Most products have two sets of test results – front-loader and top-loader. For this test, both the front- and top-loader were set on “normal” wash cycles — the type of wash cycle an average consumer is likely to choose to wash an everyday load.

Would like to see separate Cold vs Warm vs Hot water tests. No detergent.
Pros
I presume this test was for cold water. Pros for cold is cheap and safe for septic systems and the environment.
Cons
Not as effective as warm water and I suspect by quite a margin. All the same pros go for warm water (septic; environment) and at minimal extra cost when compared to detergents.
This needs testing!
Recommend it?
Maybe, it depends on what you're after.
