How heavy/dense are they? I tried making my own and they're really loud and I'm worried they're damaging my dryer.

They aren't as dense as tennis balls. Not sure how they would damage a dryer. I've been using this type of ball for over a year and I like them.

Dear Baker, they are soft, they DO NOT MAKE A LOUD NOISE, and they wil not damage your dryer. Rgs., c

They are about as heavy as a ball of yarn, if that helps. They make only minimal noise in the dryer. Much quieter than tennis balls or similar. I think the woollies are worth the investment.

They're not heavy at all and I don't hear them in our dryer. I use all 6 balls for every cycle.

Our dryer is close to the TV room and they do not disturb us at all. They are a great product and I'm surprising my daughter with a set.

They are just a tiny bit bigger than a tennis ball but more padded. They make a dull thumping sound in the dryer, not really loud though. I really doubt they could hurt the dryer as they are bouncing around in the clothes. I have been using mine for awhile a they work pretty well but still allow some static cling in the clothes, particularly if you have synthetic and wool in the same load.

I don't know what the other buyers got or are thinking, but mine are definitely squishy and can be collapsed with your hand. Not quite as hard as a tennis ball, but definitely not hard. If it was really solid hard, you would dent the inside of your dryer! a couple of tennis balls would work too.

Its quite difficult to give a definative yes or no answer. . From my personal experience they work just like a after market piece. If your original piece worked perfect this would be like a bootleg version at least for my dryer. I personally will have to buy a whole new dryer but its worth the try

They are pretty loud. I had 30 adults in a room with iffy accoustics and they worked great. People will all hit them at once and it isn't easy to distinguish. They were a big hit.

Well I can't. Help you there, I earned it as it was loud and heavy. I'd used centrix tourlamine dryer a at a friends house and it was much nicer so I got that instead.

I can't answer your question. To me they seemed different and I am not happy with them. They dryer is very noisy. I am going to look for different ones.

I have been using these back to back since late July, with several washes in between and that has never happen to me. I wash them with a hot cycle meant for heavy cotton and then rinse a second time. I have never used a dryer on them, that could be why yours are balling up. I just hang dry for a few hours.

This is a sturdy dryer, been using it consistently for about a year w/o any trouble. It may weigh around a pound or so. Not sure why you asked this question.

SturdyNot loud. If they clatter, they need to be adjusted. No, not heavy. Good clprs.

I find it quite heavy. I would prefer a smaller dryer with the same features.

They are very heavy duty. I do not have mine in use like that now, but plan on trying it soon.

I do get some static on things like nylon but then conventional dryer sheets, etc... don't do much better. I really like these and after getting used to fishing for them in each load, I MUCH prefer them to anything else.

It's about the same as a regular dryer. Not any louder than a regular dryer.

The dryer isn't very loud. You can have a conversation on the phone or watch TV while the dryer is working. You might have to increase the volume to hear everything clearly.

I recommend you get the vent kit for this dryer and it's less than $20.00. OR you can do like I did and put a panty hose on it, helps heat my house and not much noise....smells good too!! I hope this helps you...

I have these speakers, and they are for some reason EXTREMELY heavy in the packaging. They are in a double industrial cardboard type box... a retail and a shipping box. I do doubt that they are THAT heavy (no way cardboard weighed ~30 lbs, maybe like 10), but it did add a significant amount of weight in just packaging.

Sounds like the dryer is running. Doesn't bother me much, but isn't exactly quiet
