Dishwasher pods are heavily marketed in the US and actually wash more poorly compared to plain powder. With pods the pre-wash ends up running without detergent, so rinsing off dishes becomes necessary.

Consumer Reports disagrees. Not all dishwasher pods rank better, but pods consistently make up the vast majority of their top picks, or they have at all of the times I’ve been subscribed.

(I usually buy a month of access every couple of years or so. Mostly to see the updated dishwasher detergent reviews tbqh.)

I wonder if Consumer Reports has done this test since they tweeted this response and compared the pods to detergent using the pre wash dispenser.
