Pros & Cons
Pros
It's a little pricey, but in order to keep your down in tip top shape and working great, you need to clean it properly. Works well on down jackets and gortex items. It is a bonus that it also restores water repellency.
Money saver. Could not be happier.
Use low-temp dryer setting with tennis balls to get the down to bounce back fluffy. Took out the grease and after washing/drying, down return to perfect condition.
Cons
Terrible smell and left white gel everywhere on jacket. Returning it right away.

I tried to fix it by throwing it in the dryer with some dryer balls but still came out flat.
Keeps jackets clean but the smell is horrible
Price
Would definitely recommend buying the larger bottle because you get 10 rinses vs 3 rinses for only double the price

The parka came out a lot fluffier than before but sadly still not quite the same as the original state but i think that’s due to me screwing up the down from my initial wash

So my advice to everyone is don’t wash your parkas unless you absolutely have to
