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, the reviews are not very good, but, in fairness: what product are 100% satisfied with customers? 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! The name “Somat” confuses many buyers, as it is almost 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 of the world.
It was founded back in 1876 and was originally aimed at the production of washing powders. The most famous product in our market is Persil. So now you know that there is nothing questionable about this name.

Tablets for dishwashers Somat, 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 a 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 funds do not end at the same time, you get a little tired. You forget to take something in time, the washing is delayed. Therefore, I started looking for pills.
I found somat according to the action and one tablet came out in total ... I tried it and did not regret it at all!
Washes perfectly, even soot washes away. And what's important, convenient size: quite small. Some are so huge and uncomfortable that they get stuck in the compartment. In general, I recommend!
Natalia, Stavropol
Very satisfied, super! At this price, it's a fairy tale!
Advantages- launders everything!
disadvantages- without smell
Bought a tool for only ! Frankly, before I took only expensive pills, as it was scary to harm a new typewriter. But, over time, I still began to look around and look for an alternative. Still, lay out per month, this is quite tangible for our family.
Somat was just a salvation! He washes everything: greasy butter cans, pots, cups with a touch of tea. Ware to the touch just creaks. In one word - class!
Anastasia, Oryol
Threw them away ... Do not dissolve!
Advantages - there are none!
disadvantages - one continuous flaw!
I was very upset and realized that they were telling the truth - the avaricious pays twice.These miracle pills do not dissolve even in two washes. And, of course, the dishes are washed very poorly. Threw away without looking.
Expert Commentary:
These are conflicting reviews. We believe that the point here is that buyers used different washing modes. If you wash with water at 60 degrees in medium mode, then the tablets dissolve perfectly and wash everything.

Powder for dishwasher Somat, reviews
Ksenia, Moscow
In my opinion, this is just perfect!
Advantages - price, perfectly launder
disadvantages - did not find
One wash goes to that, you know, is just a great option. There is enough salt for a long time, and rinse is an optional thing.
Therefore, I do not see any point in complex preparations and tablets. The main thing is that it qualitatively launders and does not leave stains. And I don’t need more.
Olga, Orsk
1 teaspoon and all the dishes, as good as new!
Advantages - continuous advantage, the most convenient packaging
disadvantages - there is none of them
I have been using the dishwasher for 7 years. During this time, I tried everything that is possible. But not a single powder made such an impression on me.
Packaging 2.5 kg costs only . At first I poured the recommended dose, washed it to a creak. But once, when I was running 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 of medium pollution, 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 Commentary:
The reviews are unanimous, and nowhere on the network did we find a single bad word about this product. So, we safely recommend it.
Gel for dishwashers Somat, reviews
Margarita, Volgograd
Not bad, but inconvenient to pour.
Advantages - ideal for small cars, inexpensive
disadvantages - unevenly poured means
I can say that he washes very well. But I don’t like to pour it at all. Why manufacturers did just that is unclear. According to the instructions, you need to deftly pour both the same color and the same amount. But it never comes out that way. And in the end, one color always ends earlier.
So this is a fat minus. Anyway, gel is such a thing that I do not see any reason to use 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
Pecked at the novelty, bought. I can’t say that I am very sorry, but the product 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! You need to pour almost a full compartment, and only then will it be worthwhile.
Expert Commentary:
Yes, gel, apparently, is not the best option. At prices, it is no more profitable than pills, and more trouble, and ends faster. Somat for dishwashers, therefore, it is best to take in the form of a powder!
