I tried old school powder in ours and the goo honestly works much better for us.

In order of effectiveness it's goes:

dark green cascade gel bottle > light green gel bottle > cascade powder > any kind of pods

My dishwasher has one crank style knob, so the fact that my wife used Cascade Platinum Pods with Gold Flakes seemed a little pricey for the machine.

Dark green cascade for sure. Was using the light for awhile and my glasses started getting really cloudy. After a few washes with the dark green they're clear again.

I had this issue and ended up just needed a rinse aid. $5 bottle has made it about six months with nearly half of the bottle left.

Try using white vinegar in the rinse aid dispenser. Works great, very cheap and 100 uses around the home. (I sound like a infomercial).

Apparently they are designed for different kinds of mess. The light green is better on some stuff and the dark green is better on other stuff, just we typically have whatever the dark green is better for on our dishes.

In my experience cascade platinum actually does work better, but it's unnecessary for 95% of loads.

It might be worth keeping a few around to use only on heavy duty loads.

I use the gel for prewash and pods for main wash. Gets 98% of stuff clean. Sometimes there's a knife or bowl that has some baked on crap or whatever but it's good enough for army work.

We've got a benchtop (rental) and honestly yes, gel all the way.
