Have a look at their optimistically named "proven to work" page; I would be dubious about a product where even the manufacturer is happy to publish a report that contains

"On the items tested it is unlikely the consumer would notice the difference"

and

The improvements are not significant

I ordered some similar ones form lakeland - they do work, but are easily lost on emptying drier - especially if the dog grabs it off the floor!

I got some from lakeland a couple of weeks ago. I am such a tart, I just liked the colour. I am still trying to decide if they a) dry quicker (why would they I ask ?) and b) make things fluffier. But I have to say that the sound of them whoomping round in there is driving me mad and OH keeps removing them from dryer anyway as his little ears are more sentisive than mine, so jury still out on whether they work, but I suspect not, and might have put the £9 or so to better use I feel........

I bought some at the Ideal Home Exhibition. I think they do make drying time a bit quicker.

The theory is they separate the clothes, allowing the hot air to get between the layers.
