Why don't you list the features you like and maybe some on the forum with vast machine knowledge can help you narrow it down.

I will warn you that you will probably get a lot of different opinions and this process may help you or confuse you further. Good luck!

I follow the belief that you should only use HE detergent in your HE washer. HE washers use much less water and the HE detergents are designed to properly remove/suspend dirt and rinse it away in less water. To me it sounds logical that a detergent for use in a TL with way more water would work differently than one designed to work with very little water.

Others on this forum will tell you otherwise. You have to choose what you think is right.

Great question. Personally, I'd stick to HE detergent in HE models, but you can use regular detergent. The trick with regular detergent is that you have to use MUCH less than you normally would. If you don't, you'll get some SERIOUS sudsing (is that even a word?) in washing machine.
