It works great and cleans the clothes just fine. I do put the powder in the machine first and set the water on warm for the first few minutes to dissolve the powder before adding clothes and changing over to cold.

I even did a cost comparison on the homemade vs. storebought per load on my blog once. (there is a link to it on my sidebar under "favorite posts"). I came up with Tide costing about $.43 a load, and homemade costing $.12 I’ve been using homemade for about 4 years now.
