Best Dishwasher Capsules Rating

There are many different types of dishwasher detergents on the market. Some are sold in powder form, others in gel form, and the latest popular type are capsules. These are so popular not only because they are convenient to store and use, but also because they can replace powder, rinse aid, and special dishwasher salt in one product. In this article, we'll detail the best dishwasher capsules and help you choose an affordable alternative.

Top 5 popular capsules for dishwashers

With so many brands and products available, it's easy to get confused and difficult to navigate. We've thoroughly reviewed the offerings on Yandex.Market and selected the five most popular dishwasher capsules, chosen by thousands of Russian housewives.

• Fairy Platinum All in One. A product from the renowned Fairy brand, which is particularly popular in our country. This particular capsule received an average rating of 4.8 stars on the aggregator based on 1,610 reviews. The manufacturer guarantees perfect cleaning results thanks to the combination of gel and powder, which removes even dried-on grease from dishes. Moreover, the capsule helps to remove grease residue even from the dishwasher filter, drain system and sprinklers. The smallest package with 27 capsules costs $10.49.
• Fairy Platinum+ All-in-One. Another type of capsule from the Fairy brand, whose popularity is hard to compete with. It has the same rating as the top-ranked brand, but based on fewer reviews – 4.8 stars from 396 people. Platinum Plus is a product consisting of three liquid compartments that help remove even the most stubborn stains and restore crystal-clear and sparkling dishes. The capsule contains rinse aid and salt, as well as a protection function for silver and glassware. Finally, it helps remove grease buildup from the drain system, spray arms, and filters. The price for the minimum quantity of 21 capsules is $10.49.
• Finish Quantum Ultimate. Rounding out the top three is another popular Russian detergent brand, Finish. A 4.8 rating on Yandex's aggregator based on 362 reviews suggests that this product performs its job perfectly. The company promises dazzling cleaning results thanks to two gel components. The white powder capsule removes any dirt, the blue gel removes ingrained grease, and the red gel adds a special shine to dishes. The smallest pack contains only 15 capsules, but the price is also reasonable – $8.03.
• Fairy Original All in One. Fairy returns to the list because they have firmly established themselves in the market, releasing so many different series to ensure perfect cleaning. These capsules with a pleasant lemon scent received the same 4.8 stars on Yandex.Market, this time based on 311 reviews. The combination of powder and gel effectively removes grease and leaves cutlery sparkling, while salt and rinse aid protect glass and silver surfaces.

These capsules contain three unique gels and one type of powder, which together clean even burnt-on surfaces, leaving dishes sparkling clean after a cycle. Like the other detergents in this selection, Somat Excellence is dishwasher-safe. The price for 28 capsules is $11.89.

Now you know the best dishwasher capsules that you can buy at any store. However, you don't have to stop at capsules; dishwasher tablets may be even more suitable, given their more affordable price.

The best tablets for PMM

Capsules are one of the most expensive types of dishwasher detergents, so they're not suitable for everyone. If you're looking for a high-quality product, consider tablets, which are much cheaper but not significantly worse.

• Finish All in 1 Max Original. Finish rightfully holds the top spot in the dishwasher tablet category. The company's product received a high rating of 4.8 stars on Yandex, based on 4,665 reviews—a figure that neither of the two top-ranked tablets even comes close to. The tablet's red ingredient gives dishes a brilliant shine, while the rest of the tablet removes any tough stains, even burnt-on food. A small pack of 13 tablets costs $3.99.
• BioMio Bio-total. This time, the "Silver" award goes to the Bio Mio brand, which received the same 4.8 stars, based on 1,408 reviews. The tablets are made with eucalyptus oil and boast an eco-friendly design, making them even suitable for washing baby dishes. The product removes any dirt in water of any temperature, leaves dishes sparkling, and eliminates all unpleasant odors. The minimum package contains 12 tablets for $4.28.
• Synergetic Eco. This brand is only slightly lower on the Yandex.Market list, with a rating of 4.6 stars based on 553 reviews. These biodegradable, phosphate-free tablets are ideal for removing all types of stains, including stubborn grease. Not only do they leave no streaks, odors, or limescale, but they also protect your dishwasher from limescale. While this product has a lower rating and fewer reviews, the contents of the box are significantly better than previous options—25 capsules for only $4.09.
• Clean & Fresh All in 1 Mini. Rated 4.6 stars based on 729 reviews. These mini tablets, designed for small dishwashers up to 45 cm (18 inches), short cycles, or partial loads, remove any dirt and ingrained grease from dishes just as well as standard-sized tablets. The tablet's four layers protect glass from corrosion, leave dishes sparkling, descale dishwashers, and clean dishes with active oxygen. The price, like the tablets themselves, is very low—just $4.02 for 30 tablets.
• Jundo Active Oxygen. Not the most popular product, but definitely deserving of a place on the list of top-rated products – rated 4.2 stars based on 224 reviews. These tablets remove not only food residue and grease, but also burnt-on food and stubborn stains. The product eliminates unpleasant odors, leaves no streaks, and protects the dishwasher from scale. Certainly the most affordable product available today – 30 tablets for just $3.17.

If you need to save on detergents, it's even cheaper to buy all your household chemicals separately—separately powder, rinse aid, and special dishwasher salt.

There are as many opinions as there are people, so don't be afraid to experiment and buy not only different brands of household chemicals, but also different types of detergents.
