uhhh.. that Miele is one workhorse of a machine!.. :) and a perfect compliment to the new Tide w/ Bleach Powder. I have always wanted to use the TWB for all of my loads.. colors too.. but have been afraid to. Even though they say that it is color safe, I have still read reviews of people that...

Tide lately has really stepped up the marketing for new Tide with Bleach powder.. Nice to see them doing commercials on POWDERS for a change.. They are claiming.. "White-ish to Wow". Anybody that has this new powder, is it really better than the older, non-compact formula cleaning wise? Does it...

I heard Consumer Reports is going to be testing these new compact formulas soon, so it'll be interesting to see the results.

Just did my very first loads with the new Tide compact powder in my Top Loader. I was very surprised.. You can almost barely notice the suds, such a light coating.. which in the end makes for a clean rinse the first time around; The rinse water was so much clearer. However, I noticed the...

Yeah, bold had detergent+fabric softener in one package back in the 80's. Now, I don't know... It was a brand that was ahead of its time since they were one of the first ones (if not the very first) that started this concept of combining the two together. Tide and the other brands didn't begin...

@ KenmoreGuy64 I just researched it and they already have compacted this one as well. In fact, its available on Amazon.com. By the way, is Bold a good detergent? I've never tried it..

Bold is made by PG? Never knew that..

Speaking of fabric softeners, has anybody tried the new Purex Complete Crystals? The concept seems unique..

Yup, Arm & Hammer has caught on as well, just saw the new compact formulation myself. Looks like All is also expanding its powder selection with the Oxi Active and the Free, clear

I Just got back from my Walmart and saw the new "All" with Oxi in compact powder form for the first time.. very interesting. This one is described as having "beads" very similar to the megapearls format in Persil. I also saw the Tide Lavender Powder for the first time. This is the only store...

I think everybody is headed in this direction. As of right now, one of the only powdered detergents that I have noticed that hasn't changed yet is the Arm & Hammer. This one still the same, with the big boxes in comparison to the new compact formulas.

I agree.. I think that TWBP is the only MAJOR powder Tide has been missing from the HE lineup. Glad to see it finally out. We've waited long enough..

So what does everybody generally think about these new Compact formulas? How are they working out? Is everybody satisfied with them?

Just looked it up, can't believe it.. I always wondered why this never came in powder. Now, low and behold... Thanks for the info!

@Sudsshane Era now makes Powder?!?!? Since when? I've always remembered Era came in liquid. That's shocking and surprising at the same time....... W O W..!

@passatdoc Yes, true. I just always had that gut feeling that Gain was aimed more to the market that prefers scent over cleaning power, and I think I do remember Consumer Reports naming Gain HE Powder as a best buy several years ago. I'm almost 100% sure it was the powder, but interesting fact...

See that's the thing, Gain is way too overly scented to the point of giving you a headache. But yet than again, their entire marketing is geared to those that like a detergent that has a heavier scent. To me, I'm more worried about how well that detergent will wash my clothes rather than having...

Thanks for the pics Jt1985. How is everybody's overall experience with Gain? I think its a detergent with too overwhelming of a scent (for me at least..) I've used the liquid before once and remembered that it also left clothes (towels especially) with a terrible waxy sort of a residue when they...

@passatdoc Yep, Europeans definitely know their Front Loaders pretty well. If you ask me, I don't think the Top loaders will truly go out of style here in my opinion; at least not any time soon.. The reason is, many people are still just finding out about Front Loaders. That, and the fact that...

@passatdoc I agree, I also remember when I was in Europe 2 years ago, the European Market for liquid detergent is very small. It seems as if over 95% of the detergents are powders, and all for a very good reason just as you mentioned; the overall messes using liquid. That definitely explains...
