got me a new dishwasher today delivered next week probably. got white this time to match new refrigerator.

Bosch, lasted about 7 yrs now I have to after each load is done clean that **** filter that got old fast. I was clealing that thing once or twice daily.

Man told me lay off the pods use only detergent cleaner.   I was told once detergents gum up your sewer line . this fellow said pod plastics don't dissolve

and they wad up in the drain pump.

depends who U talk to I guess

JUst read what Good Housekeeping tests proved and they said powder is cheapest, pods are most convenient and not messy it's really up to what U want to use.

Pods are plastic that don't always dissolve fully. 

Liquids are well already liquid.

I have a new kitchen and this time around I got a two drawer Fisher and Paykel dishwasher. Gosh I LOVE it! It only takes powder detergent.

My DIL recently had her high end DW repaired (sorry, don't remember brand name) and the technician told her not to use the pods.  They don't dissolve entirely and gunk up the works.

His instructions were to use a tablespoon of Cascade powder.  Not the liquid.

We had young relatives use our shore house this summer.  They keep the place immaculate even with youngsters.

When we went down in the Fall, I found half a dissolved pod stuck in the dispenser cup.  Returned the half-used box of pods at Thanksgiving and explained why.

Now there will always be a bottle of Cascade next to the dishwasher.  The last thing I want is to have a sink drain clogged with u dissolved pods.

When we moved into this house, the builder put in the cheapest Whirlpool dishwasher available. That was at the peak of Covid and they were hard to come by.  Well, it turns out that I absolutely love this dishwasher. Knock wood, it's the best I've ever had and my last two were very pricey LGs, the last one died after two years.. the "mother board" crashed and it was going to cost $450 to fix it.  This one has few bells and whistles and I'm happy about that.

@SharkE Only 7 years old...disappointing.  My Bosch dishwasher is going on 20 years old and has never been serviced.  I also have a dual fuel Bosch stove which had one expensive service, same age.  I have been very happy with these appliances.  I replaced my Kenmore Elite fridge and front load washing machine with Whirlpool five years ago.
