Watered down laundry liquid – I have been using dynamo laundry liquid for many years..but since covid, when prices of everything went up I started noticing the liquid is alot more watery now and the price has doubled..price gauging at its finest. I will report to ACCC, maybe an inquiry is needed Show details

Disappointed – I have used Dynamo liquid detergent for years but have to give it 1 star due to the recent lid change, liquid pours out much quicker when bottle is full meaning too much in the machine and a waste of my money, i will be changing to another product due to this Show details

Disappointed! – I have used Dynamo for many years but do not like the new container. The lid is different! Hard to pour without spilling the contents. The old style was perfect! The new style of bottle is annoying - especially the lid. Show details

DYNAMO DISASTER! – They have changed the ingredients. Been using Dynamo for years and noticed that they changed the bottles. Then THIS happened! No sleep, constant itching. Ruled out everything else and has come down to the Dynamo. Show details

New SCAM with a new container (New measuring cup is 50% bigger !!!!) – I loved this product for the last 3 years and I advised most of my friends to buy this fantastic product. The quality is very good. So what is the problem? Please look at the photos which I attached to compare the old and new containers with a new measuring cup. The old package has a golden cap which is 50 ml. The new one has a 75 ml cap. WHAT… Read more

DOES MEANS? it comes in a 1.8 Liters bottle.

That means with the old one you can wash 36 times but whit new package you can wash 24 times !!! IT IS SCAM.

This stuff BLEACHED my new towels – Used this to wash new towels and bath mats. No other laundry aid used, not even fabric softener, and it left pink marks all over my BRAND NEW towels and bath mats. Show details

Awesome – I love the quality of this detergent. It leaves clothes smelling fresh, feeling soft and looking perfect. The detergent doesn’t ruin the original colours of the clothes and towels. Highly recommended. Show details

Amazing – New Dynamo with odour eliminator is absolutely amazing. Washed the dogs bedding and it smells beautiful. Washed teenage boys kit bags, sports shoes - fresh clean and the fragrance lasts

Dynamo Changed company and smell worse – For many years have paid the premium price of liquid dynamo because the smell was pleasant. Had noticed packaging changes etc etc and the smell was worse. Thinking I had purchased the wrong variant ( there are many ) I persisted and finally today I phoned the number and asked questions to be told the product was now in hands of new company and the… Read more

recipe has changed. Enough said. Cleans fine but It’s runnier and smells weird and horrible which fills bedrooms, linen cupboard etc with the smell. Time to look for a new detergent. This happens with lots of products where they get off loaded to another company that trades on the good name of the original product, while cutting the costs of production. Dunlop kt26 shoes. Shapes biscuits. Polly waffles are a few that immediately come to mind.

Eczema inducing – This detergent was the only one which didn’t give my daughter eczema all over her body. New bottle and it smells completely different, like a bar of yellow laundry soap that goes through the whole house. Wore a pair of pyjamas washed in this detergent for less than an hour and broke out in violent rash all over her stomach, hips, bum and legs. It’s definitely a new formula and it’s absolutely horrid. Show details

Terrible Eczema/Dermatitis reaction! – I usually use the 7 in 1 Dynamo liquid which I’ve never had a problem with. Grabbed the odour eliminating product as my usual one was sold out. Have had the WORST eczema reaction I’ve ever had in my entire life. I do NOT have sensitive skin, and have never had eczema/dermatitis before. My neck has broken out in an awful blotchy red rash which is… Read more

so itchy, then it spread to my face and eyes, my inner elbows, upper arms etc. At first I wasn’t sure why, thought it could be stress until a work colleague mentioned that it could be my laundry detergent. After over a WEEK of being itchy and miserable I finally figured out that was true and after reading similar reviews I am so gutted that this is on the shelves. Please be aware and do NOT use this product! It also has a terrible strong smell like others have pointed out.

Sheets smelt like toxins gross – Washed sheets and they dried smelly like a chemical smell. Confused i washed them again and this time used fabric softer for pretty smell but the result was worse. What ever is used to eliminate odour leaves a chemical smell behind. I have washed in a new brand and am looking forward to going to bed with clean chemical free smelling sheets tonight. Show details

Causes Skin Irritation – Have had to start heavy drugs and prescription cream for irritation (contact dermatitis/hives) . I don’t usually have sensitive skin nor have I ever had a reaction from any new product. Steer clear, must be super toxic or fragrance levels were too high not sure. All I know is I have a buldging itchy & stinging mass on the inner thighs and let’s just say walking has not been easy at all. DO NOT USE this product Show details

Dynamo – The product itself is excellent and I have used it for many years however, recently they changed the container which is slippery and hard to open and the price went up as well as a reduction from 1L to 750 MLS far too exoensive- not fair to put the price up and reduce contest - slippery top needs improvement urgently

Allergy and asthma triggering – Sure it cleans the clothes but I’m throwing out an almost full bulk bottle of this as I’ve just linked wash day and the foul chemical smell of this liquid filling my house and my lungs to my allergies and asthma flaring up. I had used Dynamo in the past but it’s changed and it’s now unbearable to use.  Show details

Overwhelming Smell – Have been using Dynamo for thirty years and regularly used the white sensitive bottle until my Coles stopped stocking it. Have been using the professional one since and I can’t stand it. The smell is overpowering and lingers on the clothes even though I am using the recommended amounts and I and other family members have been feeling itchy. I no… Read more

longer feel comfortable using this product . If my local Coles will no longer stock the sensitive Dynamo then I will be changing brands as I wish to be able to wear the clothes I wash .

Revolting new smell 2020 – The latest Dynamo liquid detergent ( 2020) smells revolting!!! Gone is the fresh subtle fragrance. It now smells as if a gallon of strong cheap perfume has been added to the mix. This will definitely affect sales. I can’t use it anymore Show details

Allergy – I am 72 years old and have never had an allergic reaction to anything till I used Dynamo Professional. I had severe rash everywhere my clothes were firmly touching my skin. I used hydrocortisone cream & antihistamines to no avail. Finally I changed detergent & am fine. Other members of my family had no reaction to the detergent. Thank you. Show details

Another dud dynamo bottle – This is the second dud dynamo bottle design, the previous one having a handle that wasn't really a handle, which quickly disappeared from the shelf. The new design is no better as the handle is too low meaning the bottle automatically tips forward when you pick it up, lid is difficult to unscrew because of the coloured plastic sleeve and no ridges on the lid. Looks bigger but holds less. Show details

Getting less and it costs more! – Whats the go with the new bottle size, reducing by 200mL? It used to cost $18 for 2Ltrs. Now it cost $20 for 1.8Ltrs... Maybe you thought we wouldn't notice? Really deceptive... At least you could have kept the 2Ltr bottle and just charged $22 for it? Show details

Get rid of the new lids! PLEASE!!! – I have used Dynamo for years and I like the product, but for some inexplicable reason they have changed the lids to smooth lids with no grip. THE LIDS ARE TERRIBLE. When you’re doing the laundry, your hands are often wet and you have to go and find a towel somewhere and dry your hands thoroughly before you can get the lid off the detergent! Why on… Read more

earth did you change the lids from lids with grip to really annoying lids with no grip? Can you please go back to the old lids? Every time I do the washing now, it puts me in a bad mood because I can’t get a grip on the detergent lid.

Severe itchy rash from Dynamo Professional with Odour eliminating power – Have been using this Dynamo Professional for a 3 weeks prior to a severely itchy rash developing all over body apart from my face ,hands & feet . I’ve never had allergies prior to this . Hopefully a strong course of prednisone will relieve the itch & rash disappears .It appears I’m not alone when reading the other reviews . I am making all my friends aware of the potential risk of using this liquid laundry detergent . Show details

Overpowering Repulsive Smell – Overpowering repulsive smell. I have been a Dynamo user for decades and recently bought Dynamo Professional with Odour Eliminating Technology for the first time as it was on a special. I must say I am appalled with the product's smell. I used it for a wash-load of towels and hung the towels out to dry in the sun on a breezy day. Sill couldn't get… Read more

rid of the smell. Furthermore my laundry now stinks and after using the washed towel I can't get away from the same smell on my body. I can't imagine why the manufacturer would add such a repulsive odour to a previously reasonable product.

Sneaky rip off – I have always found Dynamo Laundry Liquid very good and have used it for about 20 years. My husband has sensitive skin and this product does not irritate it. However, I was extremely disappointed to discover recently that it has come out in a new bottle (probably an attempt at hiding the reduced contents) which is only 1.8 litres instead of 2… Read more

Litres and the price has gone up from $17 to $20. I am now looking for another Laundry Liquid that is better value and will post this information when I find it.
