About Wool Dryer Balls by Smart Sheep 6-Pack, XL Premium Reusable Natural Fabric Softener Award-Winning
Overall Feedback:
87% positive
83% found it easy to clean
I take 20 nuts, boil them in 9 cups of water for about an hour and a half, and make a concentrate that can be used for cold water. I use about 1/4-1/2 of a cup for every load and it works great.
I have noticed that the dryer balls pick up some lint from darker clothing but are still in good condition.
82% praised the lint reduction, but 18% didn't notice a difference
Dryer balls reduce waste by eliminating dryer sheets, packaging waste and powdery residue in the lint trap.
I bought wool dryer balls to reduce dryer sheet waste.
I have noticed that the dryer balls do not completely control static and leave lint on certain pieces of clothing.
The dryer balls did not reduce lint on dark clothing. Instead, they made it look like it was rolled in dog hair.
82% praised the long-lasting performance, but 18% desired more
The balls have become significantly smaller since I bought them, indicating they may not last as long as advertised. I would be surprised if they lasted a year.
The plastic dryer balls are not lasting as long as I hoped. The tips are starting to break and they are getting thinner and thinner.
After a month of use, my dryer-balls have started to fluff out and fray.
78% praised for reducing dryer noise, but 22% didn't
The dryer balls make some noise, but it's not as loud as tennis balls and comparable to a washer.
The dryer balls are very loud upstairs and make a lot of noise.
Despite being well-made, the dryer balls did not reduce static in my laundry.
The dryer balls are loud.
69% were impressed with the odor 31% weren't
I customized the scent of my dryer balls with essential oils, now my laundry smells like lavender, roses, amber and a hint of musk.
The first load of laundry had a faint aroma, but the next load had no scent at all.
The dryer balls have a strong odor of sheep.
The dryer balls had an immediate and distinct animal odor that smelled like going to a goat farm.

81% liked the softening ability, but 19% didn't
Fabric softening from the balls has been fantastic. Towels are especially wonderful now since we didn't use fabric softener on them before.
The Magic Balls arrived and added some softening to the sheets, although not a lot.
I bought the dryer balls for their fabric softening ability, but did not notice a difference in static cling.
I found no difference in softness when using the smart wool balls compared to not using any softener at all.
78% liked the static reduction, but 22% experienced issues
Dryer balls reduced static cling for most types of loads and wrinkling was the same as using a dryer sheet.
Dryer balls not only reduce static cling but also shorten the typical dryer cycle, saving me money on my electric bill.
I found that the dryer balls did not reduce static and actually made it worse compared to dryer sheets.
