Good product

I have a front loader and I really like the pods. No more mess in the detergent drawer. It also takes the guess on how much product to use. I like the small space that the box takes.
Rarely does the pods get stuck in the inner gasket but if they do they still dissolve , and I find a small piece of plastic. I noticed that the time that it got stuck it was when I washed large piece of clothing like bed sheet or comforter.
I wish they would be a scent free pod though if I can suggest.
Good product overall

What a waste

I purchased the Tide Pods (102 count) for my HE front loader. The product leaves a slime all over my clothing and gasket of the machine, even when using warm water. I have tried extra rinse cycles to no avail. I have used another brand pod with good results - guess I'll switch back to the other brand. Tide needs to improve the water solubility of this product for it to actually work. I do like the smell (spring meadow) - have not noticed any bad smells mentioned in other reviews.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very Disappointed

I decided to try the pods to see if they work. The plastic that house the ingredient do not desolve completely. It leaves some of the detergent on the clothes. Then you have to rewash the clothes again. Which causes you to spend more time washing. Wen its should save you time. I guess I have to go back to using the liquid detergent and throw away the rest of the pods that I have left. This is just wasted money for a consumer. Maybe you guys need to take another look at the plastic that you are using for the detergent.

Look at the reviews and the dates they're written

I love Tide! I have not had a problem with the Pods...yet! But if you look at the recent reviews, you'll see that many have had a problem with staining and plastic. Last year when the reviews started, there were no complaints...except a rare one. Perhaps they're having quality issues. I hope no customers are lost and they can fix this soon. I have an LG HE washer and find the Pods so much easier than measuring and pouring into the small hole for the detergent. That's why I gave 3 reviews. We need UNSCENTED. Also, not sure why you need to buy Tide Boost to help your Tide. Why don't you just 'perfect' the Tide? I never buy the additional product, Tide Boost...don't know why we need that.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pods can work in top and front loaders

Pods work without any problem in top loaders, (I have one which I use for things that need overnight soaking) if you put in the pod and then add the water and clothes.
Some have complained of residue from Front Loaders with Pods. I also have a Whirlpool Duet Front Loader. I have never had a problem when I do a full load, as my washer automatically adds additional water. If I was only doing a small load, as my housekeeper sometimes does, then I have simply cut the pod, adding the liquid detergent to a cup of water and then put that into the drawer dispenser, and then put the colorant and stain fighter into an additional cup of water and added that to the automatic beach dispenser. Works like a charm and the entire load is wonderfully clean. I use only cold water and even aged grease stains have come out with Tide Pods.

Undissolved Pod
on September 7, 2013

In a new LG HE steam washer, one pod went through both the sanitary wash and hot dryer without dissolving. The load was top and bottom twin sheets, mattress protector and square of hospital sheeting. I've had them open and not completely dissolve but this is the first time finding one that went thru both machines unopened. I will be checking each load more careful.

either boost or Tide is ruining my whites

I have a new HE washer and continued to use Tide liquid for all my washing as I had done before.
Then I started adding Tide Boost. Everything was OK until this month. I have done two washes that the white items have come out light blue! Nothing was in either wash that had not ben washed before. I now have three white shirts the most awful color light blue!

I am in my 70's, and my mother introduced me to 'Tide' many, many years ago. I like the new pods (reason for my 5-star rating), but wish they came in a container with an easier to open top. My poor old fingers just could not open the container, and I ended up with cut fingers in the process of trying. Finally had to ask a friend to open it, then just left it open. Unfortunately, being left open brought about very sticky pods due to humidity. My hope is that the container opening will change to 'easy open' for older folks, and for those whose fingers are not as flexible as they once were. A softer, more flexible lid latch would be appreciated.
