More and more users prefer automatic dishwashing in the PMM, and many use Fairy capsules and tablets. We offer an overview of the funds: the pros and cons, current prices and reviews from experienced users.
Fairy dishwasher products in our stores are predominantly domestically produced. But if you wish, you can find dishwashing detergents made in Poland, Finland or Belgium. The composition has uniform standards, so the ingredients are practically the same. Let us consider in detail the four types of tablets (capsules) from Fairy.
Fairy Powerdrops
More like not ordinary dishwasher tablets, but like pads. According to the manufacturers, they have a universal purpose, high-quality composition and excellent properties – gentle washing without streaks. Each tablet has a protective shell that dissolves in the dishwasher. In addition to the standard detergent powder, there are emollients among the components. The composition protects the details of the dishwasher from plaque and scale.
These are Finnish tablets, so it will be difficult to find them in regular outlets. But users who prefer Fairy Powerdrops order goods online. In addition to the classic ones, there are packs with lemon.
Packing – from 30 to 90 pieces in one package, cost – from 400 to 1100 rubles.
Fairy Powerdrops All in One
Another version of Fairy, made in the form of capsules. The composition is aimed at:
- water softening;
- washing dishes without streaks;
- prevention of corrosion and darkening of PMM steel surfaces;
- preventing tarnishing of glassware;
- fast action thanks to the soluble shell.
Supplied in a package of 50 pieces, weight – 828 g. The price is 725 rubles. Production is also Finnish.
Fairy All in 1
Capsules consist of three substances: a powder and two compartments with a blue and green (sometimes yellow) gel.
What the manufacturer promises when using universal capsules:
- the highest quality of washing;
- fat washing;
- removal of old contaminants;
- giving shine to dishes;
- effect in water of any temperature, even cold;
- fast action thanks to the self-dissolving packaging of each individual capsule;
- maintenance of silver and glassware;
- antiscale effect;
- regenerating salt and rinse aid.
Instructions for use states that the tablets must be loaded into a specially provided cell on the door of the PMM hopper. If the compartment is too small for a capsule, you can put the All in One tablet in the cutlery basket without setting the prewash function.
Important! The tablets are suitable for use in regions with water hardness less than 21 dH. To check the stiffness, use special test strips. About, how to find the hardness of water, we wrote in one of the publications.
The instructions indicate that when the rinse aid and salt indicators are lit, you don’t have to panic – the components contained in each capsule will ideally cope with softening water and rinsing dishes. Do not use capsules for washing porcelain or crystal dishes. When loading silver into the dishwasher, it is worth making sure that silver utensils do not touch metal parts.
Important! Do not store dishwasher tablets in direct sunlight, in a dry place, at a temperature of no more than 35 degrees.
Packing All in 1 – soft waterproof bags with a zip fastener of 26, 39, 52 or 65 pieces. The cost varies from 500 to 1500 rubles.

FAIRY tablets: user reviews
What is the opinion of experienced users about Fairy tablets?
Olga, Anapa
I bought All in 1, noticing that they are on sale – 1,5 times cheaper than usual. I did not expect anything, but the result was nothing. The shell dissolves – the main thing is to lay the capsule with the powder up. The composition is similar to Finish Quantum, but the cost is lower, and the dishes are the same – clean, shiny and without streaks.
Svetlana, Moscow
My Fairy Platinum tablets were bought in Finland. It was over a year ago, a pack cost $20. Then I bought a domestic analogue and was disappointed with the quality. Everything looks the same, but the dishes are 7 points out of 10. I like the plates to creak and the glass to shine. Neither the Russian nor the Finnish trains coped with the pans and pots – and plaque, and stains, it was all there. Anyway, if we consider the Finnish “Fairy”, it is the best of what is in stores.
Alexander, Ufa
I myself am engaged in IVF preparations (cosmetics), so I know what, how and what harms. Capsules with 30% phosphates … MDA, if you do not feel sorry for yourself, then at least think about the environment. From surfactants and fragrances in the composition, I am also not happy. Washes – yes, but how environmentally friendly, that is the question?
As you can see, in general, there is a positive opinion about Fairy products, but there is no point in arguing with the obvious – today they are not the most environmentally friendly. Therefore, for those who carefully choose household chemicals, taking care of their health and the environment, Fairy is not suitable.
