For the longest time, I was a loyal user of Tide Totalcare. As a mom who invests in clothing and believes that proper care will prolong their use for years to come, I am particular about how I wash them. I was quite simply nervous that the use of pods and a standard Tide detergent would fade my darks. But then I read Consumer Reports and they reviewed standard Tide highly with no talk of fading and after years of frustration with the bottles of Tide pouring all over my dispenser cups, I embraced the change. The results: My clothes still look great! Obviously, I use cold water on my darks, but I have not noticed any increased fading. I often miss pretreating on my children's clothing, but everything comes out clean! I do have a great washer and that definitely plays a part, but these little pods do a great job. Odors trapped in athletic apparel come out with ease. One occasional issue: I have a front loader machine (we have a love/hate relationship) and on occasion I will find a bit of the gel substance in the folds of the seal. Everything still appears clean, but it is a waste. In the end, it is far less frustrating than the typical liquid spills and leaks so it would not deter me from using the pods.

We go through these little guys like nobody's business.

We go through these little guys like nobody's business. Yes, Pods are more expensive than the liquid, but my local grocery store puts out $2-3 off coupons pretty regularly so I scoop them up when they're on sale. I buy the ones in the bag, we have an old Pods container I just keep refilling with my discount bag Pods. They're very convenient, no worry about pouring too much liquid detergent in. We've been using them for about 2 years now, and don't plan on going back to liquid any time soon. They smell fantastic, they are super easy and convenient. I feel like they get my clothes just as clean as they would using the liquid or powder detergent, but the pods are more compact so it seems like I don't have to use quite as much product with a pod than I would with liquid or powder detergent. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the pods get stuck to my laundry- I found a partial tide pod and a blue detergent stain stuck on a towel after washing and drying it.

Love the size, the brand is the best great for recycling too for lots of things

I like this brand the best , I was using a different brand for a few years and I can tell the difference in our clothes and how long they lasted as compared to how long they last with a different name brand we used Gain, love that stuff too , but I think Tide has it with these pods easy open tops nice smell to them and great to recycle if you are a diabetic , don't recommend it but in case you have no sharps containers this is great to hold your insulin needles in after the pods are gone too . Gets your clothes cleaner than Gain does , smells fresher longer and just a tough cleaning brand .

Number one in my household

You can't go wrong with Tide. Once you try it you will be hooked on it for life. Love the way it smells and how clean clothes come out. To be honest I don't enjoy some other tides due to their smell but it's a matter of fragrance not the quality of the product. I like buying online since Amazon has a lot of deals and don't have to run from store to store for deals with coupons just to find that they are out of stock lol I recommend going to your local store and smelling them so you know what to expect when buying online.

Love the pods!

First, I'm a loyal Tide customer. I find that Tide does a great job of cleaning my clothes, and I've used it for over 45 years. I've tried other brands on occasion, but always come back to Tide. Having said that, it was natural for me to try these pods. I LOVE them. No more big boxes of dry granules or jugs of soapy liquid. No more spilled soap or granules on the floor, though I DID have a pods "bag" tip and spill the pods on the floor. Easy clean up. Laundry is now easier. No more measuring. No more grabbing soap, then stain cleaners, color booster, etc. One pod does it all, though I now add the pod color booster, too. I like the container, though I wish they had stayed with the clear plastic so I can see when I'm running low, without having to open the container. (For now I transfer pods to the old clear container, and will until that container breaks.) The pod has a nice smell, too. So, easy to use, no spills, no huge boxes and/or jugs? No brainer. I was/am sold! Just keep them where kids can't get them!

I decided to do a price comparison. Take a look at the results!

There are 5 people in our house doing laundry. So, we go through a lot of detergent. I thought I'd give the pods a try. I really like the simplicity of using them. I also found they keep my laundry room cleaner. No gooey plastic cups around and no spills on the washing machine. I have two adult daughters living home and they are not the neatest people. I have had issue with them not putting the cap back on the detergent. A few times they also put it too close to the edge on top of the machine. During a high spin cycle, it ended up all over the floor. It was such a mess. So, the pods solve the messy laundry room and messy kid problems. Given the ease of use, I wanted to reorder. I figured they were probably much more expensive than the other forms of Tide though and perhaps a luxury that I could not afford. So, I decided to do a price comparison. The results follow in order of affordability: 95 oz. powder for $11.97 (.17 per load) 72 pods for $15 (.20 per load) 50 oz liquid for $9.94 (.31 per load) Furthermore, the pods only take up 10% of the prime pantry box whereas the powder takes up 14.4% and the liquid uses 17.6%. The liquid is clearly the worst choice. I decided the ease of use and extra 4.4% of the pantry box was worth the extra 3 cents a load for me. I hope this review helps you decide what form of Tide is right for you!

More convenient and possibly money saving

These might seem more expensive than bottled liquid detergent at first. However, most people use more detergent than they need to. The pods ensure that you use just the right amount of cleaning liquid. They are also more convenient, and are cleaner, since they don't cause drips or spills. In terms of efficacy, I really can't tell the difference between Tide and its closest competitors. This was the biggest box of pods for the lowest price so...

Our favorite laundry item!

I use these consistently and have for as many years as they have been out. I find I spend less for laundry supplies since using them because there's no over measuring. I use 1 for most loads, 2 if I have a heavily soiled large load or am doing our quilts and comforters. I love finding a product I know will deliver what I expect, is affordable, and I don't have to wonder which is the best. I have tried everything over the years and this is the best product for us and our needs.

New IS better

This is one of my favorite current-day products. I was very much a skeptic when it came to a wash product in a pod. In fact I am old enough to remember my grandmother's wash board. I always thought you had to have multiple, different compounds and measure each one according to the type, size, and color of the wash. I tried sample pods because I was too cheap to throw them out, and I was sold. Clean and fresh just as promised. I just finished my 2 large tubs of pods and today received my giant 77-count spring meadow. The scent is wonderful; not flowery, not fruity, not overpowering. I know if you calculate the price per load, it seems expensive, but I tested it. With my regular Tide and all the additives, along with "thinking" I was doing the right amount each time, I was actually spending more than I have the past 6 months with pods - by a lot! Get this large size with free shipping and you will be money ahead - even if you are a family of one. I believe it keeps better than regular powdered detergent that draws moisture and clumps, and certainly the liquids that drip down the sides or plug the dispenser when not used every day.

A Game Changer and Life Saver!

I thought the Tide Pods would be a fad, and I'm not one to jump on a bandwagon or rush out for a new product, but these little dudes have CHANGED MY LIFE! Seriously! I never believed that my life would become so boring that I got excited about laundry detergent, but alas, I have become my mother--or my grandmother. Sad. But on the happy side, the Pods have made my laundry job go much, much faster! I love not having to drag down a bottle of detergent, softener, and brightener for every flipping load! If it's a large load of stinky boy's clothing, I use two pods, but otherwise, one seems to suffice. Is this a more cost effective? I seriously don't care at this point, because they have made the misery of laundry a little less miserable.
