Great detergent!
These are so worth it! They get our dishes so clean and cut through grease and oil effortlessly. I love the smell of them and the container is very convenient for storing under the sink!

Terrible
Without a doubt the worst dishwasher Detergent I have ever used. First of all it is expensive! Comparing with market brands or not as known brands it is overpriced. Well, I like dishes cleaned so I thought it would be worth the price. My dishwasher is not bad and always got the job done. I tried multiple times with multiple settings to use this terrible pod and usually ...

I recommend this product to everyone.
“I’ve been using Cascade for over 20 years, and it’s never let me down. No matter how dirty the dishes or how baked-on the cookware, Cascade powers through and gets everything spotless. It truly does the toughest jobs with ease! The packaging is great, the scent is perfect, the price you pay is well worth it, and I appreciate that it’s made with the environment in mind....

Smells and cleans amazing
This is one of my favorites the scent and the fragrance is so amazing. It’s so effective and I feel like it’s so the value of the price. It’s just perfect because it lasts for so long. The packing is really cool. I love it. And I feel like it’s very environmental.

Cascade Platinum ActionPacs deliver powerful, mess
I’ve been really impressed with Cascade Platinum ActionPacs. They clean dishes thoroughly on the first wash, even with stuck-on food, so I never have to pre-rinse or run a second cycle. They're super convenient—just grab a pouch and toss it in the dishwasher. It’s much easier and cleaner than dealing with liquid or powder detergents, which can be messy and hard to measu...

Super Clean
These pods are my go-to! They’re super effective and get the job done. My dishes go in the dishwasher like I’m a raccoon sometimes, and they still get perfectly cleaned with these pods.

Powerful cleaning pods that leave dishes spotless
I’ve been using Cascade Platinum ActionPacs and I’m really impressed with how well they clean. Even tough, baked-on food comes off without the need for pre-rinsing, which saves me time and water. The dishes always come out sparkling clean and streak-free, and the fresh scent is pleasant but not overpowering. I also appreciate that the pods are easy to use and mess-free ...

Works great!
I use Cascade ActionPacs when I'm meal prepping, and I have multiple dishes and pans to clean. It really does make my dishes and pans squeaky clean, and I don't see spots on my silverware when I use it (sometimes I use rinse aid, but most times I don't).

Cascade Platinum ActionPacs for the win!
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.

Leaves Dishes Clean and Fresh!
These are some of my favorite dishwasher pods. My dishes always come out clean and smelling fresh, no grease residue which is great! The fresh scent can sometimes be a bit overpowering, but it’s not too bad. It’s a 62 count container so they last a while, at least a month or two since I sometimes hand wash dishes as well. Overall, great product for the price.

My only dishwasher tabs
Nothing works better than these. I have tried every brand and always go back to these pods. I’m so happy with them. Only downside is the size of the package is larger than it needs to be.

Product problem
The bottom of the pods container contains product which is stuck together in 2, 3 & 5 clusters. When pulling or cutting apart they start to leak and the pods are ruined. I’ve used this product for the last yr and this is first time I’ve had this issue.

Response from Staples :
We're sorry that you're experiencing Cascade ActionPacs™ becoming stuck together, Kathy. Since the ActionPacs are formulated to start dissolving as soon as they come in contact with water, it sounds like they may have been exposed to moisture or humid conditions. This could have happened in shipping, handling, or storage. We have some tips for the best results when using our product. First, if two Cascade ActionPacs™ are stuck together, do not try to pull them apart as they may split or tear open. We recommend that you do not use multiple pacs in one load. Also, keep the package tightly closed between uses and store in a dry area with low humidity at room temps. Under the sink may be handy, but it’s often too warm and too humid if near the dishwasher. It's also important make sure your hands are completely dry when handling the ActionPacs and the package. We can understand your disappointment that this is happening, and our Cascade Team would like to gather a few details to further assist you. Please give us a call at 1-800-765-5516 from 9AM -– 6PM EST Monday–Friday.

Works well
Works great, I do have dishes pretty well rinsed off when I put them in the dishwasher though. So I’m gonna try leaving some stuck on food and see. Packaging is sturdy, the scent almost has a weird chemical smell though.

Sparkling Clean Every Time!
I’ve been using the Cascade Dishwasher Pods for a few weeks now and I’m really impressed! Every single load comes out spotless — no leftover grease, no water spots, and definitely no lingering odors. I love how easy it is to just pop one pod in with no mess or measuring.

Mega meh
I received a trial pack to use in my new dish washer and let's just say I'm less than impressed with the whole deal. The dishwasher isn't my favorite but this brand in particular out of the 3 I've used now DOES NOT like plastic. I didn't use the power dry but it was a load of plastic cups and silverwear and 2 glass plates. Everything but the plastic sparkled. I included...
