we use loads of laundry gel
I was looking for a good offer
I read on the which website that none of the laundry gels are as good as any of the laundry powders or tablet
I thought I would have a look on amazon to see which was the best seller
That's when I noticed a laundry egg and it seems to have very good reviews and £15 for 750 washes I'm wondering whether it's worth a try
What do you think

    I think they're a load of rubbish.
    The results are the same as washing in water - which is good enough for some people.

    I tried a similar product once and it didn't feel to do anything at all.

    I have been using one for a while now and generally its ok . I find it doesn't remove tomato based stains [sauces etc] and as it can only be used at 40 deg I do tend to buy regular tablets to wash towels etc at a higher temp.

    The darker things are fine but whites quickly go grey and discoloured.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    I have used it, it is ok, but not for bad stains. Make sure you let it dry out in-between washes, or is wears out faster

    We bought similar but my whites went grey very quickly. I wouldn't bother .

    I bought a similar one and was very disappointed. Thumbs down from me

    Forgot to add I also wash a smaller load at a time so although i'm saving on powder I am using twice the electricity.

    Hubby bought it with a huge amount of the pellets once they are gone I will probably go back to normal powder.

    If it was costing me more i would chuck them in the bin

    I'm no on the hunt for the best laundry liquid

    How does the liquid in the egg not seep through the holes? (Never mind 'seep' - I mean 'pour'.)
