Absolutely love it! Didn’t believe it until I washed my husbands dirty jeans on 30 degrees and they came out all nice and clean! Lovely smell too!

Syllysyl • 1 year ago

I was pessimistic about the claims until I tried them but they really work and smell gorgeous.

jotalb • 1 year ago

Spreading the word has been easy . . . Haven't even had to start a conversation about them, as colleagues have asked or said " WOW, your clothes smell lovely, what do you use?"
Once they hear, they've all said they'll have to try them. There even more chuffed when I give them a money off voucher to try them out for themselves. . . Sharing is caring!!!

city • 1 year ago

I was a little apprehensive to try these pods on a cool 30 degree wash, but I am amazed at the results. They clean well including removing food stains and they smell good too.

marilo • 1 year ago

Love these pods I will be buying these in the future

Nahid_ • 1 year ago

Omg I absolutely love it, I’ve already done 4 loads of laundry and it’s just wow.I will be trying non bio as well. Plus advertising wasn’t difficult at all all gone within last 5 days.
Thank you so much for giving me chance to part of this project.

MrsC • 1 year ago

So amazed how lower the temperature can still give my washing the highest level of clean, even on my sons rugby kit!!!
My friends who have so far tried these pods are completely blown away by the results and happy that they will also be savong money on towering energy bills.

FitBird • 1 year ago

I really like these Ariel Pods.
I’ve never washed any of my laundry in anything below 40 oC before but using these at 30 is great.
Win Win for the environment , my bills and the clothes smell fantastic, really clean and fresh.
I genuinely recommend them to family and friends.

mam40 • 1 year ago

Who knew washing at 30° would get clothes looking so cleaning and smelling amazing.
Ariel your amazing

HelenofFoy • 1 year ago

I'm really pleased with the Ariel pods. I feel like they still clean really well at lower temperatures and leave my clothes smelling really nice. Will definitely be using these in future

Nickzc91 • 1 year ago

Just received mine will be trying them out tonight for first time and will update after. Excited to try washing on a colder wash and save money at the same time

mycosyhomeandmore • 1 year ago

I've told a few family members about how impressed I've been with the Ariel PODS and now they're rushing off with their coupons to get their own 😁

SassyC • 1 year ago

Amazing results, didn't think it would get jeans clean on a cool wash, very pleased and they smell so fresh.

mellynick • 1 year ago

I am really enjoying using these Pods. An everyday wash has gone down from 40° to 20° and soiled or grubbier items a 30° (maybe 2 pods) already reducing my carbon footprint 👣
I am yet to try a 20° cycle of my other halfs sweaty Football kits, but I guess I won't know until I try...

BuddyOne • 1 year ago

Cant wait to try these on hubbys dirty haulage uniform tonight.

Trell40 • 1 year ago

I was sceptical I will admit but was surprised when the other halfs work clothes came out clean and smelling amazing he even noticed so major difference from the usual wash IV handed my family a few vouchers so they can try too

BeccaJ27 • 1 year ago

The smell is so lovely and strong! I put a substantial load in, including gym gear, on an 30 and it smells gorgeous! Even whilst wearing it I can still smell it!

I’ve handed out some coupons to friends and family. My mum was particularly excited!

I shared a pic of my starter pack on my insta stories and a lady I have been dming intermittently who takes part in the same fitness competitions as me asked me about what I was doing and was interested in finding the results ☺️

DivaDiva • 1 year ago

Oh no a rainy day. Wash already on. Will have to dry inside on the airer. Loving this challenge. These pods are incredible. Really get the laundry clean.

Went shopping yesterday and brought a further two packs using my money off coupons. Also met a couple of friends for coffee, and cake, and gave them a couple of coupons each. Its nice to share.

acooke • 1 year ago

This really does work! Didn’t trust it until I tried it but now I won’t go back to washing at a higher temperature!

MrsWingers • 1 year ago

My work colleagues are all up for the challenge too. Shared most of my coupons. Hope they get some fab results!

Serenajane • 1 year ago

The results speak for themselves. I just show them a picture of before And after. That all they need plus a little extra persuasion about your bills being lower and helping the environment at the same time.

PaulRoyal • 1 year ago

Ive been blowed away by the results, I am totally buying Ariel pods from now on, I have been reluctant to try pods, but its what I am going to buy from now on. So impressed with the results at 30 degrees. Brilliant

Bungle23 • 1 year ago

Absolutely loved using Ariel pods for the first time , they got stains out of my clothes , amazing , will definitely be buying more in the future , definitely impressed with the 30 degrees washing temperature too 😊

feryzaghi • 1 year ago

I've been using Bold liquid detergent for a year and I always stock to my habits of using a same product that I'm happy about, now after using Ariel pods I'm impressed how clean and fresh my bedding sheets are even in cold wash and I like the fact the scent are not that strong and my cats loving to take a nap on my bed for hours now

EastWitch • 1 year ago

I’ve used Persil for many years because I have sensitive skin so was little unsure about trying Ariel pods but wow I had T shirt and Jumper that had a nasty stain, so popped into machine with Ariel Pods at 30 degree and they come out perfect! No stain in sight & they smell so fresh.

beckyboo098 • 1 year ago

Well l was pleasantly surprized ,what an outstanding wash.Got out all the make up staines first time ,great smell .What can l say thumbs up tp areil pods

SarahPas • 1 year ago

Just pulled a dress out of the wardrobe that I washed a few days ago, and it still has an amazing smell!

splinter • 1 year ago

Excellent product, does what it claims.

Warrior • 1 year ago

I’m loving keeping the temp down and still getting fab results

Lucyandalfie • 1 year ago

I can’t believe how good these pods are I’ve done a couple of washes now and all my clothing came out amazingly clean even when washed at 30 degrees and my washing smells beautiful I have also handed out a few money off coupons out to family and friends so they can try for themselves told them all how good they are and they can’t wait to put them to the test and save on energy and be kinder to the environment by washing on a colder wash.

adnil2 • 1 year ago

Love these are lowering my electric bills by washing cooler they wash really well and they smell good win win

SheilaA • 1 year ago

I really like these pods. Super easy and no dripping mess like I get from liquid detergent. I get a nice clean to my clothes at a lower temperature which is a win win situation. It has a nice light scent too. I think I've become a life time customer of these pods now!

fclark922 • 1 year ago

So far so good on the 30deg washes. I’m trialling the pod on an “intense cool” wash today only 2 1/2 hours to wait haha. x

Sharon.H • 1 year ago

It has been easy spreading the word about these great little pods and most of my work colleagues have had a voucher from me and advice on how to sign up for supersavvy

Aaron46 • 1 year ago

Awesome,used on my my work clothes brilliant results will be using my vouchers to purchase more.

susiekm • 1 year ago

I love them! I was a bit skeptical about washing on 30 degrees as I've always used 40 but they were brilliant! Got all the clothes clean and lovely smelling plus saving money and energy.

Tasha1728 • 1 year ago

Didn’t believe stains could come out on low temperature wash until I washed very muddy children’s clothes (from being at the farm all day) and they came out cleaner than ever!

Tatty • 1 year ago

Absolutely love these new Ariel pods - great recyclable packaging , easy to store but best if all fabulous results on a 20-30degree wash cycle. The fresh smell is insane ! I love it !

Loola37 • 1 year ago

Who would have known a 30° wash was a thing. Clothes come out clean and smelling great. Takes out stains aswell .. amazing

Natashaxx • 1 year ago

I was optimistic until I tried them on my partners work clothes his a roofer and he comes home filthy. I didn’t expect the clothes to come up so clean and smelling so fresh. I’ve recommended to my mum my family friends everyone and they’re even more impresssed they get a coupon to try themself. Deffo cold washing now !

SCJO • 1 year ago

As a teaching assistant, I wasn't convinced they'd get the pva glue out my trousers but they did. Loving everything so dar

Savvyshopperme • 1 year ago

Wow I’m absolutely loving these pics. I didn’t believe the box until I used them. They definitely work in cooler temperatures and much better than my usual ones. The whites are whiter. Will definitely be buying these and recommend them totally

Savvyshopperme • 1 year ago

Wow I’m absolutely loving these pods. I didn’t believe the box until I used them. They definitely work in cooler temperatures and much better than my usual ones. The whites are whiter. Will definitely be buying these and recommend them totally

Issabela • 1 year ago

I'm doing my laundry at 20 degrees right now 🤩 I can't wait to see the results 🥰

Lisanemilyx • 1 year ago

I do really like these very surprising when I first used these a wash at how well the stains were removed and also nice lovely smell.could change my mind on my usual brand to switch.

BronMarie • 1 year ago

I'm enjoying seeing all the results and photos from this project. There seems to be some great feedback. It's definitely encouraging me to try washing my laundry at 30°c and also see for myself. Keep up the good work everyone 👏 👍

Tinkerbellerina • 1 year ago

Always been using Ariel washing powder, but was so happy to try these pods. Must say, these are a game changer, low temperature but awesome results. Clean as new!!! Even in short cycles and on 20• temperature, gives best results.

Moo1982 • 1 year ago

First impressions are very good!

HCama • 1 year ago

Shared my experience with neighbours and when I asked if they want the coupons, the answer was a unanimous “yes please. I shall go and buy some”.

Lienjux23 • 1 year ago

Love the smell, clothes feels more soft. Very easy to take out from the box

Error • 1 year ago

Everybody are so curious about washing clothes in low temp. I proof to them that all stains gone!

Error • 1 year ago

Clothes smell lovely and all food and markers stains from kids school uniform gone! Wow!!!

Aussie1961 • 1 year ago

I’m pleased with the smell of these pods, they weren’t as overwhelming as I expected. Pleasant surprise. Works well at 30 degrees, removed sweat stains from the underarms of tops. Certainly worth recommending. My only criticism so far is that to open the box you need to push both sides of box together. This is practical for those that don’t have dexterity issues with their hands but for someone with a defective hand it was a struggle to open. For this reason I’ve transferred them into an old container with a flip lid that I can open with one hand. As this is a personal issue, I found this an acceptable solution to do instead of struggling with the lid every time. I have already recycled the packaging. Looking forward to trying on other temperatures & different types of laundry.

MissMary • 1 year ago

At Ariel, child safety is the number one priority. While the ECOCLIC® box has a more intuitive opening mechanism for all adults, it is certified for child safety. We are sorry to hear that you had difficulties opening the box, we will make sure to pass this on to the Ariel team. Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us.

Nogs01 • 1 year ago

Washed dogs cream bed with these pods at the 30 degree temp bed came out nice and clean and smelt amazing.
Cleans clothes amazingly and saves on energy.
I can now do a lot more washing in 1 day due to the lower temperature cycle being shorter. Great product would definitely recommend.
I will continue to use
Enjoyed trying the Ariel pods.

Corrieellen • 1 year ago

Trying mine this morning, cant wait for results!

LightningNCL • 1 year ago

Thank you again for choosing me to test Ariel Allin1 Pods. I never liked pods for various reasons. Never value for money: I have 9kg washing machine and I always have to use 2 pods for washing. Which means number of the washing stated on the packaging has to be halfed. So not budget friendly at all. Second reason is because it's corrosive unlike washing powder or most of the liquids which makes it more damaging for washing machine and environment. And third, pods always end up in my washing machine doors and down the drain rather than dissolved and my laundry washed properly.
However I wanted to give it another go and try one more time including on lower degrees wash.
I have a video of me showing what laundry I've prepared for the wash, pointing fingers to the fresh stain on my jeans, putting Pods in the washer, putting laundry on top, closing the door, setting program to Synthetics and 30 Degrees and pressing start. Of we go...
4 minutes later however, machine hasn't even took all the water, BOTH pods stuck on the door. Have video and pictures of the event as well. So not a good start! I had to stop the washing, open the door, put pods back (what's left of them anyway) and restart the program. My hand and fingers smell divine after putting Pods back, I have to admit that much but nothing else has positive points so far. We'll see when the laundry comes out ones washed...

lngwn • 1 year ago

Washed good on most things. But I tried it on my white bed sheets and my husband loves to pick spots on his head at night. so you can image the mess. The pods didn't work on a 40 degree wash. Which was really disappointing.

mumnum4 • 1 year ago

Love them they work so well especially in our busy household kids will definitely test the ability of any washing product and Ariel not only works well at low temps it actually smells amazing to.😊

JimmyBoy92 • 1 year ago

Pessimistic they were going to work. But so far. Impressed!

Barron • 1 year ago

Best yet.fresh,clean ,smells great

Mandster38 • 1 year ago

I received mine last weekend unfortunately I'm unable too participate as washing machine decided too breakdown which is a shame I've informed savvycircle of this. But am going to share coupons with other neighbors in my block. And hopefully machine gets fixed or replaced real soon hopefully to take part before the trial ends.

witchie63 • 1 year ago

Shared the challenge with friends and family when giving out the coupons. I love the pods and the results you get at such a cold wash temperature.

Teapot73 • 1 year ago

my gilet that I wear for the stables was very dirty but I turned the temperature to 30 and popped it on a quick 30min wash and have to say that i was very impressed it came out clean and smelling fresh

Ann1957 • 1 year ago

Have done 5 washes noe with aerial pods at 30 everything has come up lovely& clean ,have given half of my vouchers away, will be use these pods in future

suzanne1957 • 1 year ago

Amazing. This has been the best project I have participated in. They work. Temperature down, pod in. Result - lower bills, quicker wash and clean clothes with added scent. The scent lasts for such a long time. I can still smell it in my kitchen the following morning. I would not have purchased these without a sample to test. Such an easy product to recommend to friends and family - many who have already changed to these.

AngelEyes123 • 1 year ago

Was really impressed with this! Lovely fresh smelling fragrance and felt so much better being able to use a lower temp for the machine. Will definitely be purchasing going forwards!

tidymum • 1 year ago

they are great. always a bit skeptical about all in one pods as i think they wont be as soft but boy was i wrong with these. smell great, clean great and are so so soft. sons off to uni in september so i will sending him of a good supply

carlybarly • 1 year ago

I had a huge fall at the cemetery and my clothes were caked in mud,washed with an Ariel pod on a 30wash and it all came out in the first wash,smelling lovely 😍

SheilaA • 1 year ago

I've been using these pods all week. I just love how I can just throw it in the wash and not have to measure anything out. Also, I got some poop-splosion stains out so I'm super happy! 🤩

Alinaroz • 1 year ago

Very impressed by the new Ariel Cold wash.The fragrance is unbeatable, but the results are not as I was expecting. For day by day washing is perfect ,but for other heavy stained clothes is not working on lower temperature. Anyway, overall one more customer earned by Ariel.

DivaDiva • 1 year ago

Another wash day. Doing really well with my pods. Very impressed. Have given out all my money off vouchers. Got a nice text from a friend to say they have used their voucher.

My washing smells lovely and clean, and so does the airing cupboard where I store them.

nasdud • 1 year ago

My fourth was today and I have to say I sm impressed. I don't usually use pods as I font feel they are quite right for my usual load, but this cleans and has a lasting freshness/smell

rachel81 • 1 year ago

I have been amazed at how clean our clothes are at washing them at 30 degrees with aeriel. I had some of my old washing tablets left and tried these on a 30 but clothes still came out grubby,but using aeriel on a 30 degree wash has been a godsend as on my mashine i have a quik wash on 30 degrees so saves time . Im so happy with these tablets i will be buying these in the future.

Elmorain • 1 year ago

Tried a few different items on the #washcolderchallenge and they all came out well. I was impressed with my washable back door mat and dog towel I used to clean pooches paws after run around in the mud and they both came out very clean even on a quick wash as 30 degrees.
I have sensitive skin and the Ariel Pods did not cause any issues. Very pleased all round. Definitely worth a switch 😊

Elmorain • 1 year ago

Definitely worth a switch to lower temperature and save money on energy bills

Anitax • 1 year ago

Im amazed with these i carnt stop using them they get every stain out i put loads photos on befir n after 5 stars

Kwhite1505 • 1 year ago

Some of my friends and relatives are snapping up the coupons others feel Ariel is too expensive and have declined a coupon

dillypitt • 1 year ago

Handed out most my vouchers, friends and family were very grateful.

Shelley29 • 1 year ago

Brilliant clean washing, gorgeous smell too, clothes really clean, didn’t think at 30 degrees they would be clean but yes fabulous smelling clean washing.

aebb04 • 1 year ago

Love it! Didn’t believe it until I washed my little girls dirty clothes on 30 degrees and they came out all nice and clean! Nice scent too :)

PetyaV • 1 year ago

Excellent performance,amazing and long lasting scent,brilliant results-Ariel pods have it all😊

Mariza • 1 year ago

I gave my vouchers to my work friends! Everyone was happy and so was I for being able to offer something good to people I like!Thanks Ariel and Supersavvyme!

Adusia83 • 1 year ago

I’ve spread the world. I am super money savvy and if there is money to be saved I am all in. I am also all about sustainability and environment protection. With those two factors in play with the Ariel Allin1 pods I knew I am in for a win. Even my white laundry has come of stain free and beautiful.

Ariel never disappoints and I am so happy that I have been chosen to take part in this challenge 🥰

shaz78 • 1 year ago

I am really surprised at such a low temperature the pods work thier magic on my laundry. Its great to be able to help support the environment by using recyclable packaging. Also helps me too by saving on my energy bill too.
The vouchers have been utilised by quite a few friends and family who also would like to save on energy bills too.

Woowoo888 • 1 year ago

Cannot believe how good these are at removing stains on such a low temperature!! Absolutely great for the environment and saving me some money at the same time. Thankyou Ariel!

Teecee88 • 1 year ago

I’m so impressed with these pods- they wash my laundry so well- and the smell 😍 gorge

silverfoxwright • 1 year ago

I wasn't sure they would work, but I've been pleasantly surprised by how good the stain removal has been.

ClaireBearDucky • 1 year ago

Loving sharing my vouchers and sharing the savings!

mcmn18 • 1 year ago

It wasn't until I posted about taking part in the challenge that I then realised I was late to the party some of my friends had already started washing at 30 so I happily joined them and I've not been disappointed. Clean clothes that smell great, costs less and better for the environment too. Happy all round

Johanna • 1 year ago

Yes I have think the are very good removed all grass stains

strawberrycheesecake • 1 year ago

Loved these pods and will definitely be buying more. I was looking to switch from my current ones, and these ones are definitely my replacement! They are mess free (they don’t get tangled in the packet like my old pods), come in plastic free packaging, smell great (but not overpowering) and work great at low temperatures.

Serenajane • 1 year ago

Was sceptical about them but I was pleasently surprised with the nice smell it gave and i normally wash on 30 anyway but struggle with stains. But ariel actually got rid of underarm stains etc. Great for you and the planet win win!

JoG • 1 year ago

Love it! Washed white sheets on 30 instead of 60 - first time ever. Amazing result - better than expected. and smells so great too! Am recommending this product to my friends and family.
Great product.....great smell.....really works...............no lie! :)

kazann • 1 year ago

Thoroughly enjoyed sharing my coupons with my friends and they've promised to try the low temperature challenge. I tried it and was really impressed. Very sceptical at first but thought I would give it a go and I'm glad I did

myrtle38 • 1 year ago

they were a little unsure at first like myself, but once they tried them like me they were impressed with how well they worked

shaz66 • 1 year ago

How have I used all my pods already..... I love washing but I love washing that smells amazing more. I spoke to my neighbour andshe said I smelled lovely so I gave her a pod and a coupon. She washed her bedding on 20 degrees and is going to buy the pods when she goes shopping. My daughter used a coupon and did 3 washes in one day the washes took no time on 20 degrees and she is now converted and will be buying pods instead of her usual powder. I washed a snuggie wrap on Sunday and my bedroom still smells amazing from the scent. I love them and have already bought a box

Gaz3524 • 1 year ago

All vouchers shared! Friends are very grateful!

Roopster • 1 year ago

Have shared some of the coupons with friends who were very excited about these... hoping to get feedback real soon.

Jpat • 1 year ago

I normally wash everything at 40 degrees or above, so I was a bit unsure whether they would wash so well at 30 degrees, but I was pleasantly surprised.

xxnimmyxx • 1 year ago

Shared all my vouchers out with friends and family. Also showed them the amazing results a 20° wash can do! Everyone was so impressed.
