Alnat1 said:I said I would report back on my "dryer balls" and if they do actually cut down the drying time as claimed. Previously had said it seemed faster but I wanted proof.
I used exactly the same wash load, king-sized bedding, washed on the same programme.
With dryer balls took 36 minutes. Without dryer balls took 48 minutes.
So a perfect 25% saving, the manufacturer (Ecoegg) claimed up to 28% so not bad.0
