    BEST PERFORMANCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

    Pros

    - I think these should be rated top/best due to their environmental credentials;
    - Environmentally good, most are not and are quite bad for the environment and grey water they discharge into;
    - Wash very well (we can split one in half to use in one of our dish drawers);
    - Smell good, and not overly perfumed when they run and after the wash is finished (Fairy, OK on the environmental front, has a very pungent chemical smell);
    - Made in NZ (lower carbon footprint, Finish are made overseas and imported).

    Cons

    - Availability, sometimes they are out of stock (probably because they are good)

    Recommend it?

    Yes, I recommend this product.
