The Bottom Line
Cascade has formed their dishwashing detergent into a small, 2in1 Action Pac pellet (combining it with some Dawn detergent) and packaged it in a dissolving plastic skin. The result is a time-saving ergonomic advantage. Filling your dishwasher with soap now takes 1/6th the time it use to.
Pros
- Perfectly proportioned packs simplify the task of loading soap in a dishwasher
- Two types of detergent amplify the cleaning power
- A plastic storage bucket with an easy open lid keeps the packets readily accessible
Cons
- Do not grab the packet with wet hands or you may dissolve the wrapping and make a huge mess.
Description
- Cascade Action Pacs house all the detergent you need for a single load. Just throw one in the dishwasher and you are done.
- By combining Cascade and Dawn you get two types of cleansing action.
- The larger size comes in a plastic bucket that makes it even easier to get to your packets.
- The packets are wrapped in a water soluble plastic so grabbing them with wet hands is not a good idea.
Guide Review - Cascade 2in1 Action Pacs Ergonomic Review
Cascade is a rather popular and effective automatic dishwasher detergent. And they have given you a new ergonomic tool that will reduce your task time by 80% (according to my dishwashing detergent usability test).
Cascade’s 2in1 Action Pacs put a measured amount of Cascade dishwashing detergent and some Dawn dishwashing liquid in a little packet. This gives you some good ergonomic enhancements.
First, you get two types of cleansing action so your dishes come out cleaner. Second, you use less detergent since you only need one packet and don’t have to fill up both soap containers in the dishwasher. And third, it only takes 1/6th the time to add soap to the dishwasher.
To optimize your time savings, get the larger size that comes in a plastic bucket with a hinged lid as opposed to the smaller size that comes in a resealable bag. Opening and closing that bag may eat up all your time savings!
