More and more users prefer automatic dishwashing in PMM, and many use Fairy capsules and tablets. We offer an overview of the products: pros and cons, current prices and reviews from experienced users.
Fairy products for the dishwasher in our stores are mainly of domestic production. 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's take a closer look at four types of tablets (capsules) from Fairy.
Fairy Powerdrops
They look more like pads rather than regular dishwasher tablets. According to the manufacturers, they have a universal purpose, high-quality composition and excellent properties - gentle washing without streaks. Each tablet has a protective coating that dissolves in the dishwasher. In addition to standard detergent powder, the components include softening agents. The composition protects dishwasher parts from plaque and scale.
These are Finnish tablets, so they will be difficult to find in regular retail outlets. But users who prefer Fairy Powerdrops order the product 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 steel surfaces of PMM;
- preventing glassware from tarnishing;
- fast action due to soluble coating.
Supplied in a package of 50 pieces, weight - 828 g. Price is 725 rubles. The production is also Finnish.
Fairy All in 1
The 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:
- superior washing quality;
- fat washing;
- removal of old contaminants;
- adding shine to dishes;
- effect in water of any temperature, even cold;
- fast action thanks to the self-dissolving packaging of each individual capsule;
- care of silver and glassware;
- anti-scale effect;
- regenerating salt and rinse aid included.
The instructions for use state that the tablets must be loaded into a specially designed cell on the door of the PMM hopper. If the compartment is too small for the capsule, you can put the All in One tablet in the cutlery basket without setting the pre-wash function.
Important! The tablets are suitable for use in regions with water hardness less than 21 dH. To check hardness, use special test strips. We wrote about how to find out the hardness of water in one of our publications.
The instructions indicate that when the rinse aid and salt indicators are lit, there is no need to panic - the components contained in each capsule will ideally cope with softening the water and rinsing the dishes. Do not use capsules for washing porcelain or crystal dishes. When loading silver into the dishwasher, you should make sure that the silver utensils do not touch metal parts.
Important! Dishwasher tablets should not be stored in direct sunlight, in a dry place, at a temperature of no more than 35 degrees.
All in 1 packaging - soft waterproof bags with a ZIP fastener of 26, 39, 52 or 65 pieces. The cost varies from 500 to 1500 rubles.
Review of tablets (capsules) for PMM
A large number of dishwashing tablets are produced under the name Fairy; let’s look at the line of topical products.
What do all the brand’s capsules have in common? Firstly, 1 tablet, regardless of composition, washes all dishes the first time. Secondly, even with short-term washing and low temperatures, Fairy copes with all contaminants. Thirdly, the product works actively in water of any hardness.
Remedy #1 – Fairy Powerdrops
These small pads, according to the manufacturer, are a multi-functional dishwashing detergent. In addition to powerful detergents (gels and powder), the composition also contains softening salts. After washing with these tablets, there will be no streaks or food particles left on your dishes. Each tablet has individual, water-soluble packaging.
Fairy tablets are suitable for any type of dishwasher. One such capsule is designed for one wash cycle; there is no need to separate them several times
There are different packaging: 30, 60, 90 or more pieces in zip packages. Fairy Powerdrops are available with or without lemon scent.
Remedy #2 – Fairy All in 1
These compressed capsules, like the previous one, are filled with compressed white dish powder, green and blue gels. The tablets are in a waterproof zip bag.
The manufacturer states on the packaging that active cleaning chemicals have the following properties:
- cleans dishes perfectly;
- remove fat efficiently;
- even get rid of stubborn dried dirt;
- give shine to all dishes;
- wash “until squeaky” in both hot and cool water;
- packaging that does not require opening dissolves gradually;
- delicately clean silver and glassware;
- fight the appearance of scale on dishwasher parts;
- have antibacterial function.
The instructions for using the tablets indicate that they must be placed in a special compartment of the dishwasher. If the capsule does not fit into the compartment, then it can be placed in a box for forks and spoons.
In this case, it is not advisable to select a pre-soak program. These capsules will get the job done effectively, so you won't need to add extra salt or extra rinse aid.
Fairy All in 1 tablets not only clean cutlery, but also take care of the dishwasher. The assortment includes capsules without flavors (Original) or with lemon scent
Please note that these tablets can be used in water with a hardness of no higher than 21 dH.
However, Fairy All in 1 tablets are not recommended for cleaning antique or Chinese porcelain, as well as crystal products. If you want to wash silverware in the dishwasher, make sure that it does not touch stainless steel items.
Fairy All in 1 capsules are packaged in special waterproof packs of 26, 39, 52 or 65 pieces.
Remedy #3 – Fairy Jar All in 1
Fairy Jar All in 1 capsules contain an improved detergent formula, which is successfully used to clean any dirt in the latest generation dishwashers with an advanced system for protecting the device from scale formation.
The capsules, like other products in this line, clean cutlery and pots from various contaminants and give them a delicate shine.
The manufacturer guarantees that these tablets have the following capabilities:
- have powerful cleansing components that also work in cold water;
- remove complex contaminants;
- cleanse from stubborn fat;
- work with the “dish soaking” function;
- get rid of tea stains on cups and glasses;
- have the functions of shine (important for glass) and steel shine;
- protect the dishwasher from scale;
- Gently cleans glass and silver.
In addition to the main components, the capsules contain a rinse aid, a special salt, active additives to protect silver, metal, glass, as well as a scale barrier.
Remedy #4 – Fairy Platinum Tablets
Fairy Platinum capsules contain special gel and powder that prevent the formation of scale and white limescale on dishes. They contain a new formula. Now, in addition to washing dishes, they also take care of the cleanliness of the dishwasher itself, and can also prevent corrosion of the internal parts of the device.
Are you using another dishwashing detergent that doesn't keep your dishwasher clean? In this case, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the best cleaning products for your car.
Fairy Platinum capsules are one of the most powerful in the line. They are capable of professionally washing dishes, removing dried grease without additional soaking and caring for a dishwasher.
With these tablets, your glass and steel appliances will shine. Fairy Platinum tablets, like other pressed dishwasher detergents, have a soluble shell and begin to actively act on dirt even in cool water.
The capsules contain the following substances:
- about 30% active phosphates;
- no more than 15% surfactants;
- mild food bleach;
- phosphonates;
- enzymes that actively remove fats;
- chemical flavorings;
- artificial fragrances.
Fairy tablets should be stored in a dry, dark place, at a temperature of no more than 35 degrees, avoiding direct sunlight on the package. In a damp room or when moisture gets into the bag, the tablets may stick together or the protective film may be damaged. And this will cause the gel to leak out or the powder to become soaked. The quality of cleaning dishes depends on proper storage of capsules.
Fairy capsules are contained in a specially waterproof bag equipped with a zip fastener. Make sure that no moisture gets inside the bag - it can ruin the product.
Please note that Fairy dishwasher tablets cannot be replaced with liquid detergent of the same brand. And all because the liquid gel forms too much foam, which can completely damage the dishwasher.
In recent years, Fairy tablets have been produced without phosphates. But if there are small children in the family, allergies or any disease are detected, then keep in mind that Fairy capsules contain anionic surfactants.
The abbreviation surfactant stands for surfactants. Exceeding the norm of anionic surfactants adversely affects the human body. To avoid negative consequences, it is recommended to rinse dishes thoroughly with running water.

FAIRY tablets: user reviews
What do experienced users think about Fairy tablets?
Olga, Anapa
I bought All in 1, noticing that they were on sale - 1.5 times cheaper than usual. I didn’t expect anything, but the result was nothing. The shell dissolves - the main thing is to place the capsule with the powder facing 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 purchased in Finland. This was more than 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 out of 10. I like the plates to squeak and the glass to shine. Neither Russian nor Finnish compounds could cope with frying pans and pots - there were deposits, stains, it all happened. All the same, if we consider the Finnish “Fairy”, it is the best of what is in stores.
Alexander, Ufa
I myself am involved in IVF preparations (cosmetics), so I know what, how and what it harms. Capsules with 30% phosphates... MDA, if you don’t feel sorry for yourself, then at least think about the environment. I’m also not happy with the surfactants and fragrances in the composition. It washes, yes, but how environmentally friendly 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 select household chemicals, taking care of their health and the environment, Fairy is not suitable.
