Who Wins the Battle of Laundry Detergents? Ariel vs Persil!

Our female colleagues were lingering around the water cooler during break when suddenly we heard two of them loudly arguing with each other while a third was acting as a referee and proclaiming her opinion with the confidence of Abla Nazeera.

 What was the topic of this heated discussion? Washing detergents!  One favors Persil, the other Ariel with our Abla Nazeera interjecting every once in a while, with an opinion that backs one or the other!

Of course, the rest of us took this as a golden opportunity, an article topic just landed at our feet! So we made haste, divided ourselves into 2 neutral groups and started researching. 

One group headed to the nearest supermarket, Metro Market Mohandeseen branch, and the other “mad about online shopping” group browsed  Souq.com. 

We decided to compare Ariel and Persil 2.5kg detergent for fully automatic washing machines under the following criteria: price, availability, and variety.

Ariel vs Persil

Which is more cost efficient?

From Metro:

- Persil color automatic powder detergent 2.5kg with 25% extra offer: 88 EGP

- Ariel detergent powder with a touch of downy freshness 2.5 kg: 85 EGP

From Souq.com:

- Persil automatic powder detergent 2.5 kg: 75 EGP

- Ariel automatic detergent powder with lavender scent 2.5 Kg: 85 EGP

Which should I buy and from where?

 

• Ariel is sold at the same price everywhere even if they cooperate with a company like Downy. On the other hand, you will pay for any increase in quantity with Persil even if it is an “offer”.
• Whether online or in store there is no price difference, just buy from wherever you like.

“Both companies offer a variety in sizes especially larger sizes and there is no price difference between online shops and physical stores.
