but within a month of using the dishwasher, I too have realised that using detergent + salt+ rinse aid works a lot cheaper & gives excellent results for me with soft water supply at our place. This way I can easily control & use less salt & rinse aid per cycle as per my needs since I mainly use the Quick cycle currently.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

You're right. Ideally for soft water; combination of detergent salt, rinse aid works out best both cleaning and cost wise, than using tablets. Especially in a place like Mumbai with very soft water, tablets need not be used at all. This is my personal opinion knowing, about the water in Mumbai. I generally don't thrust this opinion on people. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you very much!

[@ahmadbelal14]

Hi ma'am, Can you pls explain the use of finish cleaning lime scale salt (the one in plastic bottle.)? Also is rinse aid and dishwasher salt required with that?

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi Belal. I've shown how to use salt and rinse aid in the dishwasher in another video. Salt is used so that no limescale is formed on dishes, by softening the water. Salt has to be used to protect the machine from damage in case your water is hard. Rinse aid is used for drying dishes this giving spotless cleaning results. I've uploaded many topics on dishwashers and made a playlist of the same, which I'm sharing below. Please to through the other videos to get to know more on dishwasher usage.

[@mayak2676]

2 years on have you noticed any changes in the quality & efficiency of the various detergent/tablets that would change their ratings. E.g. have you noticed any change in the quality & efficiency of Fortune detergent &tablet? Any new detergents/tablets that could make entry into this table? Maybe an updated table😊

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Thanks Maya, may be I'll add/refresh the table, but not immediately.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi Vidya, detergents and tablets are not yet available online. You watch this video of a dishwasher detergent substitute, which I uploaded few days back, see the link below. Hope it helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKqamaagfNWWbJo Thank you.

[@sureshbabu-fy4yr]

Hello madam. We bought the Bosch dishwasher 10 days ago. we are using auto & eco program but after washing the dishes if I fill water in a tumbler or in a vessel from aquaguard the water will be full of bubbles & sopy bubbles around the vessel . I am using ifb dishwash powder, ifb rinse aid bosch salt & we are having corporation water not bore water & I don't know what is the problem and also I asked the technician he is telling use only finish products .I think you may help me .

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi Suresh Babu, since you have mentioned you're using corporation water, the water must be very soft but I would like to know your salt and rinse aid settings. Because much depends on these settings. For soft water salt can be at H01 and rinse aid at r01. Sometimes if you use more detergent for a shorter program, the dishes will be soapy. Correct quantity of detergent has to be used based on the degree of soiling based on which a suitable program has been selected. Check these while running the cycle for a day or two and let me know. Thank you.

[@sureshbabu-fy4yr]

Yes thank you mam, I changed the setting( h. 2 ) &( R. 2) & even i decreced the detergent little day by day and now my dishes r fine. Thank you very much mam

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Thanks a lot

[@raghuramanramachandran5648]

Thanks for the clear and comprehensive analysis video, Madam. We have been using dishwasher for about 6 years now. Initial 4 years, we used Finish - excellent wash quality but slightly costly. Switched over to IFB - cost effective but less wash quality! During this lockdown, we don't get Finish anywhere - online or supermarkets. So, continuing with IFB powder. It's available in its site and no major complaints! But we prefer Finish due to its overall superiority. Only powder, we have never used any tablets so far. Thanks once again, Madam🙏

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Thanks for your appreciation and thanks for sharing your experience. Yes Finish indeed is superior but it's very expensive too. Please watch my video on detergent Substitute which I uploaded 4 days back, as many viewers were asking me for a substitute in this period of lockdown when online sales weren't selling them as part of essentials. Sharing the link below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKqamaagfNWWbJo Hope you find this simple and safe temporary substitute useful. Thank you.

@@BhuvanaAdi Thanks for your kind response Madam. IFB dishwasher detergent is available now and we use it. The wash results are good. Regards.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

That's good to know. I always maintain that the detergent and it's cleaning efficiency much depends on water quality. What suits and gives results for one, may not be the same for others. If you're satisfied this brand, then you should stick to it. Thank you for sharing.

[@nm3940]

In lg, finish powder in turbo program not dissolved properly and hence white stains on the dishes.... What is the solution mam? I have to change the program or anything?

[@BhuvanaAdi]

@NM, you have not mentioned what is your water hardness and your salt and rinse aid settings. Detergent brand is best chosen based on the quality of one's water. And if the detergent powder is not fully dissolved, the reasons could be quite a few. Detergent powder itself is moist and lumpy, detergent chamber has water, excess detergent used for the program or the degree of soiling of dishes, etc. Please check and take care of the above issues and your problem should get solved. Thanks.

[@Meenusadasivam]

Thanks... Becz I purchased dishwasher recently

[@s.n.r1476]

Hi madam thanks for the clarification. V brought bosch recently, can v get natural detergents or lesser chemical ingredients detergent. One more important doubt is rinse aid is compulsion, can v use only detergent. Plz advise , thanks in advance

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi S N Raju, thanks for the query. I can understand your concern regarding the chemicals in the detergent, rinse aid, etc. I am not aware of any natural or lesser chemical ingredients available in the market and that are approved by the dishwasher manufacturers. I believe something must be available if you search online. I have been using only the branded detergents available. Detergent does not stay on the utensils as there is a rinse cycle where the utensils get rinsed after washing. And as a habit, I just wash all utensils under tap water for a few seconds before use. This is just to ensure that any left over detergent (if any) does not reach our food. Thanks. Rinse aid use is not compulsory. It only helps in giving extra shine and also in drying of the dishes by preventing water droplet formation. You can choose to keep the rinse aid setting zero and not use rinse aid. Thank you.

Hi due to lockdown there is no Bosh dishwasher tablets available. I somehow managed to get Finish detergent classic (1st bottle). But when I ran the cycle it started to erode my utensils. Any idea on it.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi Angad, Sorry to hear about that. Yeah there is difficulty in getting dishwasher consumables during lockdown. You are lucky that you got one bottle of Finish detergent. Finish generally gives good cleaning results. I am sorry I did not understand what you meant by eroding of utensils. This is the first time I am hearing of such a thing. May be you could share some photos in my email [e-mail]. I could try to help. I presume here that you are aware of the water hardness in your house and have set the salt setting accordingly. A lot of the cleaning issues can be addressed if the water hardness aspect is suitably taken care of. Thanks.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi Lolita, Since you say your water is hard I would recommend using salt and rinse aid with minimum setting even while using Crystale tablet. Based on the cleaning results, you could either increase or decrease the settings. Please watch my video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKibnZhpd56qbtU Thanks.

Hi Deepak, today there are many brands in the market to choose from. From my experience Finish detergent with salt and rinse aid, suits soft to medium soft(not hard) water very well. You can choose any from these brands - Finish, Fortune, Bosch, Vim etc. based on your budget. Hope this helps.

It's good information but in my bosch dishwasher the table does not give good results in the cooker and kadia etc hard vessels its mostly colour with flams same as a kept on gas stove so plz which is good in cooker types hard vessal

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi Jyoti, have you kept the correct setting of salt and rinse aid based on your water hardness? This could happen if water is hard and you are using a high temperature program. . Try to run the Eco program. Also you can use detergent with salt and rinse aid instead of tablet.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi, I've used Finish Classic tablets and they have given me good cleaning results. Yes the Quantum max gives amazing cleaning in any cycle because it has a few additional ingredients. In case you use Finish Classic tablets, you may have to use rinse aid and salt if your water is hard. Else you can reduce the setting to the minimum. If your water is very soft then you can try without rinse aid and salt. Based on the results you can adjust the settings. Hope I've made the point clear.

The Finish table - is it that perfect? Apart from the price and availability they have no scope for improvement in their cleaning ability?

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi, the analysis on various detergents and tablets and the conclusion drawn from it, is solely on my usage in my dishwasher based on water quality in my area and the type of dishes I load. This can vary depending on water quality. Right from beginning I've been using Finish and getting good results, though I know that it is far expensive as compared to the other brands available. From my experience, Finish and Crystale both work fine for me. People have to decide on their own as to which suits their water and machine best, by trial and error and research which I've done a lot in my 8½ years of using a dishwasher. Hope this answers your question. Thank you

[@aj_actuarial_ca]

Thank u so much for this great video made with so much effort. I had been using Finish since long but now switched over to Crystale Got a new Crystale packet today. There's 1 more issue with IFB detergent Although it cleans well, in a place like Mumbai where humidity is high, the IFB detergent tends to absorb moisture and solidify.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Thanks for your appreciation Aravind. Good that you are trying out a new brand of tablets. Crystale is very good indeed. I've been using it for more than 4 years now. Nowadays you get more variants in Crystale, one of which I have started trying out. I will be coming out with a video of the same soon. You are right that detergent gets solidified in humid climates. This can be the case with any detergents, more so in the case of IFB because of the round and full open round containers of IFB, in which the detergent is totally exposed whenever you open the container, as compared to other detergents which come in containers which have a smaller opening and hence they are not much exposed to air while using. Thanks for sharing your experience. Good luck to your experiments with other detergents and tablets. Do update me on how you found the performance of the Crystale tablets. Thanks.

[@macjc5211]

I have used all brands , i feel there is some problem in your research (might be water condition changes place to place).. finish is having worst perfomance in terms of cleaning strength it leaves white spot while other 4 are far better... but thnks for your hard work and information sharing

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Thanks Mac jc, for your thoughts. You're right, whatever research I've done for a few months using these detergents are only an indicator, they are not to be followed as it is. I keep repeating in most of my videos and also in my answers to viewers' queries, that wash quality, detergent performance, consumption of detergents, salt and rinse aid, all depends on the water hardness. This result I arrived at, was in my machine, washing my different type of soiled dishes, in the water in my locality using various detergents. For me Finish gives better results than Fortune. I've mentioned that Fortune tablets are better than their detergent. Moreover this video was done almost two years back. May be the quality of some detergents would have changed/improved by now. But I still stick to using Finish or Crystale only as that gives me perfect wash. Thanks once again for sharing your views.

[@ravisuhane]

Hello mam, thanks for detailed reviews. Have you ever used crystale tablet with your LG 424 dishwasher specially in turbo And express cycle.does express/trubo cycle works with tablet ? In user manual it's written not recommended.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi Ravi, I have used Crystale tablet in LG dishwasher but only on longer cycles, not on turbo and express as they are short cycles. Tablets work best only in longer cycles as it takes time for the tablets to dissolve. This is the reason the manual also does not recommend tablets for these cycles. You can try this if you want. Watch the videos below - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn6omJuVorx5fck kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5CWcopmfqt3hpo It worked for me and could work for you too. Thanks.

[@ravisuhane]

@@BhuvanaAdimam thanks . I thought to save some electricity by using short cycles. Can you please tell me which is the shortest cycle (time ) required in LG dishwasher (I have the same model which you had) in which tablet can be used. In my experience 38 mins cycle consumed around .6 unit of electricity so I think 3 hour cycle would consume 3 units which is not economic alos so much waiting time. Thanks a lot in advance for your time and help. Your videos are really very helpful .

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi Ravi, please do not go by the time. Eco program is the most energy efficient and water conserving program cycle. Because of the sensors in the machine, the time also gets adjusted based on the amount of soiling of the dishes, thus reducing time. Both the Turbo and Express though are short programs, are not energy efficient. They consume more power and water, to complete the job which would otherwise take more time. About waiting for so much time, you can avoid that by using the delay start option and set the machine to start at a suitable time when you do not have to wait. I hope I've made myself clear.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi, from what you say I think your water must be fairly soft. I think you can try setting the salt and rinse aid level to level 2. Try washing in this setting for a few days and if it gives desired results, then continue with the same settings. Else increase or decrease by a level based on the results. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Hi Mam I have brought LG dishwasher..confused with the detergent brands and also tablets What can i go for tablets or detergent,rinse,salt? And which brand i go for? Please help am confoused

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi, sorry that you're confused about choosing the right detergent for your dishwasher. Has LG recommended any particular detergent brand? How is your water quality - hard or soft? Effective cleaning depends on that. Try any brand like Finish detergent or Crystale tablets (as they come in a small pack of 18) initially. Both are very good. Finish tablets are expensive. Also there is one variety called Clean n Fresh tablets, you can try that too. Buy one brand at a time, and try using it in various wash Cycles for different types and degree of soiled dishes and utensils. I think you can slowly understand which one suits your requirement. Also you've to learn the right quantity of detergent required,by trial and error, though initially you can start using 1 to 1&1/2 tbsp. If you're using tablet, one per wash cycle. I've also shown videos in which I've run programme cycle using half tablet. You can see that video in my channel, but try that later. I hope I was able to clear your confusion a bit. Please write to me in case of any further doubts. Thank you.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi, tablets always have an edge over detergent as they are a combination of detergents, salt, rinse aid and other special ingredients in some types like the 5 in 1. If your water quality is very good, I mean soft water, just using tablets will suffice for a good cleaning. Having said this I would like to add that tablets are way too expensive compared to detergents. Moreover it's not ideal to use a tablet for a short program cycle as it will not be fully utilised and leave behind soapy utensils. And that's the reason I recommend use of detergent to many of my viewers who have hard water supply.

[@mauliksheth4025]

Awesome efforts and review! Really helpful. Did you use rinse aid + salt along with the detergents? What kind of water do you get - hard or soft?

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Yes. I did use salt and rinse aid. But because my water is soft, both salt and rinse aid settings are at 01, which is minimum. Thanks.

[@mauliksheth4025]

@@BhuvanaAdi Since your salt and rinse setting is on minimal, but tables have more salt/rinse power, is that the reason why you getting lower efficiency with detergent compared to tablets? Also, Fortune recently seems to have some improvements based on the amazon review I read. I am sure other brands must have also made improvements. So are you planning to conduct another review with latest versions of these products?

[@BhuvanaAdi]

I wouldn't say I'm getting lower cleaning efficiency using detergents. Salt is for water softening and rinse aid is for drying and spotless cleaning, and also my setting to 01 is based on my water hardness. What I mean is, certain detergents suit certain water types. May be while making a tablet they use certain things (chemicals) which is not used in a detergent. That's why at that time I found Fortune tablet better than Fortune detergent. Because my water is soft I can actually manage without salt and rinse aid, but I keep them in the minimum and use them as in the long run it protects my machine from damage. My research on various detergents was three years ago. And at that time Fortune detergent was really not good. One who has used it at that period will understand me. You're right. Over these past years dishwasher sales has picked up and the need for consumables has increased and there is tough competition. I'm sure the earlier brands would have improved their standards. I'll definitely do reviews of Fortune, Arnigo and any other brand soon for the benefit of the viewers. Thank you.

Hi Mohini, please check the following - 1) Whether the detergent compartment is dry. Ensure it is dry while putting the detergent. 2) Hope there is no remaining detergent from previous cycle in the compartment. 3) Hope no dishes are not blocking the detergent compartment. 4) Put detergent after loading the dishes. 5) Ensure that the detergent is not wet or lumpy. If it is lumpy, break that into powder and ensure that the powder is dry. Thanks.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Yes Mansha kutty, you are right. Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids like all soaps, laundry detergents are chemicals indeed. But I have been using them and try to take precautions like just rinsing the washed utensils before use when I take them out from the shelf. There are some non chemical plant based detergents available online but I have not had a chance to use them. Regarding rinse aid, I am not aware of an effective alternative. But rinse aid is optional. You can choose not to use it. As and when any good organic dishwasher detergent comes, you can expect a review in my channel. Thanks for watching and your support.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Ankit Yadav Hi, thank you so much for your kind words of appreciation. It is people like you who keep me inspired and motivated to do such videos for the benefit of all. And my efforts seem to be fruitful. Thanks once again.😊

[@AnkitYadav-td6mg]

Another very important aspect I would like to point out (& hope you tell the viewers in your future videos) is that of the Water Quality of one's locality. At my place, I never witnessed any ill effects of hard water (particularly for laundry purposes) & in these 26 years never gave a thought about the water quality as everything seemed "normal". But while going through the manual I got the impression that water quality was of utmost significance when it comes to wash results. So, I decided to go ahead & find about the same. Fortunately, I spotted two surveys online (one being a State sponsored survey & other being by a University) wherein the water quality index for various localities of my region (35 km radius) was mentioned. Two my surprise, water quality of my locality (2 km radius) was 29° Clarke (Imperial Units) & consequently I had to set the Water Hardness setting of my dishwasher to H6 (on a scale of H1-7). Now, a few important aspects: 1) Dishwasher manufacturers advise NOT to use Tablets & Powerballs & instead recommend using Salt, Detergent, & Rinse Aid SEPARATELY, in requisite amounts, if water hardness of your locality is greater than 25° Clarke. 2) Since the dishwasher manual (of my model) provides water hardness indexes only in two units (°Clarke & millimoles/Litre) for corresponding Water Softening System Settings ("H - setting") & frequently, the available Water Surveys cite hardness mostly in SI units etc (ppm, mg/Litre etc), online converters can be used to make the requisite conversions into desired units. Also, surveys cite hardness as Calcium Hardness (Ca+2), Magnesium Hardness (Mg+2) & Total Hardness (TH); it goes without saying that the latter most is the appropriate one for our considerations 3) Water hardness often varies significantly (sometimes drastically) within the various localities (2-3 km radii) of a region (15-50 km Survey Area units) so its important to consider the water hardness for YOUR LOCALITY & not the Mean/Average of the entire region (meant for statistical purposes) Tip: Just google: " 'Your City/District Name' Water Hardness" & you should find relevant documents online for the Water Hardness in your region. 4) If your region has significant levels of water hardness, using a DESCALER once in a while is recommended to get rid of any lime scales & prolong the life of the appliance (dishwasher, washing machine, coffee makers etc)

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Ankit Yadav Thank you Ankit for your suggestion. I am very well aware of this most important aspect. I keep telling, writing in replies to my viewers all the time - both about water hardness, salt setting and also about lime scale formation. Incidentally I am in the process of making a video on TDS and how to get to know one's water hardness checked etc. and the solution to it. Because as I have told explaining through video is better than just replying. I don't know whether you've seen my other dishwasher videos. I have a whole lot of videos in the playlist of dishwasher demo videos. Since I've fairly soft water, I haven't found the need to do descaling till date. But I'm about to upload that video as well for the benefit of my viewers who keep writing about that. In case you've time please go through my other videos as well as the interactions with my viewers. Anyway thanks for your concern. I will use your points in my video, though I was thinking on the same lines for my video about water hardness. Thank you so much. Appreciate your effort to get to know things which would benefit your appliance. That's how we in our family think. We believe in prolonging the life of our appliances and gadgets and do whatever is required for that by way of basic maintenance, handing with utmost care, follow user manuals, and so on. That's why I can proudly say that all our appliances, gadgets last for A.. ...G.......E......S!! I consider this too, a way of doing your bit to the environment, in this day and age of use and throw! I'm sure you will agree with me!

[@BhuvanaAdi]

You have shared a lot of knowledge which I appreciate deeply. Although I am aware of many things, there are still lot of points like "water hardness in one's locality" and other points on which I now stand enlightened. I sincerely thank you for taking out valuable time to write on all this in detail. It is my turn to take a bow! It is sad that dishwasher companies and technicians and service personnel are seldom knowledgeable on these very important aspects and thus end up giving wrong advice to customers/users. This not only hampers the efficiency of the machine but also the product and brand as a whole some times. At most times, customers are left to research and fend for themselves. Other than mentioning about the importance of water quality and the related salt and rinse aid settings, I have not mentioned in so much detail about hardness related issues as you have shared. Thank you once again.

[@AnkitYadav-td6mg]

No mam, I was motivated to write at length only after seeing this comprehensive video & the prolonged effort put in to make it. I was surprised by meagre ratings & berating which certain people expressed regarding dishwashers on Amazon etc, which I otherwise feel are a handy appliance. I was left wondering those 5-10% people may be seeing poor results due to inappropriate Water Softening System settings. (Btw if my memory serves me right, for my Bosch Dishwasher (similar to yours but Indian Model -IN) the factory/default Water Softening Setting is set to "H4" & that for Rinse Aid Consumption is at "r5" (on a scale of 0 to 7) which is appropriate for most people. Even better if you could make some videos on: 1) Advanced dishwasher settings (Water Softening System settings, Drying Settings, Rinse Aid consumption settings, Water Heating System Settings etc) 2) Hack Videos: (Like the one where you cut tablets into two) Operating a dishwasher when you either run out or are running low on either Salt or Rinse Aid (by setting the corresponding parameter ("H" or "r" to 0 if you've already ran out of them; or 1-3 if you are running low on them ). [You may get away without doing so, but it will prolong the duration of the wash cycle] I feel an awareness of dishwasher settings paves the way for customising them as per one's requirements & goes a long way in fully exploiting the potential of this boon of a device. 3) A comparative review of Descalers available in India & their utility.

@@BhuvanaAdi Please can you answer my questions above.

[@BhuvanaAdi]

Hi Malifan, All-in-one means detergent + rinse aid + salt. First of all you should get to know the water hardness in your locality. For hardness upto 26 deg Clarke (3.7 mmol/Litre), you can adjust your salt and rinse aid setting to "0", as the salt and rinse aid in the all-in-one(tablet) is sufficient for the hardness level. For water hardness greater than or equal to 27 deg Clarke(>=3,8 mmol/Litre) you will need salt and rinse aid added in those compartments and settings should be adjusted accordingly.

If your water is on the softer side, you could try using Crystale brand, but they have only tablets, but no detergents. All depends on your water quality.

Hi Manimala, this could be due to any of the following: 1. More detergent used than required for your load 2. Rinse aid setting is higher 3. Correct program not selected based on the load. Solutions to the above: 1. Please set your salt and rinse aid levels based on water hardness. The factory setting is usually kept high. If your water is soft you can set them at level 01 or 02. Please check your manual for the same. 2.Always use the correct amount of detergent based on how soiled your dishes are. 3. Choose the correct program based on your dish load.
