I bought two dryer balls in the pound shop, and always use them.

They make a real racket for a minute or two, and then seem to calm down.

I really cannot say if they actually do anything- only use them in hope that they do as tumble drying is SO expensive.

I’ve been using these balls for about three years now and I’ve definitely found they reduce drying time. I haven’t noticed any difference in softness though, and I only use them on items such as towels and sheets and they seem to crease clothes (many of which I just tumble dry and put on hangers with no ironing).

I remain sceptical about the benefits of these balls. They are very noisy and put lots of dimples in my drum.

I bought some dryer balls last year. I live in a bungalow and found the noise was absolutely unbearable! in addition I didn’t find they made any difference to time or softness. When you have a long drying load such as towels, which take two hours, it is a nightmare to have the crashing and thumping going on. I tried to make sure that they were inside the towels but they didn’t stay there.
In the end I contacted the supplier who gave me a credit to choose something else from their range which was better than nothing

I fell for the hype and the promised reduction in drying times. What a waste of money, they do not reduce drying time at all nor make the clothes softer without conditioner. Useless
