Reviews of Fairy tablets

We decided to check whether Fairy tablets are really as good as the advertisement tells us by reading the reviews of those who have used them. Here are some of those reviews.

Rucolca, Moscow

I bought Fairy All in 1 capsules by chance because there was a promotion. I didn’t really hope for anything. However, the result was very pleasing. The tablets have a soluble coating, so there are no problems with them, the main thing is to put them with the white side up in the dishwasher compartment. In composition they resemble Finish Quantum tablets. After washing with these tablets, dishes are perfectly clean, spoons and forks are shiny, there are no streaks. Conclusion: Excellent tablets, better than Finish All in 1 and cheaper.

Rrog, Severny

With the advent of the dishwasher, choosing a detergent has become a real headache. I bought a pack of 90 Fairy All in one tablets in Finland, they cost me about $4, but that was quite a long time ago. Since the tablets are made in Finland, there is not a single word in Russian on the packaging.I’ll say right away that after taking such tablets, I don’t really want to buy Russian-made tablets, there is a noticeable difference in quality. fairy capsules

What I like most about Finnish capsules is the lack of smell; the dishes squeak after washing. Glassware, cutlery, crystal vases and glasses look ideal; there was no such impression from the Russian Fairy.

But this foreigner also has a drawback. Containers, baking sheets and frying pans with Teflon coating are not washed perfectly; droplets of plaque and stains remain. It is impossible to say that this is because of the dishwasher, since this is my second washing machine and enough experiments have been carried out during this time. I haven’t found an ideal product on the Russian market that suits both price and quality. But I’m not losing hope, maybe something will appear, but for now I’ll recommend the Finnish Fairy.

Ekagur, Moscow

We have been using a dishwasher for 5 years now, and one day we decided to buy a pack of Fairy All in 1 capsules, 52 pieces. These capsules are easy to use because you don’t need to unwrap anything. I didn’t immediately like the composition, although I hadn’t paid attention to it before. These tablets contain phosphates and there are a lot of them, about 30%. The fact that the dishes will shine and shine after washing is true, there are no complaints. All dishes are clean, plates and even pots. But not everything is so good, and for me the shortcomings of these tablets play a big role. The fact is that a pungent smell remains on the dishes; you can’t confuse it with anything else. Because of the composition and this smell, I will not recommend the tablets, and I will not buy them myself.

valkirija77, Chelyabinsk

I have been using a dishwasher for almost 3 years, and during this time I have bought various dishwashing products and tablets, including Finish. But I’ll share my impressions of Fairy Platinum.The advantage of capsules is that there is no need to buy salt and special rinse aid. Therefore, I think the price of this product is justified. Another plus is that they do not need to be unwrapped, because the shell itself dissolves in water.

It is convenient to use the packaging itself, which has a lock and protects the capsules from moisture. The washing quality is perfect, everything is clean. I recommend these tablets.

YanaN, Essentuki

I was attracted by the new packaging of fairy dishwasher tablets and decided to try them. I bought a small pack of 20 capsules. Of course, I liked that there was no need to unwrap the tablets. You immediately notice the pleasant smell, which makes you wonder why it is needed when washing dishes. Dishes are not laundry, and should not smell like that, especially chemicals, it is unlikely to promote appetite.

I can’t say that they wash dishes efficiently. I mostly use cheap tablets, they work better that way. I don’t see the point in buying expensive pills, so I don’t buy them anymore.

So, Fairy tablets are like Finish tablets are in demand, they have found their niche of satisfied consumers. Everyone has different tastes, so you need to experiment on your own and select the tablets that suit your dishwasher.
