Amazing Energy Saving Dryer Balls

An Interesting Way to Help Save on Energy Costs

John Ehle
The Amazing Energy Saving Dryer Balls are one of the many products I checked out during one of my on-line shopping binges at Frugal Junk. It seemed like a pretty simple and low cost product that might actually make a difference. How the Amazing Energy Saving Dryer Balls work is quite simple; the balls go in with a load of wet laundry into your gas or electric dryer. The Amazing Energy Saving Dryer Balls are designed in a way to efficiently separate your clothing while in the drying stage. This allows air to flow through your laundry items and let the moisture from your clothing vent easily.

When I opened up the package I was quite skeptical. The Amazing Energy Saving Dryer Balls looked very similar to a pet chew toy you might find at any department or grocery store. With all the little spikes and "coosh" ball like shape I thought I was took for the couple bucks I spent on the item. I actually went out and bought a similar dog chew toy to compare the two!

First I put in a load of towels without either the Amazing Energy Saving Dryer Balls or the dog chew toy to get a baseline time. It had taken approximately 46 minutes to dry the towels. Now I tried the Amazing Energy Saving Dryer Balls With the same towels used for the baseline test and washed them in the same fashion as before.

I was pleasantly surprised with the result. The towels were dried in only 32 minutes! A 14 minute savings of one dryer load convinced me that the Amazing Energy Saving Dryer Balls were not just a re-branded dog chew toy gimmick. But I wanted to continue on with my experiment and try the dog chew toy.

After 10 minutes of drying, I smelled a horrible burning rubber odor. I opened up the dryer and what I feared had come true; a nasty glob of rubber had fused to the towels, ruining them. Even though the two products were similar in look the Amazing Energy Saving Dryer Balls were obviously designed with materials that can withstand the abuse of a dryer. The Amazing Energy Saving Dryer Balls are also hypoallergenic according to the package. I would highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to cut down on drying time and lower their utility bill. So far I have used the Amazing Energy Saving Dryer Balls for over three months and no problems whatsoever. I estimate I have saved over $50 so far in energy costs in that short amount of time
