Dryer Balls - Do they really work?

Yesterday, I was shopping at Restoration Hardware. I came across these dryer balls from Nellie’s All Natural. I’ve seen these products several times in the last year or so and wanted to find out more about them before I actually purchased them. I studied the packaging so that when I got home I could Google the product to find out more. I noticed that directly on the dryer ball itself “dryerballs.com” was imprinted. I came home and typed in the URL to find out more. This brought me to a site for Nellie’s All Natural Products. The website is: http://www.nelliesallnatural.com/. I was pleasantly surprised to find a whole collection of dryer, stain removal, washer and dishwasher products that are all environmentally friendly cleaning products. I’m planning on ordering a whole collection of these items to test them out, as it makes me feel good to do my part for the environment; I strongly encourage others to do so as well.

Getting back to the dryer balls… They claim to reduce drying time anywhere from 15-25%. I’ve found a variety of reviews, stating that they work just as well as tennis balls to people saying that they wouldn’t do laundry without them since purchasing the dryer balls. I say that it doesn’t hurt to try them, especially when you can find them for under $20 with a money-back guarantee. These dryer balls will pay for themselves within a month! If you’ve used dryer balls, please post your thoughts before I purchase these. I’ll follow up on this post in a bit after I’ve purchased and used the dryer balls for a while.

I’d really be interested in trying the dryer balls too, however, how can they say it saved 25% of drying time? Did they test this? If so, how was this calculated? And if it was really calculated how much energy have they already wasted doing this?

I’m skeptical :)

@Jamie:
good point Jamie! But, if they were already drying things, it couldn’t have wasted energy, right? Who knows… ? I say it can’t slow down the drying!
