When we got our new Splendide 7100XC I spoke to Splendide about the pods. They said do not use them on any of their models. They said they clean fine but that the problem was that they clog up the tubes because of the quantity of detergent in them. However, I have heard of several people using them successfully including Dick & Joyce. I use a low suds detergent but I haven't done as much laundry as Dick & Joyce either. So maybe my post doesn't help at all!
