About Dryer Balls XL | The Best Permanent Non Toxic, Allergy & Chemical Free Fabric Softener
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
68% found it easy to clean
The dryer balls are easy to find, even when lost for a while and found in the pocket of a pair of sweatpants.
Dryer balls work without adding anything extra to the clothes.
77% praised the lint reduction
I haven't used dryer sheets in years and have resorted to using rolled up compressed balls of foil for static reduction.
76% praised the long-lasting performance, but 24% desired more
The dryer balls have a usage count before they start breaking down a bit. If they last for 4-6 months before needing replacement, it is a good deal in terms of performance, cost savings, and hypogenic qualities for those with sensitive skin.
One of my dryer balls broke through the opposite end of the hole for essential oils, indicating that the product did not last long.
I purchased these dryer balls in November 2016 and have had them replaced three times. The most recent time, I was informed it would be the last time they would honor the warranty. After 3-6 months of use, they crack and break up into a million pieces.
Dryer balls become hard and eventually crack with use, requiring replacement.
70% praised for reducing dryer noise, but 30% didn't
The dryer balls make a bit of noise when the dryer starts to tumble since they are plastic, but quiet down as the warmth makes them softer.
I have found the dryer balls to be lightweight and have not experienced any noise issues while using them.
The dryer balls make a lot of noise hitting the sides of the dryer, no matter how big the load is.
82% were impressed with the odor 18% weren't
I have complained about the dryer balls having a strong chemical smell that does not go away even after airing out. I even tried soaking them in vinegar for two days to no avail. This means that the dryer balls are outgassing and I do not want that on my clothes.
77% liked the softening ability
I have started using vinegar instead of fabric softener, but it's not great at softening. I used to have hard plastic dryer balls, but these softer ones are wonderful. They're not loud at all and definitely live up to their claims.
Dryer balls help me dry my clothing faster, using less energy and limiting exposure to chemicals.
I have not noticed any difference in softness between using these dryer balls and liquid fabric softener.
Dryer balls soften and remove wrinkles without adding any chemicals to clothes, making it a true miracle for people with sensitive skin.
69% liked the static reduction, but 31% experienced issues
Dryer balls help clothes separate from each other, making them fluffy and dry evenly and possibly faster.
Dryer balls work well to keep clothes wrinkle and static free.
I found that wool dryer balls were not effective in eliminating static electricity in my laundry when cooler weather arrived.
Dryer balls work well to cut drying time in half but do little to nothing to stop static.
