Pods or laundry detergent pods
Pros

Unknown but think it's good have right dose at right time

Cons

Would like to know more whats in these little pods. I don't use softeners or do I want to. Is the covering plastic what harm does it do for the environment. I mean from production to end use.

Recommend it?

Maybe, it depends on what you're after.

Problematic with front loader
Pros

Probably cleans well if it gets the chance

Cons

Tended to be deposited in the door recess of my front loader without fully dissolving, or even partly sometimes. Will stick with the powder.

Recommend it?

No, this product has too many drawbacks.
