I don't have a dishwasher and I don't have time to watch this video about dishwashers right now, but I am really curious, why is the powder better than gel?
Dishwashers do a pre-wash to get most of the big stuff off, then a main wash to finish up. If you use the capsule-things, there's only soap for the main wash.
If your dishwasher has two compartments, then put detergent in both as one is for the pre-wash and one for the main wash.
If it doesn't have two compartments, then just put some detergent loose with the dishes for the pre-wash.
Gel is basically powder with water mixed in, therefore you are basically buying water for them to premix your detergent with at the factory. You end up paying more for a container of detergent that doesn't last as long, is heavier, and is more expensive. Powder forever!
He also mentioned something about a chemical reaction that happens when the powder hits water that you miss out on when using gel.
