www.electroluxappliances.... Second generation, with a detergent drawer compatible with pods, for what ever reason. | ||

Ok, I'll bite.
It's not pure marketing, or to dazzle starry eyed Millennials Here's why. I don't use pods in my Maytag frontloader because A) they're expensive and stupid. B)...and this is important....because the pods break up upon wet tumbling, and powder/chunks get all over the boot and under the glass, where "maybe" throughout the wash, water and clothes will swipe them away and into the drum. This way, the pods can be dissolved, and used in Electrolux's special water/soap mixing chamber, and then sprayed uniformly over the clothes. | ||

Wow, got to say I've been using pods for well over a year and never saw anything like John describes.
I can't comprehend why tossing a pod in the drum is so hard either. | ||

I used pods/pacs exclusively for a couple of years and loved them. Simple, easy, convenient, cleaned well. They dissolved properly in my 2010 Frigidaire front-loader, as water began entering the tub as soon as tumbling began. On a couple of occasions a pod migrated to the boot before being fully dissolved. I thought--and still do--that pods will increase their market share in the future. Look how they've taken over in automatic dishwashing.
The only reason I went back to liquids is because my 2015 Maytag had an auto-dosing system that was even more convenient. My decidedly non-HE Speed Queen top-loader would probably need two pods for large loads, which would get pretty spendy. Never had to use more than one in the FrigiLux front-loader. The pod dispenser in new Electrolux front-loaders is a great idea. It eliminates the possibility of staining (if the pod gets trapped in the center of a large load) or winding up partially dissolved in the boot. | ||

Only Pods in my stash currently
Which have powder are those "booster" stain release pods from Tide. Mainly oxygen bleach and other things.
In any event at least in the AEG Oko-Lavamat yes, the darn thing most often gets caught in the boot leaving powder on glass, and or in same. Sometimes after five or so minutes all is dissolved and dispersed; other times not. Think issue is many front loaders use so little water that pods with any sort of powder just cannot dissolve properly. | ||

Seriously? Tossing a pod in the drum of the machine is simple, period! | ||

Thomas and GELaundry, you're missing the point.
Yes the physical activity of throwing a pod into a hole is very easy. But on many machines, the pod parts and powder get all over the boot before it's fully dissolved. Not all front loaders have spray jets that wash down the boot and window. ALSO, do you guys know that Electrolux has a feature that pre-mixes the detergent prior to injecting the solution into the wash? Throwing in tabs negates that feature. So Elux devised a solution to allow laundry tab use, while still using the water/detergent pre-mixing feature. | ||

my toughs and my 2 cent here
if you notice here in Canada most he detergent for washers are liquid detergents you rarely see powder laundry dertengents these days since on store shelves they mostly focus on liquid laundry detergent or pods and the brand of washing machine mention in this thread might be Electrolux but not all brand of washing machine are the same gelaundry4ever next time you enter an appliance store if you see en Electrolux washing machine open up the dispenser drawer and compare it with a brand like whirlpool or maytag and you will see a big difference.

And for me brands are not like football teams or religions.... I don't have a favorite brand, I now hate electrolux and above you saw me defending one of their washers because it's true, that washer is good. It's nof fantastic, it's not the best thing in the world, but it's not a POS like the 2018 Speed Queen. | ||

Al you people are biased thats why. All you do is nothing but complain about everything. Electrolux is a piece of junk. Period. Just a rebadged frigidaire. The most unreliable poorly built front loaders on the market. Imported crap. | ||

"All you do is nothing but complaining!" ... he complains and the complains some more. Frigidaire is owned by the Electrolux company and used as lower end brand. And funny they are the lowest scoring front loaders... 10 out of 10 means horrible apparently! CLICK HERE TO GO TO henene4's LINK | ||

Infusor - your recent posts are an absolute joy. Here's a thought- maybe it's time to take that joy to another forum? Think of the excitement in finding someplace new to bestow your unprecedented wisdom. | ||

So it’s not just me then. I saw the tirade on the SQ threads and thought what the hell is this guy ranting about then he posts a memo from Alliance about the bad press the new SQ washers were getting online, from CU and others and I thought now I get it. I got to the point where I thought ya know this guy is a tool and trying to change someone’s opinion on something he doesn’t agree with , won’t go well here. And obviously it didn’t...bless his heart....

Overall I absolutely loved my wave touch washer and dryer set but the rinsing did not seem adequate. | ||
