This is the one recommended by Consumer Reports

I love this Tide detergent. It does a good job of getting normal dirty clothes clean as well as extra dirty and even troublesome stains clean. My washer manufacturer recommends detergent over liquid or pods to prevent nasty smelly build up inside the tub that people can't figure out where the smell is coming from. So, I went to this after finding that Consumer Reports recommended this as their top choice in powder detergents. It does not disappoint. It does a great job and leaves a fresh clean scent.

Love this detergent and price!

I swapped to powder detergent a few years ago after getting frustrated with buildup, residue, and mildew smells the liquid detergent and detergent pods were leaving behind in my front loading washer. After noticing the washing machine cleaners are powdered cleaners, I was curious if powdered detergent would help. Well, they 100% do! And tide is definitely the best at getting our clothes clean and keeping their freshness and clean smell. Over the last couple of years I’ve tried other brands, however I can use way less detergent hmy clothes seem the freshest with the powder Tide Ultra with Oxy.

Old Powder Detergent Works Much Better Than Liquid

If you have a traditional style top washer, this detergent cleans so much better and lasts so much longer than any liquid detergent does. This is the detergent that I grew up using. I have no idea why people, including myself, started using liquid. So glad I tried the old detergent again.

Tide with Ultra Oxy

Great product and does an exceptional job on stains (soaking ahead of washing helps)!

Back to the powder!

It's been a while since I've used powder detergent, but the bath towels and sheets will be washed with powder from now on. Liquid builds up on the fabric.

Tide Rocks

The Tide powder is superior for cleaning cloths. I dislike the pods as they stick to some cloths and stain them.

Decent

I preferred the basic tide, but this is a good replacement since Sam's doesn't seem to carry the basic stuff in store any longer.

Not Good, Poor Performance . . .

What is up with this tide powder? This detergent cleans poorly and clothes come out with rough feeling, not soft (especially with cotton items) and the smell of the freshly laundered cloths was extremely faint - not what should be expected and more like week old laundry hanging in the closet; which is to say a smell and scent that does NOT convey freshly washed clothing. Regular Tide and three other Name Brands live in my laundry room and are used on similar wash loads and produce far better results than this version of Tide Ultra OXI. I do NOT recommend this version of Tide and recommend that Sam's Club stop selling it as it is such a poor performing detergent. Choose any other detergent, you will be happy you did.

reply from Tide

We are really sorry to hear you had this experience with our Tide + Ultra Oxi Powder Laundry Detergent, Original. It must upsetting that the scent was too light from your liking. We understand scent is very subjective, and we appreciate you providing us with this feedback, but this is definitely not the type of experience we want you to go through. For effective laundry, adhere to care instructions, using the hottest safe water for each fabric type. Sort clothes by color and material, and pre-treat any stains by applying detergent directly and lightly rubbing it in, after testing for colorfastness. To ensure proper cleaning, avoid overloading the washer and use the correct amount of detergent based on the load size, soil level, and water hardness, selecting gentle cycles only when recommended. To achieve softer fabrics, always use liquid fabric softener according to the instructions and avoid overfilling your washing machine. Whenever possible, machine-dry your clothes; if line-drying, hang them outdoors. Liquid fabric softener is generally more effective than dryer sheets, and even older fabrics can benefit from its use. If using a touch of Downy detergent, adding extra liquid fabric softener will further enhance softness. Please feel free to contact us at (800) 879-8433 so we can learn more about this situation and take care of you. Your satisfaction is highly important for us at Tide.
