  Am I the only one that doesn’t like their Speed Queen?

  I don't know about the scores but Costco and Persil are my two favorite laundry detergents. I haven't noticed any differences between the two.

  It's probably your detergent. Can't recommend persil enough. If you don't wanna try that, tide is the next best. Worked for a cleaning company for a few years and we used persil on all our cleaning rags. That got out some crazy stains!

  I wash almost everything on permanent press. Seems to be the sweet spot on not being too rough or too gentle. I have TR-7, not sure if you have the same model. Laundry detergents in general have gotten too gentle. I think only tide and persil really work. You might need more in a high water washer than you did in your front loader.

  Ahh yes, Persil was the one we used for a bit! Couldn't remember the name but it did work great. I am sensitive to fragrances too like another mentioned, so I didn't love that part of it.

  Persil for life. My great grandmother used it before she came to this country in the 1940s and insisted her whole life it is the best one. Tried a few different brands out years ago and yes, granny was right!

  Persil is a veeery old a traditional German washing detergent brand. It belongs to Henkel. Also German. In some Countries its sells under Unilever but since 2015 Henkel sells in the US by itself. It’s a German staple and everybody knows and most use it here myself included. Can’t go wrong with it imo.

  Tide and Persil are the only 2 brands of detergent worth buying. No other brand rates remotely close on Consumer Reports.

  Can't say anything about the machine itself but the only 2 brands of detergent worth buying are Tide and Persil (Kirkland's Signature is fine because it's made by Persil). In Consumer Reports rankings 17 of the top 20 spots are one of those 3 brands. Deft Pacs is the highest rated not of those brands at #11. 7th Gen's highest rated is scored at 55 (vs Tide Plus Ultra Stain Release at 84) and is ranked in the 30s. If you want something wtih no fragrance, Tide Plus Hygienic Clean 10x Heavy Duty Power Pods is the best rated fragrance free.
