Product Reviews of Seventh Generation Automatic Dishwasher Gel, Lemon Scent, 45-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6)
Product Review: Doesn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
I've used other Seventh Generation products and been generally satisfied with them. This dishwasher gel simply doesn't work, however. Half of the dishes would still be dirty. My dishes come out clean when using other brands of dishwasher detergent, so it isn't a problem with my dishwasher.Product Review: The only Seventh Generation product I don't like
Summary: 2 Stars
Unfortunately, the Seventh Generation Automatic Dishwasher gel needs to be reformulated and re-released. It's the only product from the company that I don't like and won't buy again until it's "fixed".
When it comes to environmental friendliness, this company is at the top. I have most of their other products and have been crazy happy about them, but not this one.
Like many reviewers have mentioned, you almost need to wash your dishes first before putting them in the machine with this gel. My dishes come out feeling greasy, still having spots on them, and often still having basic food items stuck that would have normally been cleaned off by leading dishwasher gels.
I have tried using prewash with additional gel, as well as going completely overboard and putting 3x the amount I should into the dishwasher. Same results - unclean dishes that have to be washed again with a different type of gel.
My recommendation is to skip this product and check out the other Seventh Generation items which are much higher quality (toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent), but wait on this one until it gets a complete reformulation.
Product Review: Does the job and better for the environment
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been pleased with this product so far. It seems to clean just as well as any other detergent I've used but with the added benefit of being more environmentally friendly. I do have to rinse off stuck-on/dried-on foods but I've always had to do that so it's more likely an issue with my dishwasher. Occasionally, there is some visible residue on the water glasses but easily cleared with adding vinegar to the "jet-dry" dispenser. I will happily continue to use this product. Product Review: It saddens me to write this but this gel simply does not do its job
Summary: 1 Stars
Ok, first of all, I consider myself to be pretty environmentally conscious (I'm obsessed with recycling, eat mostly organic vegetarian food, 95% of my health and beauty products are all natural, cruelty free, phosphate and paraben free etc.). I've used other 7th Generation products, and while they weren't great they were at least satisfactory. I pay a lot of attention about things I purchase, check out company's background, ratings on sites like [...] etc. and I know 7th Generation is environment, health and animal friendly. That's why I feel really bad about writing this review but I have to say that this gel does not clean my dishes AT ALL--I think I'd get better results running my dishwasher without it. First time I tried it I did a normal wash with a normal amount of gel. When I opened the door after the cycle was done the dishes looked pretty much the same as they did when I put them in. There were cereal bits stuck to the bowls, coffee mugs still had coffee in them, plates had bits of food on them. Now, I always rinse out everything before I put it in so the dishes weren't all that dirty to begin with. I decided to run it again, this time putting in enormous amounts of gel and putting my dishwasher on the 'heavy wash' setting. That barely made a difference--the dishes were still dirty. I feel really bad about wasting water for that second load. Sorry 7th Generation, I'm just telling it like it is. :(Product Review: Not worth your money

Does not clean the dishes like the conventional dishwasher liquid used to. You have to reclean the dishes after they have been cleaned in the dishwasher. Would not recommend. I wish I didn't stock up on it :(
