What owners single out
Review 6's complaint about white residue on dark clothes aligns with the cleaning performance concerns, suggesting the product may struggle with certain fabric types or load conditions.
In their words
“I have become very boastful of the incredible finds that make life easier and more sustainable. These are at the top of my list. So easy to use, no heavy lifting, delivered to my door and packaged thoughtfully. They wash the clothes well keeping in mind that we are empty nesters who don’t participate in mud wrestling ! If you have a family of mud wrestlers or soccer players I’m sure you could add ”
Susan · verified purchase · floraandfauna.com.au
“Bought 6 of these. 3 were for a gift for an elderly relative who can’t get out much because of pandemic. They are fine if you are washing lights, but washing darks not so good. Leaves a white reside like paint stains and has to be rewashed again with liquid detergent. And......they are a bit pricey.”
