I still don’t understand why people think using only a table spoon of detergent is a good idea, ends up causing more problems later on. I always use a cup or more I of detergent in mine, sometimes I’ll use 2 cups of detergent just to be sure.

Detergent is cheap, rebuilds and repairs are expensive.

That's geared towards front loaders, which in some cases is the right dosage in soft water conditions.

It's definitely way too little for non HE top loaders, even with the softest water.

It is better to overdose, than to under-dose detergent. In fact I find a slightly elevated dose results in softer clothes and towels. Grime, oil and dirt has no place in or on clothing. I'd rather have a bit of detergent residue than the soil that went into the machine.
