Does it make foam all through the rinses like every other liquid I have tried?
No Sudz
Its the only recent liquid I`ve used that drops the sudz in the first rinse!!!
Also tested it in a hoover twinny (now they whip sudz for England) and it did the same, first rinse almost gone...no sudz lock with this stuff!!!
Smells fresh as well, worth a try!!!

Anytime one purchases a European laundry product being sold on this side of the pond, it is going to cost more than one would expect. Same is true with Miele and it's Persil and own line of products, and any of the other sources for imported laundry products.
Simple matter is costs involved in importing, distribution and currency exchange (amoung other things), have to be recouped. Finally at the end of the day the seller has to make a profit, or else why bother?
Unless one is going to Europe and personally bringing back the stuff, it is still likely less dear to purchase in North America.
People go on about how much less Persil costs in Germany. Well that may be true, but given the current USA to Euro or British Pound exchange rate, which not only affects product price, but shipping as well, again, unless one is bringing the stuff back personally, it just isn't worth it.
Germany in particular has some VERY dear shipping rates, both domestic, inter-EU and internationally. That one wee bottle or packet of Persil that may cost several times it's price in terms of shipping. Things aren't that much better from the rest of the EU or GB.
Part of the problem is most everything shipped internationally goes by air, which means weight plays a huge factor. Don't know if Miele and other importers use air or sea for shipping, but they are in a different league.

Shipping can be expensive, I'll admit
Unless it happens to be on a slow boat from China.
Germany has ports. They need to commission the SS Persil.

Futhermore To That
Once one starts bringing in more than say a case or so (even then), of products, an import/export license along with other tax/resale IDs are required.
First in order to receive any sort of discount and to lessen the tax/tariff rates (especially products from the EU/UK), one has to prove one is in business, not merely trying to get products at wholesale prices for personal use.
Miele USA is the sole importer to North America for Persil products and believe it or not by contract aggreement each part stays out of the manor of others. One cannot order Persil from Miele Canada and have it shipped to the United States, say to take advantage of favourable exchange rates, and the same is true of Mexico and vice versa. Also if one purchases a Miele appliance in Canada and moves it to the United States, the warranty is then voided as Miele USA will have nothing to do with the product.

So you can see why the stuff costs so much.
