They work but prints should always be turned around to not be ruined by the spikes
Verified product owner
They do make a difference with fluffing up the towels and reduce drying time.
Verified product owner
Definitely quicker drying time and clothes feel softer
Verified product owner
I only use my dryer for short periods, normally to soften towels as I live in a hard water area. These help the job along very quickly - five minutes in the dryer with these cubes and the towels then air dry easily without being scratchy.

Makes me feel less guilty when i'm using the tumble dryer for the umpteenth time! Has cut about 20 minutes off the drying time for a standard load. Well worth the money.
Verified product owner
These cubes dry my clothes really quick and they are still as fluffy as with the sheets.
Verified product owner
Bought to replace old ones which had gone hard working brilliantly.

Great product

They work every bit as well as tumble dryer sheets; they're economical and there's nothing to throw away at the end of each cycle, as they're reusable.
Verified product owner
Used for the last few weeks and they've halved my drying time. Would recommend them to anyone wanting to reduce the amount of electricity they use while drying.
Verified product owner
These burnt and went black within a few uses so I can't use them. Waste of money.
Verified product owner
Use in tumble dryer good quality
Verified product owner
I've used them a couple times already, and they seem to work as my clothes dried much faster. Good product.

An addition to my 2 dry cubes

These guys have lasted several years now. Good, durable product.
Fantastic. Drying time has been reduced by at least a quarter. They are quieter than expected too. Excellent value for money considering the saving on energy!
Verified product owner
These cubes leave the wash softer and seem toreduce the drying time too.
Verified product owner
Havent had them long enough to see how durable they are, but seem to be well rated by others - time will tell. Living in the Welsh hills, we tend to get more liquid sunshine so anything that helps reduce drying/ironing bills has to be worth it!

I can find no fault with this product but haven't used the balls on many washes yet.
Verified product owner
Excellent product.
Verified product owner
I use both cubes in my dryer, which is in use most of the week, they last for ages and I would recommend this product to anyone wishing to find an eco alternative to dryer sheets.
Verified product owner
I use them with any tumble drying I do - I'm not sure if it reduces the time it takes to dry clothes but my clothes do seem softer if I've aired some clothes on the clothes line then run them quickly through the tumble dryer to finish off.
Verified product owner
Very pleased with them, do make towels very soft and fluffy
Verified product owner
They work well instead of tumble dryer sheets
Verified product owner
Slightly soft as opposed to super soft!
Verified product owner
A perfect replacement for my old broken ones. They do the job!
Verified product owner
Does decrease drying time and condition clothes. Also rattles noisily, especially at start of drying.
Verified product owner
Actually seem to work.
Verified product owner
I use the tumble dryer cubes all the time, they cut down drying time and the use of dryer sheets. They save the environment and your finances! The new cubes are also a lot quieter than previous products.
Verified product owner
I bought these cubes as a replacement for some drier balls which had cracked. During the autumn and winter I find using the drier unavoidable with the laundry demands of a young family, so anything I can do to cut down the drying time is a must. These cubes are definitely helping.

Do the job

I have been using this product for years. Bought these for my son at university
Verified product owner
Good but noisy
Verified product owner
Using already
Verified product owner
Good quality, would recommend to family and friends alongside washing balls.
Verified product owner
I have tried many washballs and end up exasperated. However these dryer balls are effective and reliably cut 10 minutes plus off drying time. I never used any other product like drying sheets and had stopped using fabric conditioner before I used them. They are noisy depending on what and how much you are drying but as the question answer says, not as annoying as some fastenings on clothes. I don't think you'd want, say, to be eating a meal next to a dryer running with these in, but we have ours in another room so that's not an issue and although we run our dryer overnight, it doesn't wake any anyone (human or canine)

Brought by my friend from UK and using this morning, found out clothes are much soften than using the normal softening sheets, less wrinkles and easy for iron. But no time cut for drying, for me it's not important.
Verified product owner
Using these has significantly reduced our drying time. Our clothes would previously wrap themselves into a hot soggy ball, we would have to unwrap them regular intervals to get them to dry properly, but this is no longer a problem.
Verified product owner
Really great product. With 2 children I have a lot of washing and this really does cut drying time and makes clothes (esp towels) really soft.
Verified product owner
I have used the dryer balls with great success. My laundry and towels are definitely softer with no static. I have also noticed a definite improvement in drying time which, when you have a lot of loads to dry is going to save quite a lot of energy. All in all a fab product.
Verified product owner
Don't bother - these don't seem to make any difference
6 Questions
Redsam asked this question on 8th Feb 2009
Q: Hi. How does the product actually work? Nowhere does it explain the mechanism.
A: The yellow and green Dryerballs have different tensile strengths (one is harder than the other) and different shaped softening nodes. The two dryerballs have been designed so that they work in combination to lift and separate the laundry whilst tumble drying. The Dryerballs also retain heat and transfer it to the clothes as they tumble, thus aiding the drying process. There is no need to add a "softening" dryer sheet or use fabric softener in your wash. The dryerballs use the specially designed nodes to physically break down the stiffness created by water drying in fabric, thus softening your laundry without the introduction of toxic chemicals.

Emma asked this question on 19th Nov 2007
Q: Are the balls noisy as they tumble around the machine?
A: No - they are fairly soft in terms of their surface texture, and in use they tend to work their way into the heart of the load so are well muffled. They are certainly no where near as loud as the annoying metal zip pull on my favourite hoodie... John.

Anonymous asked this question on 22nd Oct 2008
Q: Is it best to place dryer balls in the centre of the washing on top?
A: Many people prefer to start with the dryer balls in the centre, but it shouldn't make too much difference as the spikes on the outside of the balls will enable them to work around the load lifting and separating the clothing. This allows heat and air to circulate more freely, meaning your drying time is reduced. The balls also eliminate the need for fabrics softeners as the balls' specially designed surface nodules physically breakdown the stiffness created by water drying in the fabric, naturally softening your laundry without the need to add chemical softeners or conditioners.

Joanne asked this question on 28th Jan 2008
Q: Does anybody else get a lot of static in the laundry when using these balls? If so is there a way around it?
A: According to the manufacturers one of the key benefits of using Dryer Balls is that they should actually reduce static, no one in the office has any experience of a static problem - but we'll put the question on our Facebook friends to see if any of them has any experience / advice.

Q: Can you use the balls in the washing machine to soften the clothes, instead of fabric softner?I line dry and not use tumble dryer.
A: I'm afraid there's nothing in the products documentation which covers such usage. John.
