Due to their low water wash and rinse cycles, HE washers work best with an HE detergent that is low-sudsing and easily rinsed away.
HE washers use 50% to 80% less energy than traditional washers, and HE detergents make less suds while working better … so I shouldn’t be frustrated looking in the little glass window if I don’t see soap suds!

I learned that HE washers use 20% to 66% less water than a traditional agitator washer. Because there’s less water to heat, HE washers use 50% to 80% less energy than traditional washers. HE washers use a “tumbler” system versus a central agitator in most traditional washers. HE washers gently tumble laundry back and forth through a shallow pool of water.

I learned that HE washers tumble laundry back and forth through a shallow pool of water. This is one of the reasons you need to use an HE detergent like Wisk. It is formlated to work effectively in that tumbling pool of shallow water, without making lots of suds.

it creates fewer suds
cpsnsamples@aol.com
HE detergent is specifically formulated to create fewer suds that regular detergent. Unlike traditional top-loading washers, front-loading washers use a tumble system versus a central agitator. This tumbling action creates more suds than a typical wash cycle of a traditional top-loader, so you want to make sure your detergent is low-sudsing.
This is something I learned from the website.

HE detergents work in both high Efficiency and regular washers, BUT you should always use HE detergent in a HE washer, it will create too many suds if you use a non-HE detergent and may even void any warranty you may have. Also, the more suds you have, the MORE you need to rinse..so I Learned a little something tonight!
I didn’t know that HE detergents create less suds. Since I should be getting a high efficiency washer soon, I could really use this!
Thank you for a great giveaway! I learned that HE washers use 20% to 66% less water than traditional agitator washers, and also because there’s less water to heat, HE washers use 50% to 80% less energy. Thank you!

HE detergents produce less suds than regular detergents and is highly recommended for front-load machines… (like mine ;-))
HE washers use 20% to 66% less water than a traditional agitator washer.
thanks
Since HE washers use less water than agitator machines, they also use less energy heating the water. HE detergents are low sudsing, which means the smaller pool of water is able to rinse the clothes more efficiently.

Hope I win. I learned that HE creates less suds, which is terrific because oversudsing can wreak havoc on the washer components, such as the drum/tub itself and the gasket.
