Guide Review - Dryer Max Dryer Balls: Product Review

Dryer Max Dryer Balls are a money-saving product that actually lives up to the hype. Made of PVC plastic, these spiny balls take the place of liquid fabric softener and dryer sheets. Just toss the balls into the dryer with your laundry, and they’ll fluff and separate your clothing to reduce drying time and soften your clothes. Available in stores, on TV and on the Internet, dryer balls require an average investment of around $10.00. Calculate what you typically spend for a two-year’s supply of fabric softener, and the savings is quite substantial.

Loud and don't work, Member kelliemurray

Using these balls is about as bad as drying a pair of sneakers.....extremely loud and obnoxious. Also, they didn't remove the static like I expected and I don't believe my clothes were as soft as when I use my liquid softener. They certainly don't add the wonderful scent that the liquid softener adds and that is a huge reason I use the liquid softener. Thanks but no thanks.
