you are welcome =)
awesome - thanks!
stocking up for the next 3 years worth
i personally use aldi's logix washing powder 3.69 per kilo
works out to be 0.0735c per wash
but if convenience is what your after this is alright
Yeah we usesd that up until a few months ago, as I thought they're the same & you pay a significant lazy tax for the tablets. Then we were given a 1/2 box of the bulk aldi tablets (the ones you have to peel the wrappers off) and some how they actually appear to work better (as in much less dishes/cups still a bit dirty and some how the dishwasher insides are cleaner).
Yeah we recently bought those same ones (where you must unwrap ahead of use): they're properly great.
13 washes for 1 cent. Bargain
Might want to move that decimal point.
I was using the Unamat powder which was selling for $2 in a cardboard box, but they stopped selling it a couple of years ago. I resort to the budget Coles powder now, also in cardboard and could be from the same factory as the Unamat used to be. Can't seem to see a difference however after a couple of years some of my glasses are a bit foggy (I never use rinse aid though)
Thanks for the tip on the coles powder.
Avoid rinse aid. Avoid milk froth cleaner. There are natural alternatives.
Can you suggest any?
@Jackson: Alcohol mixed with a little citric acid (optional). The cheapest vodka you can buy will do… works to get rid of streak marks on windows/mirrors too (and it doesn't smell like vinegar).
@tonydav:
I was told Vinegar can damage both dishwasher and washing machines when used as rinse aid and softener
@Peanut money: the key ingredients in most streak free glass cleaners are alcohol, and sometimes citric acid.. both should be fine for a dishwasher… also vinegar isn't the most pleasant smelling stuff IMO.
I don't have a dishwasher yet but bought $210 worth lol
Any deals on a decent dishwasher
Something European. My Blanco is awesome.
is it compatible with Quantum Powergel tablets :P
I dunno. I put them in and they work but I haven't read any documentation to confirm it…
Agreed, my Blanco has been brilliant
I know this is just as anecdotal but my Blanco has been nothing but trouble.
Probably made on Friday.
I know this is just as anecdotal but my Blanco has been nothing but trouble.
Blanco rank poorly in the choice reliability surveys by a large margain. Miele followed by Bosch are at the top consistently.
I have a Miele dishwasher and it is superb.
Same ours is over twenty years old and works like new.
How soon until this is OzBargained?
3…. 2 …… 1
Close to best price ever here, definite buy .. :-) .. !! (9 cents, May 2015, damaged box, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/194379)
Those were Powerball Classic. These are Quantum. Better buy!
I got that deal too, they're ok but have nothing on the Quantums. Probably gonna give the Classics to the parents or something.
As a matter of academic interest, how are the Quantums better? I use the the Classics and everything comes out clean 100% of the time, I don't see how that could be improved .. 😕 .. ??
Depends on how dirty are your stuffs you put in.
Non-academically speaking, It's probably just me but the occasionally item doesn't get cleaned too well compared to when I used Quantums. But as superforever mentioned l, it varies from household to household. I'm a fair slob. 😬
Rinse aid already included in the quantum
i'm still going through those :)
I have 378 tablets in my warehouse. I would've bought another 240 at this price though.
@sween64:
Iv got 400 plus in storage
Bought 480
I'm now sweating on the useful life of these damn things
The pack works out at $0.30 per tablet, and can supply you for six months based on one tablet per day.
The former being incorrect I can understand, but the latter…. regardless of whether or not it refers to 1 pack or 4.
Clearly different type of professionals work at HN
Great first post Dr Cheapo!
thanks nbn!
There's a phrase I thought I'd never hear.
I purchased a set, thanks OP
Although took me a while to figure out if im getting 1 box or 4 box's…. so 240 tablets?
yeah i thought this to but i confirmed with store rep this morning - 240!
Just confirmed too with online rep . It's 240 in total. Remember to keep screen shots
Reminds me of the time i purchased TONGS from TGG, and it had a picture of a 10pack, and they rang me and said they where out of stock, and i couldnt be sent one tong, i said its for a 10 pack? they replyed nope just 1 tong. , i replied who in their right mind would pay $10 for 1 tong LOL.
How do you guys seriously find this kind of bargain xD.
Bought 1 set, thanks !
Gerry: "the professionals strike again"
Jerry: "Newman!"
Norman?
Price Hipster 😀
Delivery to Perth is $15! No deal!
Jk.. I bought 5 :P
Thanks OP. Grabbed some cheers
my last box was 4 x 60 = 240 (inside the box they're 6x5 double layered)
is this parallel import?
Bargain thx op
Thanks. Bargain!
Thanks, bought a pack.
Thanks OP, bought two packs or 480.
We use these at work, however often there is still 1/3 of a tablet smooshed in the bottom of the soap tray. I read online that sometimes this happens on short wash, however we always use the long wash. The only remedy it seems is to go back to powder (F&P unit, not the 2 drawer type)
it happens with any brand
Have you tried pre-soaking the tablet with a splash of water? May help the exterior skin dissolve.
Not tried anything as I only see the aftermath
which one is better… classic or quantum??
quantum sounds nicer and also feels like there's more science involved.
haha… you are funny!!! all that just from the name?? lol
i only bought 3 lots, hope i don't regret buying more
Thanks OP…brought a pack (240) :) Even though this morning the wife and I were bragging how we wont need to buy tablets for a year after the last Ozbargain deal…lol
Better break the news to her…..
Anyone know what the scent is like? I've only ever tried the us scented dishwasher tablets.
us scented? Do they use gun powder?
Unscented apparently that's not a word my iPad wishes to recognise 😝
Haha! Try 'unsmelly' next time ;)
Crazy deal, thanks OP!
Thanks ops. Had to order 4 lots to justify the $15 postage, still works out about 10c each
Thanks OP, got 2
Thanks OP just grabbed 3 lots, should keep the dishes clean for a while
i got 2400 tablets in total.
should get away with one wash every other day so ~160 tablets a year so these should last us a lifetime lol
Just wait till you have kids.
And… they're gone :)
far out - missed it by a minute
Are we done here?
Ozbargained.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I was just at the checkout!!!! got upto the payment method and then it disappeared on me…
Yeh I think it was a pricing error to begin with, considering that the stand alone 60 pack was $21 as well
The apple ones are on special at coles as well, though not like this special, I think it just doesnt well well so places have been given some markdowns to clear them I am not sure it was an error just a get rid of these non selling apple tablets
Clearly something wrong with Apple tablets.
Non apple tablets perform way better
More RAM?
how long til the cancellation emails?
Something's gone wrong!
Booo … its gone.
Silly me was reading the ozbargain comments, probably would have bought one if acted quicker, lol

Store pick up is not available for this product. Please order online to have this delivered
so you can't buy it in-store even though it says "IN BIG BUYS STORES AND ONLINE"?
correct. but even if you go you wont find any because ozbargain just bought the entire stock
thanks but how do you know that's not just warehouse stock as opposed to in-store stock given that click+collect wasn't available?
Orders get fulfilled from the stores. They most likely will get a phone call from head office not to sell any to fulfill the ozbargainers professionals orders
ozbargaineasternculture just bought the entire stock
FTFY
Absolute bargain! Thanks.
