Reviews of Econta dishwasher tablets
Special tablets for the dishwasher, called Econta 7 in 1, as soon as they appeared in some stores, immediately attracted the attention of dishwasher owners. What is the secret, since there are plenty of tablets with similar properties on the shelves? The attractiveness of these tablets can be explained very simply; they are among the cheapest. Cheapness is, of course, good, but what about the quality, is it worth buying them at all? This and other questions will be answered by users who have already tried these tablets; it’s not for nothing that they write reviews.

A couple of years ago I found on the counter in Pyaterochka some new, unusual dishwasher tablets called Econta. They were very inexpensive back then; I even thought that a little-known company was trying to promote itself by giving away its products for almost nothing. In short, after thinking a little, I took this product to try instead of the usual Finish tablets for dishwasher. Somehow I wanted to save money, otherwise it wouldn’t take long to go broke on washing dishes.
At home, I carefully examined the packaging. Everything looks fine:
- Three-layer tablets - green, yellow and light blue layers.
- It is stated that the tablet provides 7 effects for caring for dishes.
- begins to act already at a temperature of 300WITH.
- effectively washes dishes from any dirt.
I was skeptical about what I read, because I was not used to taking anyone’s word for it, especially an untested manufacturer. That same evening I gave the pills a thorough check. We had a family dinner that included fatty duck. The dishes were covered with a thick, greasy film, not counting other contaminants.I decided to act strictly according to the instructions.
- I cleaned large pieces of food from the dishes.
- Loaded the dishes into the basket correctly.
- I added a whole tablet to the dispenser.
- I checked that the dishes were not blocking the dispenser lid.
- Closed the door and started the washing mode at 450WITH.
I wanted to check the work of the tablet at 300C, but, unfortunately, my machine washes at least at 450WITH.
I was looking forward to the result. He turned out to be encouraging. Not perfect, of course, but very, very good. In any case, under such harsh test conditions, the tablet dissolved completely, washing away all the fat. Only small marks remained on the baking sheet. I think if I had started the wash at a higher temperature, or increased the program execution time, not a trace of dirt would have remained.
Conclusion: you can and should use the tablets, but there is one problem: I can’t buy them anywhere. For the past 6 months they have not been sold in retail outlets where I usually got them. What happens, as soon as you find a suitable remedy, it immediately disappears, it’s a shame!

Good tablets, I’ve been using them for quite a long time, they wash dishes efficiently. I never put the whole tablet down; half is enough for the eyes. As a result, you can save a lot of money.

I buy these tablets at Pyaterochka for ridiculous money. I calculated that in a year I have already saved almost $18 on dishwasher tablets. Not bad, considering that my dishes are as clean as after branded products, for which you need to shell out half your salary. They wash clearly worse in cool water; the optimal washing temperature is 45 degrees.
Opponents of the remedy

A dishwasher is a complete convenience, but you have to pay a lot of money for this convenience.At first I didn’t think about it, because having bought a Bosch dishwasher, I was given a six-month supply of Finish tablets as a gift. Their promotion was like this. For the first six months I was happy because I didn’t have to spend money on a machine at all, except for the fact that I had to take a pack of salt.
As soon as the supply of tablets ran out, I had to think about buying an alternative remedy, because taking Finish every time turned out to be expensive. I found such a remedy, it was called “Ekonta”, it seems. After the first launch of the machine with the new tablets, it turned out that their price fully reflects the quality. The machine washed the dishes as if without any tablets at all. I will never buy them again and I don’t recommend them!
Their composition is also not attractive. Contains 30% phosphates - draw your own conclusions.

It's a bad product, simply terrible. I threw my money away by buying these pills. At first I thought I’d wait until they ran out so I could buy the usual ones, but then I realized that my nerves cost more. I’d rather give them to my neighbor or throw them away altogether!

I came across these pills at Perekrestok. Not really hoping for anything, I took a pack of 30 pieces. It's a shame there wasn't a small box on sale. The tablets turned out to be, to put it mildly, not very good. The grease is washed off poorly, the dried porridge too, in general I am dissatisfied. I will look for another product, even if it is a little more expensive, the main thing is that the soap is more effective.
After analyzing consumer opinions about these tablets, we came to the conclusion that most people remained indifferent or spoke extremely negatively about this product. Only a few people liked these pills, although it is too early to draw final conclusions.

I don’t know how dirty the dishes have to be for them to not be washed. I also took unfamiliar pills to try. And I tried them in different modes and with different degrees of contamination of the dishes. The result is excellent, I am satisfied, I add additional salt and rinse aid even at Finish, because... Our water is very bad. Decent tablets, decent price, for the rest - “there is no prophet in his own Fatherland”...
Disgusting pills. They leave a residue on all the dishes.
