I love this product. I've used powder and liquid dishwasher soaps and these tabs are by far the easiest to use. So easy, in fact, that I've made 'starting the dishwasher' one of my 7 year-olds chores. Because it's solid and lightweight, there's no worry about him using too much detergent, nor spilling. Basically, all he has to do is reach under the cabinet, pull out one tab, unwrap it, and put it in the dishwasher (closing the little soap door).

As you no doubt gathered from that description, the tab comes in a sealed package. Personally, I find it wasteful that every tab has it's own sub-packaging and I've actually detracted a star based on this. The packaging though is easy to rip open (nothing like a bag of chips).

As for how well it works::: it works as well as any product we have ever used. The 'jet-dry' portion of the tab keeps glasses spotless, and it scours dishes and pans much better than the regular Electrasol powder did for us.

Summary:::
Easy to use product that gets dishes clean. The jet-dry portion of the tab keeps glasses spotless and it's nice not to have to remember to buy the jet-dry liquid and refill the reservoire.

A definite nice convenience when it's hectic.

Short review. We had used these many times in the past, so we knew they worked very well in our dishwasher. We were just looking for a larger and (hopefully) most cost-effective supply. They showed up well packed, still sealed within their container, and in good shape. No complaints, we'll be ordering more in the future.

I read in the comments to a previous reviewer where someone stated that they had been told that powdered detergents were unstable and lasted only a short period. I'm not a chemist with expertise in that area, but I've got a chemistry background and I find that hard to believe. If the detergent is stored open, in a very humid area, perhaps it might be unstable. Anywhere else, I would think that these detergents would last for years. Just my opinion.

I am a Cascade baby, meaning the only thing growing up that we used was Cascade. Yes, we did try the cheaper stuff and my sister 1 time bought a cheaper brand that didnt work. All I knew was I was never going to use anything but Cascade. Well, my boyfriend kept complaining that are dishes weren't coming clean enough and I thought it was just because he didnt know how to do dishes, I mean when I did them they were a little spotty but it didnt bother me to much. So he brought home Electrosol to try, I was hooked after the first use. After we ran out he tried getting a similar brand which didnt work the same. So I ordered Electrasol in the 100 count from Amazon. No more Cascade for me, It I guess pays to change once in awhile.
