Hi, anyone have any experience with using these new super concentrated liquid detergents in the auto dose / auto dispensers in modern washing machines?
I've just purchased a Samsung but I understand other manufacturers have this feature too.
I get the feeling it won't go well as presumably the washing machine has no idea you are using super concentrated stuff and will just dispense the same quantity of detergent into the drum, thus ending up with too much detergent for the load.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

sorted byI wouldn't buy one myself, partly because it adds needless complication likely to make the machine less reliable and more expensive (unless they can afford to offer discounts because they expect to make a killing selling the detergent). I would also much rather use powder because it helps to keep the machine free of mould and bacteria, while liquids do the reverse. (edited)
It only has a low, med, high setting for dosage and uses that plus the weight of the washing and the water hardness setting to determine the actual dose.
Miele's Twindos uses their own super concentrated detergent in one bottle and an oxygen bleach stain remover solution in the other, and there are some users complaining of blockages and leaks. Apparently the bottles that fit in UK models can be filled with other liquid detergents too.
