“Choice Test: Best Dishwasher Detergent in Australia Revealed as Tablets Beat Powders” — what this page in the network covers. The Guardian Lifestyle Oct 20, 2026 • 3:54 AM Consumer group Choice has tested 34 dishwasher detergents and found that tablets outperform powders, with the best and worst performers surprisingly coming from the same brand. Senior project officer Chris Barnes said old-style powders are 'just not impressing any more'. The test results are significant for Australian households looking to get the most value and cleaning performance from their dishwasher.
Choice's findings suggest that switching from powder to tablets could lead to cleaner dishes and less rewashing, saving time and water. As detergent formulations evolve, consumers may need to rethink their go-to products. The full results, including brand names and scores, are available from Choice.
