"WITCH cleans better"....theres a joke there if you
many reasons to use or not use either one........both come in several formulas, scented, unscented, enzymes, softner, etc.......
both come in liquid and powder.......
TIDE - very powerful, cleans really well, rinses clean....VERY expensive!
SUP - moderately powerful yets cleans a variety of stains well, light scent, rinses very clear, very low suds, SUPER CHEAP to use......I mis the 5 gallon bucket, If I am correct it had a use of 340 for 19.99 on sale....that would actually mean you could wash one load a DAY for almost a YEAR, for around 20 bucks...

I miss that 5 gallon bucket too! I still have one of the empty 5 gallon buckets in my laundry room. you're right it had 340 loads more or less -I'll have to look on my bucket. The buckets were perfect when washing the car, house, etc. I also remember waaaaaaaaaaay back in the 60's and 70's Sears detergent came in 50 pound boxes. Do you remember that?

Used Both
Tide for me does not rinse as well as it used to since the powder has been concentrated for some reason?
The Sears has changed since the last time I purchased. This time it has an orange like scent and similar orang like color but the recommended dosage is way too high for me, I tried it using less and it works like the last batch.But the Tide for some bizarre reason won't rinse like it used to, I don't get it, so as long as the SUP works it will remain the daily driver.

I use both
Sears rinses better, but maybe it's just my kid or something, but Tide seems to remove grease better. (She loves to wipe her greasy hands on the front of her clothes) Dirt, mud, sandbox stuff, Sears appears to handle don't know if better.
Overall happy with both, like the fresh not overpowering scent of Sears. Have been using Tide Coldwater Free lately as well, though a liquid, which I seldom use; I like the results very much.
Main reason I ever tried Sears was recommendations from this site. Tide powder is very sudsy, Sears is not. Tide regular has a powerful scent, Sears does not.
Liquids, The Tide Coldwater regular has a very strong scent but lesser suds, The Tide Coldwater free is just right, no smell, little suds, have no complaints about "left behinds" even in the cooler water.
I still wash my whites in Hot/Cold with Sears
