Tablets or powder? ⇐ Dishwasher chemicals

[Irina and co.]

Hello! We recently bought ourselves a dishwasher, everything is fine, but we are going broke on three-in-one tablets.
We saw powder for dishwashers sold in Auchan, it costs much less than tablets.
But the following questions:
1) will the car get worse from cheap powder?
2) do I need to buy\add something else to the powder?
3 ) how will changing the detergent affect the quality of washing dishes?
Thanks in advance for your answers

If this is important, then I’m going to switch to Ashan powder at 102 rubles per kilogram.
I think its name is Sanit. Has anyone tried washing dishes with it?

I once also switched to powder, but was disappointed - there were streaks left on the dishes. So I went back to the pills. Expensive, but beauty and cleanliness are more important to me personally.

but was disappointed - there were stains on the dishes.

You probably bought some kind of counterfeit product. We buy the cheapest vice in Auchan, which is exactly what the author of the topic (Sanit) writes about, and there are no divorces.
I don’t think that 100 rubles is a lot for an experiment. (I’m addressing the author of the topic!) Your machine won’t break, try it. We once spat on expensive pills and don’t regret it.

This could be from - due to insufficient softness of water. Do you add salt? It’s a must to add.

People, honestly, I don’t understand! You save on matches!
You bought expensive equipment and regret a few hundred rubles on tablets. Let’s wash the dishes with baking soda, it’ll be almost free! Or sell the machine and buy dishwashing sponges and be glad you saved.

I also switched to powder. I use Finish
The washing quality is the same, it’s cheaper, the instructions say that the tablets should not be used for accelerated washing (and people complained that there was a problem). The only negative is that you need to monitor the salt and rinse aid, but they last a long time.

definitely sell the car buy sponges it says 5

A machine is bought to save money, not for unnecessary expenses. Only here in Russia can they buy for the sake of showing off...

With the powder you need to use salt and rinse aid, and everything will shine

For a long time I used sun powder for the dishwasher plus rinse aid, but I couldn’t stand it and went and bought tablets. I bought the same sun, because I’m completely satisfied with the quality, but I keep watching, adding more, adding more, and I’m tired of it! )) With pills everything is much easier - you put it on and you don’t think about anything. You don’t even need to remove the film, since it is self-soluble. )) The quality of washing is the same, in terms of convenience there is no comparison, but I can’t say yet about the budget, but I don’t think it’s catastrophic! ))
