I have an little older dryer, works great, but to cut down on drying time, and fabric softner I decided to buy the Dryer Balls. I noticed that they would get stuck in the clothes and would be missing for the next load if I didn't notice, or take time to dig threw the clothes. Unfortunatly I didn't notice any diffrence in drying time, even with smaller loads. Maybe if it was all towels, they seemed to do fine, make them fluffier, but that was the only load that I saw worth putting them in. The dryer balls were not overly noisy. You can definatly hear them, but not like worth being annoyed by. Maybe I"m weird, but I liked the sme...

i was skeptical when i saw these. i did not see how something such as a rubber textured ball could soften clothes and eliminate static. i had a few extra dollars in my paypal account so i used them to get this item off ebay for fairly inexpensively. when they arrived i was eager to use them. they are a little smaller than a tennis ball, nubby and a hard plastic. you stick them both in the dryer instead of a dryer sheet along with your regular load of clothes and the idea is that they are supposed to soften clothes just as well as sheets do. they are also supposed to cut down drying time. i personally did not notice a real difference in the cutting down of drying time but they really do softe...

Throw a Couple of Balls in the Dryer for Fluffier Laundry

Overall

Rated 4 out of 5

My husband was complaining that our towels don't seem to get soft enough, even if he throws in an extra fabric softener dryer sheet.  Rather than using more chemical softeners to achieve fluffier laundry, I asked him to bring home a package of Dryer Max Dryer Balls from the corner drugstore.  I had seen the commercial and catalog ads for some time, and it seemed the perfect excuse to give them a try. The dryer balls cost about $10, and come two to a package.  The rubbery balls have little fingers that massage your laundry while it tumble dries.  The package claims that laundry will be softer and static-free, and will dry more quickly - all without chemicals.  Aft...

For Christmas last year, I received a set of **Dryer Max Dryer Balls **as a gift.  When I first saw them, I just kind of stared at them blankly.  I had NO idea what they were.  It was actually quite funny because just the look on my face was all that was needed to create a roar of laughter among my family members.  Come to find out, these dryer balls are no joke.  They work great!

 The Facts

• Softens fabrics naturally

I bought these things to eliminate the need for dryer sheets ( which have been reported to cause build up on lint screens and potentially result in fire hazards) or liquid softener ( which builds up in fabrics overtime, can make some fabrics discolor or seem sticky to the touch) and generally to save money.  The idea isn't so different than when our mother's used to throw a clean tennis shoe in the dryer to fluff up towels and blankets when we were little kids....so I forked over my $9.99 and took them home to start using immediately.  Yes the clothing was nice and fluffy and yes, I wasn't spending money for additional softening products....but the silly things fell apart after abo...

Dryer Max Balls Gets rid of the Static.

Rated 3 out of 5

I ran out of my Downy liquid fabric softener the other day and static is really a problem this time of year. Then I remembered these little dryer balls I picked up at the dollar store. I got them because I saw them on TVand they were only $1.00. I don't remember what they cost on the television add but I know it was more than a buck.I pulled them down out of the cabinet and threw them in the dryer for the first time.

When the load was finished, I crossed my fingers and began to take the clothes out of the dryer. To my surprise there was no static.I missed the fragrance of the Downey but there was no static cling.I do not know how and maybe it was my imagination but I think it also softened ...

I wanted to love these, but I just can't.

When I first saw Dryer Max Dryer Balls advertised on TV, I knew I wanted to try them. I really liked the idea of having a reusable alternative to dryer sheets and fabric softener. Plus, I have some clothing whose label specifically says not to use fabric softeners. I also had young babies, and was avoiding fabric softeners for the sake of their sensitive skin. I thought these Dryer Balls would be the perfect solution for my needs.

I don't feel that Dryer Max Dryer Balls fluff clothes as well as traditional fabric softeners and dryer sheets. They definitely do not adequately remove static. Fresh out of the dryer, I still find cat hair and other lint stuck to clothing that wouldn't be ...

LOVE These Dryer Max Dryer Balls!

Several years ago I started moving away from commercial fabric softeners. They seemed wasteful to me, and the chemicals kind of creeped me out. They're also expensive. I started using vinegar in all of our wash cycles as fabric softener, which worked quite well, but wasn't the most affordable option. Recently I noticed a package of Dryer Max dryer balls in the laundry aisle of my grocery store and immediately picked up a package. I started using them with my very next load of laundry, and I am SO pleased with them. I've only been using them for a few months but they've already paid for themselves! They seem pretty sturdy to me, and I've noticed a definite decrease in clothing static/wrinkles...

I bought these because many times I am rushing around trying to get me and my family ready to go somewhere after work. No time to iron! So, I picked these up hoping and praying they would deliver. They did nothing. I also tried using them in fresh laundry because sometimes cloths come straight out of the wash wrinkled. They don't work in that respect either. They made no difference in the softness. They did not affect drying time whatsoever! I cannot comment on the static because I don't usually experience static until the cold winter months. Oh and the noise! It sounds as if someone is beating on something in my basement. I wonder to if it could harm the drum of my dryer?  Fortunately I found them at the dollar store so I'm not out big bucks. Now I know why they were at the dollar store. I was truly disappointed. As a busy mom, I'm always sourcing ways to make life a little easier. Unfortunately these were not one of them.

energy saving dryer balls

I love my dryer balls!  I had recently read an article that said dryer balls save money by fluffing the clothes and reducing dryer time. Soon after, I saw the dryer balls and bought them on a whim.  I am so happy that my dryer balls found me.  I have a front loading Energy Efficient washing machine and an older extra large capacity dryer.  I beieve my washer is larger than my dryer.  When I wash my laundry, I often wash and dry sweaters with thinner permanent press fabrics.  Before Dryer Balls entered my life, I would set my dryer on the Extra Dry Automatic setting. All of my clothes were never dry.  I had to reset my dryer at least once and sometimes twice...

I began using this product approximately 3 years ago.  I love that these balls do make my towels MUCH softer and fluffier, however, there are also a few downsides of this product as well.  The balls easily get stuck in sleeves and pockets, so I spend quite a bit of time "hunting" down where the ball(s) went.  I also don't feel like the balls really have that much effect on whether or not my clothes will be wrinkled.  I also find that when I do very small loads of laundry, the balls hit the sides of the dryer and bang around quite a bit, which is kind of disconcerting.  But all in all, I'd have to say that I do like how the balls tend to reduce drying time for my laun...

Dryer Max balls really work in ventilating and reducing static

Overall

Rated 4 out of 5

I used two of these. I was reading what consumers had to say about their experience, so I started using six balls in a load of laundry. I got better results. The little bumps in the balls somehow lift and separate clothes and add circulation to help with the drying process. This process also helps soften clothes. I'm not sure if it would damage clothes. I have not experienced that. Sometimes the balls do get caught up in clothes, usually towels. Also, they bounce and make things a bit louder, but it isn';t much of a nuisance. The balls separating clothes probably helps reduce static too. On average, these balls reduce dryer time by about 15 minutes, so they do save money as far as electricity. I don't think they are much of a value for the price. You can reuse the balls, but they certainly won't last forever. One of mine already tore apart. My clothes still came out wrinkled. The balls should be used on large loads. They really dont work on small or medium loads.

I was given these as a gift.  My first thought was you got to be kidding how can these possibly work.  So I washed a load of laundry then put in in the dryer with my new Dryer Max Dryer Balls.  To my surprise the clothes were nice and fluffy and soft.  I have been using the original two dryer balls for about 5 years now and have not been disappointed yet.  They are harder than they were new and may need replacing soon, but that is just from continued heat hitting them over the past 5 years.  My towels are fluffy my jeans are soft as well as the rest of my laundry.  I love the fact that I no longer have to waste money on fabric softener and dryer sheets.  The only downside is if you drop one on the floor they do roll and are sometimes hard to track down.  They can also hid inside a shirt or pair of jeans, but that's no big deal.  This is a great invention and the $10 investment every 5 years or so is well worth it.

Hope you like static and THUNK, THUNK, THUNK.

     My mom bought these for me a month ago insisting that not only would they save me the cost of buying dryer sheets, but that it would alleviate the problems I've been having with my baby son having reactions (rashes on his stomach and legs) that we're pretty sure were from the dryer sheets.  I wasn't too keen on trying them, but thought it couldn't hurt, since Mom was so insistent.  Honestly, I don't think they do a thing!  Mom says she thinks they actually work, but I used them faithfully for a whole month so she couldn't say I didn't give them a chance, and I really don't think they do anything.  Not only are all my clothes extremely static-y, but I also now have to listen to THUNK-THUNK-THUNK every single time I do the laundry from those balls hitting the sides of the dryer.   Very, very annoying.  I finally just gave them to my 2 little ones, who love playing with the "spikey balls," which is pretty much all I think they're good for.

Glad these were cheap, because do not do what they claim

My main complaint with these balls are the fabric softner issue.  They say it reduces drying time, and there is no need for dryer sheets!!  I tried this 2xs without dryer sheets, and wow, shocks everywhere..  so much static.  I still use them when I am drying heavy blankets and sheets, but I also throw in a couple fabric softner sheets.  I use the balls, with the hopes that it reduces the drying time of the blankets and sheets.  (fluff them up)  Heard somewhere that putting tennis balls in will cut drying time too.  I really do not think it is cutting the drying time by much if any.  I will not buy again.  Tried them with regular clothes, Mistake, it pulls on the clothes and you can see the color of the clothes on the balls, and some items it will actually put pulls in them, so all in all a no for this.
