One of the most useful videos on YouTube that EVERYONE in the world should watch.

  1. The money saved. I bought a pack of tablets for 10$ a month, now its 15$ a year for the powder. That's 6.300$ saved in a lifetime
  2. The amount of waste reduced since there is no individual packaging of the tablets
  3. The dishes are cleaner than ever
  4. NO downsides. It's less work to pour some powder than it is to grab a tablet. Well at least almost no downside: It's hard to find powder, there are like 15 different tablets in the supermarket and maybe 1 package of powder.

Still, this video improved my dishwasher-life soooo much.

    I watched the video and was not really convinced

    1. 5€ pack of tablets lasts about 3 months for me
    2. The tablets I buy don't have a wrapper. They are covered in a clear, plastic like material that dissolve in water
    3. Can't comment on this
    4. Tablets are zero effort compared to powder

    1. Powder is still cheaper. Just less cheap for you since you probably don't use your dishwasher that much, but it's cheaper
    2. The dissolved material is still waste material, the waste is just in the sewage and not in your bin
    3. I just add this point because of the formatting
    4. This is subjective, but I think it's slightly less work. You either have to make sure your hands are dry to not dissolve the wrapper or you have to throw away the wrapper. Either way it's not a lot of difference
