Reviews of Somat for dishwashers

Somat dishwasher detergents The German brand Somat from the famous Henkel brand, which produces products for dishwashers, deserves attention no less than the famous Finish brand. Even if Somat products are not so advertised, the quality does not become better or worse. Therefore, we decided to find out what people think about dishwasher detergents of this brand by analyzing reviews.

Consumer opinion about Somat powder

Svetlana1504, Rostov-on-Don

After my husband's gift of a dishwasher, a serious question arose about how to wash the dishes. At first, we tried to buy only expensive detergents; in addition, we took salt and rinse aid, which cost us a pretty penny. For washing we used tablets from Finish, but they are very expensive, considering that we start the car 2 times a day. After the tablets we switched to powder of the same brand, which became a little cheaper. However, not long ago we saw a 2.5 kg bottle of Somat standard in a store and bought it.

This package of powder lasted us for 3.5 months, which of course is very pleasing, we bought the same product again, since it is economical. The bottle is convenient and has a spout for pouring powder. It washes dishes and cutlery very well, leaving no streaks or white residue. One drawback that is noticeable when opening the bottle is the pungent smell, which cannot but be alarming. However, dishes do not smell anything after washing, so Somat powder has taken root in our kitchen.

Our family has been using the dishwasher for three years now. Initially, probably like many, we bought well-known products from Finish. And I must say, we didn’t feel great results, so we looked for an alternative and cheaper option.We settled on Somat powder. First of all, we thought about savings, and not about the result and quality of washing. However, after using this powder for a while, we noticed that there were no streaks on the glassware and no irritating odor. The verdict was not long in coming: Somat powder turned out to be better than Finish.

A large package weighing 2.5 kg lasts us about 3 months. Rinse aid from the same manufacturer is used up at the same rate, and salt is used up a little faster. Thanks to the line of products of this brand, I realized how good my Bosch dishwasher is. I am not forcing anyone to buy Somat products, but if you are not satisfied with the washing result, then do not think that there is something wrong with the dishwasher, just change the detergent.

Olesssia, Rostov-on-Don

I use Somat dishwasher powder only if I buy it on sale, because I think that the regular price is too high and it’s not worth the money. I'll explain why:

firstly, the powder does not dissolve well and often remains at the bottom of the machine;
secondly, “white dust” and stains sometimes remain on the dishes;
thirdly, it copes well only with lightly soiled dishes, but does not wash away heavily soiled dishes.

But I still buy it, because for my machine with a capacity of 12 sets, 1 tablet of detergent is not enough, and two is too much. Somat can be bought at 2 times cheaper than the regular price, and its packaging is very convenient. In general, the product is not bad, the rating is satisfactory.

I want to find a good dishwasher cleaner, so I try different powders and tablets. And in Auchan I bought 2.5 kg of powder in a red Somat Standard Soda Effect bottle. I pour 1.5 teaspoons of this powder into my 12-set dishwasher.The dishes are clean after washing, without streaks or whitish deposits. The only thing that may not be washed off is old grease from frying pans.

The packaging is a bit heavy, but convenient. I can say that so far this is the best detergent I have tried. I recommend!

How great it is to have a dishwasher in your home. But choosing a product for it is problematic, because the market offers gels, powders, and tablets. But I still settled on powder, since it is more economical. The first powder I bought was Somat Soda Effect. At first there were no problems, and I didn’t notice any plaque. But when I tried a powder from a different brand and at a low price, I realized that there was no point in overpaying, because the result was no worse, and even better.

For your information! Products under the Somat brand are produced in Germany, Hungary, Serbia and Russia.

What they say about pills

Alexa1986

For a long time I was looking for a dishwasher detergent that would not be expensive and would work well. As a result, I bought Somat tablets, the packaging of which says “excellent results.” But I will say this: never buy them. These tablets leave streaks and strange stains. Pots are not always washed. The only plus is the lack of smell. I am disappointed with this purchase and will look for another product.

Today I will share my impressions of Somat all in 1 tablets. I bought the tablets on sale, almost for free for 28 pieces for $3. On the packaging there is a promising advertisement about the miraculous properties of these tablets. They will wash away dried food, and the dishes will shine.

To begin with, I decided to use only half a tablet, since the dishwasher is small, and half a tablet from another company is always enough.I note that the tablet packaging does not dissolve, so it must be opened. I'll get to the point, I'm more disappointed in pills than ever. I restarted the washer with a whole tablet, I was in shock. There were stains on the dishes, the cocoa wasn’t washed off the cups, the knives looked like they hadn’t been washed at all, and I’d better not say anything about the dried food. With all this, the machine worked for almost 3 hours at high temperature. In general, I do not recommend buying this product.

A dishwasher recently appeared in our house, which we are very happy about. There are so many dishwashing detergents in stores, their cost is from 0.1 to 0.3 $ per capsule or tablet. Buying the most expensive is not an option, you shouldn’t spend a lot. We were quite satisfied with the SOMAT ALL IN 1 tablets. We immediately took a risk and took a large package. And hurray, we were right, as the dishes are washed perfectly, without streaks. I recommend it, I like it.

When buying tablets from Somat, I fell for the beautiful, bright packaging and appearance of the tablets. In short, the tablets are terrible - they do not dissolve completely, they remain the same as when they were put in the car. After 3-4 washes, it will dissolve, but then it turns out that the dishes are washed in the same way with the long mode as with the fast mode. I felt sorry for the money I spent, but I threw away the package of pills and didn’t use them, don’t experiment.

People's reviews of Somat gel

JuliaFox, Kyiv

I bought dishwasher gel at a 50% discount. Since the dishwasher appeared not so long ago, I’m still trying to find the best product. I bought Somat before Finish powder. In short, I washed the dishes with gel at a temperature of 65 and was surprised by the cleanliness of the glasses, pans and the shine of the plates. There is no smell. The result was impressive, I’ll take another pack for the promotion.Try it, you might like it too.

I will never buy Somat gel again, even on sale! It has a terrible smell that won't come out of the dishwasher. This did not happen with other means. After just over 2 hours the smell should not remain, but it is there, and if plastic dishes are washed, the smell is generally strong. At the end of the wash, you have to ventilate not only the car, but also the kitchen. It’s a shame to throw it away, so I’m waiting for mine to run out.

After visiting a bunch of stores, I bought a dishwasher gel made in Hungary. The packaging is unusual, it consists of two containers connected to each other, the meaning is unclear, because anyway the gel will be mixed in the machine, pouring is extremely inconvenient. In addition, it is very liquid. This product does not have any sharp or unpleasant odor, and it cleans dishes very well, no worse than tablets or powder.

Another advantage of the gel is that it does not contain particles that can scratch dishes.. And this makes it possible to wash Teflon pans. Along with the gel, I also use salt and rinse aid at reduced consumption, despite the fact that it says All in 1.

Conclusion: a good product, economical, completely soluble in water. The downside is that it is too liquid and difficult to pour. I recommend.

Lyubov Sh.

After a week of use I decided to add my review. I have already tried powders and tablets, now it’s time to use a liquid product. At first the smell seemed normal, but after several washes it began to come from the machine and appeared on the dishes. In my opinion, this is too much flavoring.

This product also cleans poorly, even terribly. There is a residue from coffee and tea on white mugs, grease on frying pans. A couple of mugs with this product were completely ruined because some brown spots appeared on them.Now the mugs cannot be washed with anything. Without waiting for the gel to run out, I bought another detergent. I will never buy this again and I don’t recommend it to you.
