i used cascade powder to refill miele cartridges. there was 0 difference with regards to residue/etc. also SDS was very similiar.

i just went to check amazon. cascade complete powder has 4.6 with 9k reviews. if it was subpar, pretty sure that rating would have reflected it. for example plant based detergents hover around 4.

It's also highly dependent on how soft your water is. The people complaining about performance probably have hard water. Do you ever have to descale your kettle / coffee maker?

I have used Kirkland pods for years and have never noticed residue.
