We are a few months on from making the switch to shine pro 18 in 1 and I am still so happy with that decision. These are so effective and leave the dishes clean and sparkly. Glasses come out feeling squeaky clean. It’s even keeping the actual dishwasher cleaner than our previous brand too. Love this product and highly recommend to anyone who will listen. If your thinking of switching don’t hesitate. A superior product at an excellent price.

Shine cleans my dishes thoroughly and is great value. I would definitely recommend Shine over the other tablets I have been using They dissolve really well as the tablets I have been using previously don’t always dissolve and are more expensive. I now only use Shine over the other products available.

Last night I had my first real baked on dish go through the dishwasher. I’ve had tablets in the past that don’t wash these dishes very well unless soaked first and then scrubbed a little. This time I didn’t do any of thatxi popped out straight into the dishwasher. The results – outstanding! Apart from 2-3 very small specks it was Crystal clear.
Another thing I have noticed is that my dishwasher no longer smells! Bonus!

I received my shine product in the mail and I have to admit, as a long time user of powerballs, I was extremely dubious! They come in a cute little resealable pouch. I was worried at first because they felt like they would burst in touch, but the balls were actually quite durable. I enlisted the help of my kids to load the dishwasher and fill it to the brim. Dirty dishes, cutlery, classes and casserole dishes. The powerballs do a good job so this would be the test!
An hour later we pull out the white dishes and they are dazzling… no musty smell and all of my glasses are shining! I am very impressed and I’m likely to purchase in the future.

I was recently sent some of these pods for a trial and I cannot say how impressed myself and my family have been with their effectiveness. They clean anything and leave glasses and crockery shining bright. The scent coming out of the dishwasher upon opening is light and refreshing. I am very impressed. I will certainly tell my friends to give them a try and they will save money on their usual products.

I’ve always used branded products until my recent swap to a own brand which was okay but not impressive, then the Shine pads arrived in my post box..OMG
The first thing i noticed when i opened them was the amazing smell, not chemically just fresh and clean. I always wash on a quick 30 minute wash so was a little skeptical but they were great, everything was clean, no marks on the wine glasses, yes there were a few in the load, and the dishwasher smelt nice when i opened it, instead of a damp smell id noticed with past tablets.
Then i tried them on the full wash, with bowls i\’d used to bake, so there was melted choc which had set hard and a lasagna dish with a few burnt bits around the edge, i thought no way they will clean this little lot..well they did!!! I was amazed thankyou shine pods you\’ve saved me having to rewash or rinse the \’washed\’dishes.

These dishwasher pod cleaners are fantastic. They are handy, easy to use and my children know how to pop them in to help me out. I also like the way that they are stored. They have a lovely scent and wash my dishes as good or even better than other known dishwashing cleaning agents/brands. i will continue to buy these for my home.

When I used the tablets it seemed to clean reasonably well on slightly dirty items not so much on the pots and pans and works well on a normal cycle. If you looking for a reasonably priced product that does a reasonable job, this would be the product to use. I still buy this product in my weekly shop as it is the cheapest option and will continue to use until I find a product similar an price that does as good or better job at cleaning my dishes. Just wish it did a better job on the pots and pans.

Iv’e tried all other dishwasher brands from well know advertised ones to Aldi brands. Plesently surprised this product restored my confidence in clean dishes the first time. Plus the machine was sparkly clean too. Didn’t dull plastics or leave a resedue like other brands. Easy to use, resealable soft pouch bags stoe capsules, without sacrificing the space of other products.

I have now been using Shine 18 in 1 Pro Dishwasher Pods for a couple of months now. I have no intentions of going back to my previous brand.

I tried these and they were fantastic. They worked just as well as my usual brand but for half the price. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I unloaded my dishwasher. I’ve since bought more of them and I’m using them alternately with my usual brand. That’s only because my husband bought me a years supply of my usual brand so we could stock up on them while they were on a super special.

Shine Pro 18 in 1 Dishwashing Pods left my dishes clean on every wash. I mainly wash on a 30 minute 30 degree wash and they were perfect. Unfortunately, more often than not a lot of them had popped in the bag so the detergent leaked everywhere. Besides that, I thought they were awesome. The smell is nice and it dissolved easily in my dishwasher.

I absolutely LOVE the Shine Pro Diswashing Pods. Now I’ve definitely been through quite a few brands and these are now a current favourite. Your dishes are left with such a refreshed and clean smell without any excess residue. I love the fact they are convenient (which means no wrappers) and also I’ve found them to be extremely affordable. Another thing I love is most of my dishes came out clear! This is a product I would highly recommend and continue to buy.

We have just finished up with all our visitors staying for a very busy Christmas. I think all I did was wash up, cook and eat – not necessarily in that order. I was really impressed with my Shine ProDishwasher Pods, and how they handled the extra grease and grime. At Christmas I make lots of dishes that I wouldn’t usually – roast meats, cheeses, cream, caramel and sauces. I know that during years gone by, I would pre-rinse all crockery, cutlery, pots and pans, (as if I didn’t, there would be food/oil left on them) but this year I didn’t need to. I was particularly impressed with the way my pyrex baking dishes came up. I had made some potato bake, which was fairly messy and had crusty cheese and cream baked on. Not only was my baking dish clean, but it actually shone. I’ve used many different types of dishwasher tablets/powders and pods, and have NEVER seen that happen before. It’s nice to be able to have a product that actually does what it promises to do!

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
What a great help for busy Mommas like us. From the style to comfort and convenience, this article really put the best for our kids. Not to mention the added info about safety on what these lunchboxes were made of! I am also impressed about the organisation function of each, it seems small but woooh could put so much…thanks for sharing this article
