Much as I love the idea of not having to put a dryer sheet in each load and removing them after each load, I was not happy about having to adhere the Bounce Dryer Bar to the inside of my dryer with an adhesive strip.  I guess I did not know about that.  

First I have a relatively new dryer. So I wonder how well will and how long will the adhesive last in a hot dryer.  Will it come loose?  How often will it have to be replaced?  Will the bar break loose and thump around in the tumbling dryer?  Will the adhesive leave residue on the dryer that will not clean off well? Will the melted adhesive ruin clothes?  Will the plastic holder melt?  Can you stick it back on if it falls off?  Since I had no answers I have not installed the unit and have no plans to. I have seen reviews saying they are expensive, they do not last long and they do fall off the dryer inside.  My dryer only has three settings, cool fluff, perma press and high.  the two setting with heat get very hot, which is not recommended with the bar.  Instructions for the unit were sparse.

Plus my dryer is a stack unit, and I am very short, so I would have pull up a chair or a stepstool to install, change or fix it when needed. It does not seem worth the effort to me.

I will wait to see how others do in the long term.

 

NOTE: the reviewer indicated that they received a sample of Bounce Dryer Bar

I was a little irked by the lack of instructions when i received my sample as well....unfortunately I stuck the darn thing in my dryer (I'm a sucker for free samples) and now that I'm reading all these awful reviews for the product, I am NOT looking forward to removing the sticky residue....Dryer sheets are cheaper and work better in my opinion. Thanks for sharing. :)
