So clean
Cascade Platinum ActionPacs are so convenient and easy to use, without all the mess, just toss in the dishwasher dispenser and let it work its magic, even the toughest of stuck on messes, wash clean and clear. My plates and glasses have never looked so shiny.

Horrible
Half our 59 count of dish detergent was obviously a machine error with the amount of bad packages and this wasn’t close to all of them. Is this Cascade or a cheap dollar store knock off because these darn things are empty of everything useful

Bitter Residual tastes imparted into plastics
Imparts a bitter chemical taste into plastics. Straining spaghetti and microwaving food causes a faint cascade pod odor and highly noticeable bitter taste to transfer from plastic to food. Pasta smells like cheap perfume and tastes bitter. Reheated chicken breasts smell like perfume and the aftertaste if you dare eat it tastes bitter. Our spahetti strainer made of plas...

We're sorry to hear this! We do extensive research and testing when we design our products to make sure they clean effectively and meet the needs/preferences of our consumers, so please know that this isn't the experience we want you to have.
Typically, we wouldn't expect Cascade to impart the detergent taste into food. If the soap isn't completely rinsed off, however, or if the dishes have become porous, it is possible. If certain items always pick up a flavor, they're probably worn to the point of being porous and should be washed by hand. It might help to know that cast iron and plastic items can absorb flavors.
We'd like to learn more and share some tips on how to get the best use from your Cascade products. Please call us at (800) 765-5516, any time from 9:00AM-6:00PM EST Monday-Friday, for further assistance.

We're so sorry to read about your recent Cascade experience, especially since we quality-test each of our detergents to ensure they give your dishes a wonderful clean. While wouldn't expect Cascade to impart the scent of the product onto food, if the soap isn't completely rinsed off, or if the dishes have become porous, it's possible this can happen. Should certain items always pick up a flavor, they're probably worn to the point of being porous and may need to be washed by hand. Cast iron and plastic items, for example, can more easily absorb flavors. Don't soak these items, though; wash them immediately and rinse completely. We do offer Cascade Free & Clear which has a light scent, and it may be the best option for you. To remove the taste/smell, we recommend soaking your non-porous dishes in hot water with some distilled white vinegar added to it. You should also check the dishwasher sprayer arms to make sure they're not clogged. And to ensure your dishwasher is rinsing properly, place a cup or mug on the top rack right side up, so it can collect water. Then run a dishwasher cycle. The cup/mug should be filled with water at the end of the cycle. If it isn't, it's an indicator that your dishwasher isn't rinsing properly. You're welcome to call us at (800) 765-5516 if you'd like more assistance!

Doesn't dissolve properly. Not worth the extra cos
I'd leave no stars if that was an option. The product routinely doesnt dissolve in the dishwasher. I have used it both on the 1 hour setting and the 3 hour setting and it still only barely dissolved. Not worth the extra money! Sticking with the liquid that's way cheaper and way more effective.

Response from Staples :
We're very sorry to learn of your recent experience with Cascade ActionPacsâ„¢, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how disappointing this must have been and assure you that we're here to help. Due to the extensive quality testing our products go through to ensure optimal performance, it is very rare for our Pacs not to dissolve. There are several reasons why this could happen, and we'd like to share some helpful information. One of the biggest tips is verifying that there's free movement of the sprayer arms, and that the washer is getting adequate pressure. Additionally, water temperature should not be below 120 degrees Fahrenheit. To help ensure the dishwasher receives hot water immediately upon starting, run hot water at the kitchen sink before starting the dishwasher. Low water pressure can also impact the dishwasher's performance. We recommend running the dishwasher when other household water demands, like showers or laundry, are not in use. This will help ensure that an adequate amount of water is available for the washing process. While we hope this was helpful, your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we'd like to learn more about your product. Please give our team a call at (800) 765-5516.

Pacs will no longer dissolve in the dishwasher
We have been using the Platinum Plus Pacs for years, but the last two containers, 90% of the pacs will not dissolve leaving a large portion of cleaner from discharging into the washer. Nothing has changed with the water pressure or dishwasher, so it is assumed they are using a different (cheaper) polymer than previously. Very disappointing.

Clean dishes and a fabulous smelling kitchen
Cascade Platinum Plus Action Pacs in Fresh Scent work great! My dishes came out sparkling clean with no residue, and I love how my whole kitchen smells fresh after running the dishwasher. It makes cleanup so much easier and leaves everything looking and smelling wonderful. Definitely recommend!

We're very sorry to hear about this. Many things could contribute to why an ActionPac may not dissolve like water pressure. For now, please ensure the dispensing drawer isn't blocked by any dish and see if that helps. We have additional troubleshooting that we can help you with, so we'd like to connect and help.

Great product! Lives up to its name!
I’ve always been a die hard Finish dishwasher pod user, so I was excited to try Cascade Platinum Plus ActionPacs. My kids aren’t the best at rinsing the dishes before loading them in the dishwasher, so I was a bit apprehensive, but these pods worked like a dream. It cut all the grease and leftover food which was surprising to me.

Oversized packaging.
Brand new container is only half full. Sure it cleans well but what a massive waste of materials, and taking up precious space under the sink.
