I have used pods in my front loader for years. Never had an issue. I throw it in the machine then add my clothes. Never had a problem they always break down. I even use cold water for most of my loads.
I have the next model down - ELFW7537 and it’s been amazing. The pods have worked well. I used to hate using them because of all those reasons but now I really enjoy using them in this machine.
I have never used pods, I’ve always used powder, in my opinion its the best, liquid detergent and pods are a complete waste of money, old skool will always be the best and most efficient 😋
At 3:05... how would a machine deliver "warmer" water to dissolve the pods unless the machine had a built-in water heater to boost the incoming water temperature. Or maybe it's just that your house delivers two different temperatures of "hot" water (without having to change the setting on your water heater} into your machine and you never knew it? This is just advertising hype to sell a particular machine. Actually, Tide Pods are designed to dissolve in a range of temperatures (how else would they work in cold water washing AND hot water washing?}.
Almost all front load machines (at least, the ones made by non-American brands) will have both a steam boiler and/or an immersion heater, but obviously to most americans used to ancient tin-can-top-loaders where the manufacturers actually *lobby the government* to not have to innovate, I can see how this is surprising.
Can someone find out is this particular model the old belt & pully system. If not does Blake carries similar models in his shop with belt & pulley system?
Well dang...this just seals the deal. I was trying to decide between the LG Washtower and the Electrolux Laundry Tower. In so many aspects, it seems as though the Electrolux is just a little bit better thought out (at least for my needs). I also like the fact that it's a "dumb" laundry unit. I don't need everything in my house to connect to the internet! Thanks for the great explanation!
Glad to hear it was helpful! I would verify that the tower has the pod dispenser first, however. In this video we were just featuring this specific model that has it but I can't remember if the tower has it. Thanks for watching!
Get the LG. It’s much more serviceable and definitely has much better options. The Electrolux is definitely not as good quality build and the lack of a accesible drain filter just echoes that fact.
Sorry to break it to you but adding a trendy "patented subscription detergent dosage unit" is not a sign of innovation - it's a sign that Electrolux made some back door deal with P&G to put the logo on their machine. LG has been known for absolute tank-like build quality in their laundry (particularly front load since the entirety of the developed world uses front load machines) with a fit and finish that is easily noticeable when you get inside these machines. Direct drive, accelerometer based balancing, all stainless fasteners inside, conformally coated PCBs, and so on... the amount of effort LG puts into the parts you'll never see is what matters.

I almost never use cold water on any of my loads ever because cold water is not as effective as killing germs as warm or hot water is
@@saulshelly6174 I use hot water for towels, sheets, underwear and socks. Everything else in cold. Less wear in your clothes.
You’re the exception. And you pay more for the pods and have less number of wash’s per pack.
@@X12891 to each his own I guess.
@@saulshelly6174 the detergent is a disinfectant already

We're so glad to hear that! Thanks for watching.
So long as the water is piping hot then pods are a great option. Good info! I have gas water heater it gets the water very hot🥵
Sounds like pods will work pretty well for you then! Thanks for watching.

Have never used pods in any machine. I switched to detergent sheets a couple of years ago. No plastic!
We hope the sheets are working well for you, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the info! Wondering about which is the best option to avoid microplastics going into our waterways?

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful and informative.

Thank you.
I put the pod in a hot glass of water once dissolved then i add it to the machine..
@@Jawed-j2r why not just use liquid?
Thanks for the info, good video as always.
What's your take on laundry detergent sheets?
Thanks for the question! We actually have a video all about those sheets, check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/CdgiSLAnjjw/v-deo.html
Love them!
Tide Pod Challenge was mainly teenagers and young adults, yeah that challenge was dumb

I'd be getting the 6-series tower, and that one definitely has the pod dispenser! Thanks!
