Folks, I have a new video today where I'm very excited to announce a new dishwasher powder on the market.
Why am I so excited? Because it's vindicated every single one of my detergent opinions.

@TechConnectify This was a great watch! Very detailed and informative, you really should try harder to not put in as much effort, given it's No Effort November. ;)
@TechConnectify Do US folks have to run a tap before doing laundry, too? 🤔
@TechConnectify I mean, I am pretty sure they don't, so I guess my actual question is, what's the difference?
I used to have a dishwasher, since replaced, so I don't remember the model#, but it was a GE that had a very deep and narrow detergent compartment with no prerinse detergent spot.
Powder would ALWAYS get stuck in it but pods would ALWAYS drop out.
Seems like it was leaking through enough pre wash water to turn the powder into a clump but not enough to dissolve the pods.
I tried to make a warranty claim but they claimed it wasn't broken as it worked with the recommended pods.
Tldr I stg there's a vast corporate conspiracy to frustrate people away from inexpensive powder and into pricy pods that even goes beyond Cascade making their powder weaker than their pods but as you probably know yourself, talking about this anywhere other than the Internet makes people give you funny stares.
@TechConnectify wonderfully niche. I'll have to give that a watch when I get home.
Even though I doubt that exact brand exists outside the US and it'd be odd to buy dishwashing powder when I don't have a dishwasher 😉
@TechConnectify just seeing this post made me laugh. Watching it was everything I needed and didn’t realise was missing in my life.
@TechConnectify it'd be cool to get some sort of detergent-off competition.
I love my dishwasher, anything to improve its effectiveness is welcomed! :D
@TechConnectify I appear to have the same dishwasher as you, or at least a similar model based on the rinse-aid dispenser. However, I cannot figure out how to determine if the rinse-aid is empty outside of just occasionally pouring more in until it starts to overflow. There is an indicator that implies that it's some kind of light or something but it's never lit up for me, does it light up for you? Trying to figure out if I have a defective unit or not.
@TechConnectify Your dishwasher video helped me know to look for one that self-heats the water. For sure I'm watching this video!
@TechConnectify I do not have a dishwasher but every time you post about one I want one *more and more*
@TechConnectify I know what I'm adding to my Xmas list. Cleaning products!
@TechConnectify can't wait to watch! I've been having to make my own powder cause my water is too hard (citric acid based recipe)
@TechConnectify Only YOU can make hour long videos about diswasher detergent that we watch ENTIRELY without skipping a beat (at 1.5x speed, admittedly).
Solution that works here is using just half a high-end tablet (and cold water in a civilized 220v country), it works perfectly and lasts twice as much as Big Biswasher intends to (or costs half as much).
But now I know why there is an indentation on the detergent door.
@TechConnectify Team powder for ages!
@TechConnectify I've never used pods & always used Cascade #dishwasher powder until I bought a 1/2 gal jug of Casacade liquid dishwasher detergent which is going to last me til the day I die because I only turn on my dishwasher once every 2 months at most because I hand wash my dishes & mainly use the dishwasher as a dish & utensil rack. 🤷♂️
@TechConnectify Nothing says "no effort" quite like multiple in-depth dishwasher tests with identically-soiled dishes! 🙂
