I would buy this product again so please don't discontinue the powder option.
I choose dishwasher powder as I live in Scotland, which is a soft water area, and it allows me to decide how much detergent to use depending on the degree of soiling on the dishwasher load. I also don't like Tablets or Gel tabs as the covering can partially dissolve and potentially clog the pipework in my dishwasher.
I am very distressed to learn that I am going to be forced to use tablets or gel tabs as I believe the powder option is to be discontinued.
I am annoyed that every manufacturer is dictating what I have to use when I would prefer to be the master of my own decisions. My dishwasher is 18 months old and has measuring lines within the detergent dispenser - why am I no longer going to be able to choose to use Miele Dishwashing powder?
