Review 2 highlights container usability issues that align with the product's weakest aspect score on container design.
In their words
“I started using this after it was ranked as the top performing free and clear detergent by a laundry expert I follow. It has held up to the hype in my own use. It gets out stains and odors without any perfumes or dyes added which is perfect for my sensitive eczema prone skin. It has even gotten out some pit stains that I thought would never come out of an old t-shirt I only wear around the house. ”

“Consumer Reports Etc rate this THE best for Hard Water. This product is great if you get the proper container. I did multiple orders of the container you do not have to lift but kept receiving the one that has to be lifted for each and every load. Impossible with certain health conditions. Keep that in mind if you are ordering online. I would prefer a scent. But nothing cleans better than this one”
