Yes, it is safe to use HE detergent in a normal top-loader washing machine.

From Tide.com: "Our HE detergent is designed especially for HE washing machines - both front and top loading. If you have a non-HE washing machine (which is usually top-loading only), you can use HE detergentbut it's not necessary. It won't harm the machine but you'll notice less suds."

Do you really need high efficiency laundry detergent?

High efficiency (or "HE") detergent is designed to produce fewer suds (foam and bubbles) than regular detergent. So, yes, it is important to use HE detergent if you're using an HE washing machine! Using regular detergent in an HE machine would be like using regular dish washing detergent in an automatic dishwasher - imagine the foam! Using HE detergent in a regular machine, however, is just fine - only difference is that you would notice fewer suds.

Yes you can. However, by using it you wear out your bearings and washing machine drum so it is actually cheaper if you use the HE detergent because you want your washing machine to last as many years as it can. Buying a new washing machine or regularly fixing the old one is more expensive than buying the specialized HE detergent which can be a bit more pricey that the regular detergent.
