Yes they will help soften fabrics and dry the load quicker.

It's recommended to use both at same time. That said depending on the size of the load you're drying you might find one is enough!
They are very noisy

Hi SuliRam, I can confirm that, despite their noisiness, dryer balls will cause no damage to your dryer.
I have to use drier sheets in all my washes to prevent the static build up from jumpers, and tights especially - so will these balls also prevent the awful static as well as save me money on my leccy bill?

Hi Mrscheeks, these balls should help reduce static build up on tights and jumpers.They help reduce crease and wrinkles, and should get between the clothes, preventing static build up.

Yes, our marketing director does - but he puts his in when the drying cycle starts. He's been recommending this product to me for ages.
I am not disputing the claim but 25% reduction is very, very good so where is the science for it. Show me some and I will buy the balls - may do anyway for the softening action.

Hi Kyzer Jock, I apologise for the delay in responding to your query! The 'up to 25%' is what the manufacturer has printed on the packaging of this product. Their official website is here if you'd like to see for yourself: www.dryerballs.co.uk Basically what the balls do is they agitate the clothes which means more surface area is exposed to the hot air from the dryer. This is what helps decrease the amount of time it takes to dry your clothes. However the figure it 'up to 25%' and not an empirical '25%' so how much energy you save will really be up to what kind of load you're drying and your model of tumble dryer.
I currently use the dryer balls from Lakeland Plastics. They are very effective indeed and have fittings inside to include a fragrance stick. Are your the same? Many thanks. Sheena
