Daisy dishwasher tablets (Tesco) - ok on quick cycle?

Following on from my post a while ago asking which dishwasher tablets people use the Tesco Daisy ones were recommended and they are a good price (£2.50 for 40). No Aldi near me so can't try theirs which were also recommended.

Anyway, I looked on the box of the Daisy ones and it says they are best for cycles of 50 degrees or above. I use the quick wash cycle on my Bosch dishwasher which is a 45 degrees wash and 55 degrees rinse, it takes 30 minutes whereas the other cycles that have higher wash temperatures, even the eco one take about 2 hours! The quick wash skips pre rinse and the drying.

Can anyone tell me whether the Daisy tabs are good on a quick wash or cycle like this before I buy?

Thank you x

    I use them in my Beko dishwasher on a quick wash, usually for plates, mugs, glasses etc.

    I have the same issue with any other wash apart from a quick wash, takes 2 hours + which is annoying as the thing is so bloody noisy.

    If I have any really dirty dishes, i.e pots etc I either use a Finish tablet from my stock I keep, or just wash them by hand in the sink. If you gave them a quick rinse out I still think they'd be fine on quick wash with Daisy.

    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.

    Thank you, our pans won't go in the dishwasher anyway so generally mugs, plates etc with food quickly rinsed off

    I use them on a quick cycle in my dishwasher, only once or twice they haven't totally cleaned all the dishes. And that's only because it was leftover risotto stuck to the bowls, and I had overloaded it :o
    Can't think of anything smart to put here...
