Somat for dishwashers is a fairly popular brand, but not as advertised and known as Finish. And in terms of quality, it is no worse and significantly cheaper. Of course, there are reviews and not very good ones, but in fairness: what product are 100% of buyers satisfied with? There is no such thing in the world!
In our review, you will learn first-hand what those who do not like to do the dishes with their hands are saying about it, learn a short history of the brand and read our conclusions from the reviews.
A little about the manufacturer Henkel
Yes, exactly the same famous Henkel! Many buyers are confused by the name "Somat", since it is practically unknown. And to see who the manufacturer is, they do not always guess and hastily conclude that it is not worth the risk and it is better to take something more serious. Henkel is an old German company with 340 factories in 70 countries.
It was founded back in 1876 and was originally aimed at the production of washing powders. The most famous product on our market is Persil. So now you know that there is nothing questionable about this name.

Somat dishwasher tablets, reviews
Marina, Tver
A good tool, you can take it!
Advantages- price, quality, excellent cleaning
disadvantages- the tablet is packed in a film, it is inconvenient to unfold
We bought the dishwasher three years ago. At first, I took detergents only separately: powder, salt and rinse aid. It was much cheaper that way.
But over time, from the fact that the funds do not end at the same time, you get a little tired. If you forget to take something on time, the wash will be postponed. Therefore, I started looking for pills.
I found the somat according to the action and one tablet came out for only 9 rubles. I tried it and did not regret it at all!
Washes perfectly, even soot washes away. And what is important, a convenient size: quite small. Some are so huge and uncomfortable that they get stuck in the compartment. In general, I recommend!
Natalia, Stavropol
Very happy, super! At this price, it's a fairy tale!
Advantages- washes everything!
disadvantages- without smell
We bought the product for only 400 rubles! Frankly, before I took only expensive pills, as it was scary to harm the new typewriter. But, over time, I still began to look around and look for an alternative. Still, to shell out 1,500 rubles a month is quite tangible for our family.
Somat has become just a salvation! He washes everything: greasy oil cans, pots, cups with a touch of tea. The dishes just squeak to the touch. In one word - class!
Anastasia, Oryol
Threw them away ... Do not dissolve!
Advantages - there are none!
disadvantages - one big drawback!
I was very upset and realized that they were telling the truth - a miser pays twice. These miracle tablets do not dissolve even in two washes. And, naturally, the dishes were washed very badly. I threw it away without looking.
Expert comment:
These are the conflicting reviews. We believe that this is because the customers used different washing modes. If you wash with water at 60 degrees on a medium mode, then the tablets dissolve perfectly and wash everything.

Powder for dishwashers Somat, reviews
Ksenia, Moscow
In my opinion, this is just perfect!
Advantages - price, washes well
disadvantages - did not find
One sink costs only 4 rubles, which, you know, is just a great option. The salt lasts for a long time, and the rinse aid is optional.
Therefore, I do not see any point in complex products and tablets. The main thing is that it washes well and does not leave streaks. And I don't need more.
Olga, Orsk
1 teaspoon and all utensils as new!
Advantages - solid dignity, the most convenient packaging
disadvantages - there is none of them
I have been using a dishwasher for 7 years now. During this time, I tried everything I could. But no powder made such an impression on me.
A 2.5 kg package costs only 470 rubles. First, I poured in the recommended dose, it washed out until it creaked. But once, when I ran out of it, I poured out the rest, there was no more than a teaspoon. And, imagine, the effect of washing was the same! Of course, the dishes were medium soiled, but still ...
It is important that the packaging is not cardboard. It will not get wet if moisture accidentally gets on it and does not deteriorate.
Expert comment:
The reviews are unanimous, and nowhere on the web have we found a single bad word about this product. So, we strongly recommend it.
Somat dishwasher gel, reviews
Margarita, Volgograd
Not bad, but inconvenient to pour.
Advantages - ideal for small cars, inexpensive
disadvantages - the product is poured unevenly
I can say that he washes very well. But, I don't like pouring it at all. Why the manufacturers did just that is not clear. According to the instructions, you need to deftly pour both that and that color the same amount. But, it never happens. And in the end, one color always ends earlier.
So this is a fat minus. Anyway, the gel is such a thing that I see no point in using it on an ongoing basis. Powders are more economical, and I take the gel only when there is no powder on the shelves, but I urgently need it.
Daria, Perm
Too aggressive smell and high consumption!
Advantages - maybe the price, but the powder is still cheaper
disadvantages - the smell is strong, the consumption is huge, it is inconvenient to pour
I took a bite and bought it. I cannot say that I am very sorry, but the tool did not make any impression. The smell is too intrusive for me. When washing, the whole kitchen smells like it.
And it ends somehow too quickly. The recommended dose is 30 ml. But this is not enough! It is necessary to pour an almost full compartment, and only then will it make sense.
Expert comment:
Yes, gel, apparently, is not the best option. In terms of prices, it is no more profitable than pills, and there is more hassle, and ends faster. Somat for dishwashers, so it is best to take it in powder form!
