This was my first H.E. purchase. I knew that you use less detergent than an agitator washer. With that said, I didn't realize just how much less I'd use. I went from using the 4 line on my dosing cup to using line 1 or 2. There was a learning curve for sure. 

My clothes are cleaner and take much less time to dry. I'm happy I'm using less soap even though I had to deal with some messes along the way.
