So I'm almost out of my Kirkland Costco pods and I although they work fine, they are too scented. So with me getting almost done with this last batch, I'm not going to be buying more of the Kirkland. Honestly, I was just going to start using Cascade or Finish again. However, while in walmart, I thought I would at least TRY their Great Value brand. When I got home, I had packed full dishwasher and decided to give one of the pods a try. I just have city water here, no water softener. The water is moderately hard.
When I looked at the pods, they looked IDENTICAL. I thought, "Oh, crap, this is exactly the same stuff just repackaged" So I put a pod in, started it after purging the cold from the lines. When my dishwasher is done, I open it and dry with a clip fan because I can't use rinse aid.. When I opened the dishwasher after it was done, the FIRST thing I noticed was there was NO SMELL... Just clean. I also noticed the stainless on the bottom looked more shiny. After the dishes were dry, I unloaded and checked all of them and they were spotless.
So at least for my water conditions, the GREAT Value pods are amazing and leave ZERO scent behind.
