I got both top n front load washing machine. Got use both liquid and powder.
So far 1 problem i noticed if using powder, dry and clog leftover powder inside detergent drawer tat need to be clean use brush or hot water. Other part so far no problem cos powder will dissovled in water. In the same time during rinsing oso more than enough to clean any leftover detergent bubble inside washing machine.
My old house that i rent out oso i bought front load washing machine since 2015. Tenant is my fren and most of time they using powder detergent cos cheap, so far no complaint from them.
But yes using liquid type much easier.

rent to tenant of course no complaint because they don't care
if it's only the detergent drawer thn that's easy to clean but my previous experience is it isn't
so end up either disassemble it to clean it up or just buy a new washing machine
