Tandil Ultra Plus heavy-duty detergent at a glance

The test winner is not a well-known brand product, but comes from the shelves of a discounter.

The best washing machines

It’s not just the detergent that is crucial for clean laundry, the right washing machine is also important. The right washing machine can also save a lot of money, for example by using water sparingly. It should also work as quietly as possible.
