We’re currently giving these a go after trying the regular ones while staying with family. They have a light fragrance and seem to leave clothes clean and soft. They’re convenient for someone who doesn’t know how much laundry powder or liquid to use (ie, my husband!) as there is no measuring involved. Just pop one in and hit the start button. They lost half a point as I’ve found they leave a little bit of residue in the powder/liquid receptacle of the washing machine.
