How is fiddling a thing out of a box more convenient than putting a spoon in a box? I don't get that argument.

when i used pods, i had open box under counter. i could with literally closed eyes to take one and put it in machine without looking. using spoon involves more actions and there are chance that some of the powder will end up on floor/inside cabinet/etc.

now i use cartridge like this that is replaced once in 3 weeks https://www.mieleusa.com/c/powerdisk-automatic-dishwasher-de...

it's even more convenient.

That's not my experience. When I use pods, I need to fiddle them out of the (small) box, remove the "self-dissolvable" plastic, open the bin, put it in, close it and put the pod into the dishwasher. With powder, I take the pot out, hold it over the dishwasher (no risk of putting powder on the floor) and put some in the dishwasher, with the custom spoon, that has exactly the right size, by moving my hand a few centimeters.

Interesting how people have completely different workflows with something trivial as a dishwasher.

> now i use cartridge

Yes, I agree that's obviously more convenient.

a) get a bigger box for storage

b) why remove self dissolvable plastic ? in 15 years the only time that it didn't dissolve for me was when i blocked dispenser with a plat and pod was stuck on it

a) That's the box, the pods are bought in. I think the point of pods, is that you don't need to "manage" your own storage, when I want to that, I can also use powder.

b) What do you think this dissolves to? Microplastic. The thing we currently have a hard time keeping out of our water reservoirs, rivers, and oceans. Where does it end up? In the (waste) water. Nice.

If you have to go to a laundromat, carrying a couple pods with you is way more convenient.

Vs. carrying a small box, that you would also carry for pods, because you don't want to hold them in your hand the whole time?

I bring a bag to the store. Is it more convenient? no, is it the right thing to do? yes. I'm just making the point that they are more convenient for people in this situation.

you can put pods with laundry. no need in box

Wait, weren't we talking about dishwashers?

admittedly, I commented before watching. Even worse, I watch all of this guy's videos.
