Finish Quantum
Verified128 reviews
I found this did not dissolve properly and often became trapped in the dispenser. This is probably because the tablet is too large for most dishwashers. I was not very impressed with its cleaning ability either, often having to re wash by hand dishes removed from the dishwasher. First time I've had this problem with any tablet and won't be buying these again. Show details
Dishes are not really clean after washing, but the overpowering, disgusting chemical smell of plates, pots, and utensils is not only disgusting, but also makes me wonder about the safety of eating food with this perfumed residue. Show details

What a rubbish product. Every second wash leaves part of the capsule behind, usually in the dispenser or more recently cliging to the lower wire shelf. You expect more from a product with a hefty price tag. NEVER AGAIN. Show details

Does not dissolve and is consistently left behind in the dispenser. Absolute waste of money.

Findings are plastic is clogging sprinkler in dishwasher and does not dissolve. At times pkt is still in tablet holder undissolved. I am not sure if filler is plastics too in tablets as dishwasher was having problems. I rinse off access bulk scraps from plates then to my surprise or shock found bottom of dishwasher clogged up with plastics from… Read more

I was very disappointed with this dishwasher soap. I bought it because the price seemed better compared to others in the market, including what’s available at Coles. Unfortunately, the quality is very poor—my dishes still had food residue after a wash, and I had to clean them twice. It defeats the purpose of using a dishwasher! Save your money and avoid this product. Show details

Waste of your hard earned cash – May as well not use a dishwasher tablet as this does nothing at all, when the cycle stops, the tablet is still in the tray not dissolved, we pay a lot of money for “the best brand” and get utter rubbish for out hard earned money. Show details

Positive reviews
Clean and streak free – I have used Finish Tablets before and could see no difference in performance with Finish Quantum. It did leave all the plates, glasses, cups and cutlery clean and streak free. There was no left over food on any items. The glasses were Very clear and no sign of any streaking. The dishwasher itself wash clean and shiny. I could see no reason why I… Read more
would not use this product again except for the price. Since it cleaned the same as other Finish tablets, that were cheaper, I would only buy these if they were on special.
Best thing since sliced bread – This product legit changed my life. These guys weren't damn around when they put the word 'Quantum' on the packet. Ok, so let me set the scene. 65 degrees, universal clean dishwasher setting. Wine glasses, cups, plates and all of your usual dinner time culprits stacked high. Pop this bad boy in and press start. An hour later - bam! Shiny dishes. What a time to be alive.
Baked on stuff – I don't agree that no dishwasher tabs get rid of baked on stuff on pots. I use flat ceramic dishes in a glass convection oven most evening meals and all of the Finish and Logix tabs get them perfect every time in my Bosch without any precleaning at all. Got the same result with the much older Westinghouse with Finish tabs too.
Negative reviews
Very disappointed in Finish Quantam and forced to throw a whole expensive packet of these tablets out. Very strong scent and chemical taste on my washed items forcing me to rinse everything before use. My knives were always left with food residue still on them such as cheese or butter. The strong highly perfumed odour and taste when the… Read more
dishwashing had finished made me uncomfortable and worried this chemical rsidue was unsafe for my families health and wellbeing..

Do not use for silverware – The product leaves dark staines on silver. Silver cutlery turns brown and looks terrible. I am afraid my silver has been severely damaged.

Worst dishwasher cleaner ever – No good, doesn’t work one little bit. Doesn’t dissolve in any of the wash settings and food still on most of the dishes. When you pay top dollar for a product you expect results. Will not purchase anything from this mob again. Show details

Don't buy – The worst, I haven't had one good wash with this tablet. It gets left behind on the drawer and I have to wash again. Show details
Hello Magda, thank you for your review. We are sorry to… Read more
Don't waste your money and time – Gave it a try and regret it. Capsules do not dissolve. Even on the longest clean cycle, dishes are still dirty. We have a fairly new and well performing dishwasher. The filter is clean, the dishwasher has been descaled, and I pack it sensibly. Only since introducing Finish Quantum All in 1 have our wash cycles not cleaned our dishes. Don't waste your money on this landfill. Worst we have ever tried. Show details

Never again – When it doesn't stick in the DRY tablet dispenser, it sticks to the bottom of the dishwasher. Why would anyone design a dishwasher tablet that sticks to the inside surface? Show details

Doesn't dissolve – Same problem as many others here. Product does not dissolve completely. Dispenser still has part of it stuck inside And leaves blue residue on some of the plates . Very disappointed and will never buy again ! Show details

Horrible – Doesn't dissolve so it doesn't clean The small amount that does dissolve from the pods leaves residue on dishes Residue leaves dishwasher itself dirty and clogged up due to the residue Show details

Does not dissolve – Purchased at Woolworths - tablets are stuck together in the pack, and they do not dissolve completely in the dishwasher. I took the remaining hard plastic residue and red ball and poured just boiled water over it in a mug - checked it two hours later. Plastic still in one piece and sludge that hadn't been dissolved left. Concerned about plastics in drainage systems. Show details
Finish Wuantum does not dissolve – We have soft water and a high end Kitchenaid DW. The Finish Quantum packets don’t completely dissolve and leave a sticky residue in the compartment. Unlike Max in 1 this stuff is no good. Will not purchase again. Show details
Do not clean well at all and always find some of the tablet undisolved in the machine – Will not buy again. Doesn’t clean properly and doesn’t dissolve, gets stuck to the door most of the time, even when I have purposely dried the door to prevent this. Show details
All stuck to each other in the bag – Purchased these for the first time at on special. Within a week the "plastic" capsules had started to stick to each other and when you pull them apart they rupture leaking fluid onto the others making more stick together. Ended up being like a daisy chain of capsules. Waste of money. Will never purchase again. **(Ignore box in the photo. Was from previous purchase and just tipped the new capsules in.)** Show details

Tablets don’t dissolve – Like so many other people have mentioned, these just seems to get stuck in the dispenser and don’t dissolve. Not good for a top of the line product. Prior to these I used Fairy from P&G and they were better. I will be going back. Show details
Dirty pots still dirty! – Really disappointed with these tablets. They haven’t removed the food and coffee stains properly off my pots. Will never buy again. Bought Finish quantum ultimate tablets. Absolutely rubbish, don’t buy! Show details
I need a new dishwasher detergent – I purchased Quantum because of the better reviews, oh was I disappointed. I have had to run my dishes through dishwasher cycle twice each time. This makes me want to just handwash my dishes. But I bought such a large pack I just want to use it up. Even after pre-rinsing my dishes I am still disappointed in the results. I won't purchase this product again, very disappointed.
Very disappointed – This is a terrible product, I cleaned my filter in the dishwasher, thinking that might be the problem. I then hand washed ALL my glasses to remove the residue and placed them back in the dishwasher. They came out filthy, I have a half a packet of finish powerball left , which I am going throwing out . Show details
Most unimpressed with claim of “no rinsing required “ – This photo is of an unrinsed bowl I have just removed from the dishwasher. Other dishes also not cleaned properly. I will continue to rinse dishes and ignore false claims that dishes don’t need rinsing Show details
Horrible – Terrible product. Doesn't clean dishes at all, even after they have been rinsed before hand. Will not buy again. Still have over half a packet left as I purchased another brand and could not be happier. Show details
Warning: They Don’t dissolve!!! Don’t buy these ! – I have now tried 4x from the very expensive pack purchased in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia in March 2021 and ALL 4 remained in tact in the machine on completion of two separate attempts. The setting is on heavy duty, with HOT water which is recommended. Very disappointed. Paid top dollar and expected awesome results. Save your money consumers and buy a different brand. Show details
Split pods – I have only got less than half way through the pack and the pods are all turning to mush in the bottom of the bag. I will not be purchasing them again! Show details
Finish Quantum Ultimate – Tablets don’t dissolve , I’ve tried 5 from the packet and same outcome. Called the toll free number on the packet twice and still haven’t been contacted. Coles refused to exchange the product cause I don’t have my receipt ! Won’t be buying this product again Show details
Finish Quantum Ultimate Tablets – Purchased this product September 2020. Worst Finish product I have ever used. My stainless steel knives come out with rust spots on them and they have been rinsed prior to going in dishwasher. The spongy little packs in sticky plastic with white yellow and red globs in them are horrid to use. I have gone back to the original finish powerball… Read more
tablets and knives are coming out clean again. Very false advertising by Finish for the Quantum Ultimate I wont be using it again and if they remove the power ball tablets then I guess I will be changing to another product. I have had dishwashers for over 40 years and never had rust on knife blades.
White powder is solid and does not dissolve – Rather disappointed with this product having ordered tree packets. The product contains three different constituents. White powder and a yellow and red liquid. The white powder/crystals were totally solid in the plastic sachet and did not dissolve very much in the very hot water of the dishwasher leaving a granular trail of half the contents when… Read more
the cycle was complete. Tried massaging the white powder loose,before use, to no avail. We have now returned the product to Costco and are now using our old Finish powerball which has served us so well for many years. Did we have a faulty batch ?
Won’t be buying finish products again – Had been using finish for at least 10 years, then got these which are pretty average to say the least. Wrote to finish about the faulty tablets which do not clean the tea stains from my cups as they did previously and have had no reply. Now having to get to the end of 80 tablets which don’t work is pretty disappointing. Have a bag of fairy to go next and won’t be trusting finish again Show details
The new pouches leave specks on dishes – I have been happy with Finish for over 20 years but their new pouches leave dirt spots on the dishes. I gave my neighbour the pouches and she gets the same dirt spots on dishes. I cannot find anything else - only Finish pouches in my slightly remote IGA supermarket. Where have the Finish tablets gone? - bring them back please. Some dishes come… Read more
out dirtier than they went in - Finish pouches are not fit for purpose. For now I have switched to Fairy tablets that give me a NO DIRT SPOTS result.
