I use wool dryer balls which I picked up at Trader Joe's. I've been able to reduce my drying time by at least 25% if not more. The clothes come out dryer, less random damp spots due to clumping. As for static, I haven't noticed a difference, but I normally don't have an issue with static. Fyi, I don't use dryer sheets either.

It's still noisy, but it may less noisy compared to the rubber balls.

Wow, that's a big improvement on dryer time. I had no idea they could make that much difference.

I've only used my dryer balls once. The noise wasn't an issue at all...I had six of them going at once. It kept the quilt and sherpa lap blanket more separated for more airflow.

It's great to hear that they don't make much noise and that they keep items a little separated from each other. I'm going to order some right now. Thanks miscel and monica!
