COMPLAINT!

AI Highlights
  • Frigidaire dishwasher, 1 year old, has a dirty bottom.
  • Used Cascade twice on heavy cycles; no removal.
  • I am disappointed with the product value.

Good day,

My Frigidaire dishwasher, which is 1 year old, developed a *** dirty layer on the bottom of it. I purchased two packs of your Cascade cleaner and ran it twice on heavy-duty wash cycles and it did not touch or remove the contaminated layer on the bottom.

Very disappointed with your expensive product. I will accept any constructive replies.

Thank you,

Robert Koziol

Loss:

Trouble with pods

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Pods stick together in the bag, two or three at once.
  • Cutting them apart with scissors ruins another pod and causes leaking.

Lately I have been having trouble with your pods. When I go to get them out of the bag two or three of them are stuck together so bad I have to get a pair of scissors to cut them apart.

When I do this it ruins another pod and they start leaking.

I feel like I waste these pods. It never used to do this, only recently.

Packaging suggestion

AI Highlights
  • The opening is hard to unseal; a small pull tab would help.
  • I love Cascade, but I don't want the dish cleaner in my mouth.

To make the unsealing of the opening, please consider adding a small pull tab. It is difficult to open. I have fingernails, but couldn't get a grasp and finally had to use my teeth to remove it.I love Cascade, butyyes I really didn't want to get your wonderful dish cleaning enhancement product in my mouth!

Cascade Clean - Very disappointed

I bought Cascade Complete for the first time a few months ago. Its in a vacation apartment and because of CoVid havent been back for several months. I cant say I noticed it before, but Ive used the dishwasher twice this week and the pods dont seem to dissolve and leave a film on my glasses, dishes and silverware.

Big disappointment for all the advertising hype.

Sexual content

AI Highlights
  • The reviewer dislikes Cascade's ad for using sexual connotations.
  • They call the ad the worst they've seen.
  • They describe the ad as nasty.

For WHAT POSSIBLE REASON would Cascade try to use sexual connotations to sell dish washer soap? ABSOLUTELY THE WORST AD I've seen in quite some time. The easiest way I can describe it is that " Its just plane NASTY!"

Preferred solution: Remove ad from tv.

User's recommendation: Boycott Cascade til they remove ad!

Does not totally dissolve.

AI Highlights
  • I have used Cascade Complete Pods for 8+ years; the last two buckets don't dissolve.
  • Hi temp and sanitize still don't leave dishes clean; price is high.

I have purchased cascade complete pods for my dishwasher for at least the last 8 plus years. No problem until the last two buckets.

They are not dissolving all the way. Yes I use hi temp and sanitize. This product is not inexpensive and I am on fixed income.

As a result of this defect my dishes are not clean after running dishwasher. This is not acceptable for a p and g product.

User's recommendation: Don’t buy it

  • Defective bags on Cascade Original actionpacs won't seal once opened.
  • They require clamping or transferring to a ziplock to keep pacs fresh.

Defective bags on the Cascade Original (37 actionpacs). Once opened, the bags will not close/seal again.

I have to devise a way to clamp them or place/transfer to a ziplock freezer bag to keep pacs fresh. I love product, but think I must find an alternative.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Thank you for writing in and sharing your feedback with us, Chuck.

We know that a little humor can go a long way when inspiring change, so we made a humorous point about dishwashing frequency to ultimately help people save water every day in their own homes. We’re sorry you were offended, as that was not our intent.

We appreciate your feedback and will share it with the rest of our team. Please write back anytime..

I sent this message on their Facebook page:Your filthy minded ads are very offensive. And so unnecessary.

You have a great product. Just keep saying how well it works. And fire that ad agency. I have been a marketing director for 40 years and I can assure you that customers don’t like this childish advertising.

You lost this customer.Here's the reply:Thank you for writing in and sharing your feedback with us, Chuck.

Advertising

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Criticizes an ad prompting nightly dishwasher use.
  • Says advice harms environment and promotes half-empty loads; will stop buying.

I am so disappointed in seeing your recent ad to "do it every night". This "advice" is so very damaging to our environment!

How dare you suggest people can run their dishwasher in this way...half empty (as evidenced in the ad) and that people are saving water and money.

I know you "disclaim" this by saying not to rinse or hand wash prior to loading dishwasher, but this is not what you are really pushing ( which is excessive use of your product) How deceptive. I am a customer BUT I will no longer buy any of your products.

Preferred solution: PULL THAT AD!

User's recommendation: Do NOT buy

Suggest redesign

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • The dispenser wastes half the product due to a poorly designed disperser.
  • Tilting to dispense is hard and a pointed tip would improve flow.

I have been using your Cascade Platinum Power Dry product for a couple of years and now compelled to suggest a redesign your product dispenser. Experience has convinced me that half of the product is wasted because the disperser container is poorly designed.

Tilting the bottle up to dispense the product is nearly impossible to put liquid in the receptacle without dumping liquid everywhere out side of the receptacle.

A pointed tip of sorts seems more appropriate. It would control flow direction

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution

User's recommendation: great product/ bad design

My coffee cups are being slowly stripped of logos

My white bluebird logo has faded away as have my other logos but not all. This wasn't a problem with the original powder form.

Other than using powder can you offer suggestions? Georgia Rhem, grhem6@***.com
