I saw an advertisement for a steam ball to place in the dryer onT.V. I was wondering if this product would give good results. I know some of the wash machines incorporate this in their newer models. I am not ready to purchase one since mine is only four years old. The prduct is called MR. Steamy. Please advise.

Well the reviews on the Mister Steamy are not pretty good! Looks like just another infomercial piece of garbage. Here are some actual customer reviews:
"This is the worst purchase ever. First off I think they charged shipping to go around the world then to my house. Second: It’s useless!!!!!!! Dry or wet clothing or bed sheets and they come out the same with or with out the green mr. steamy miracle. I think this company should have worked on this product and make it a dog chew toy. I think it will have more use for it."
"Wow, like Mister Steamy the as seen on tv steam dryer ball. It did take nearly 8 weeks to receive it, I think it works like a charm. I’ve been using it 3 times a week instead of doing full washes. I have 3 kids and I have been using the Fresh Shots to get their uniforms smelling nice and presentable. I like Mister Steamy and honestly am happy with how it works. I don’t understand all the negative words. Not my experience."
"I cant believe people are stupid enough to add it to wet clothes and then ask why it doesn’t work!? lol. Mr steamys doesn’t actually release steam…dryers would have to get to 212 degrees (the boiling point of water) to make steam and no dryer gets that hot! Mr Steamys purpose is only to release small amounts of water (humidity) to dry clothes to help remove wrinkles. If the clothes are already wet why would adding more water help?? lol. Honestly you can achieve the same thing by adding a wet washcloth to a load of dry clothes for about ten minutes at the dryers highest temperature. Think about it…Mr Steamy is only a rubber ball with water in it…the rubber ball doesn’t actually do anything..its the water in it. Just add the water to a washcloth and achieve the exact same results! I been doing it for 30 years and don’t need to waste money on a stupid Mr Steamy!"
"Do not waste your money on Mr. Steamy- it is a terrible product- it does not work. The company is equally terrible- they send you extra products you did not ask for, then try to charge you for them- they do not answer the phone (they do eventually answer email). It took me 3 months to get my money (minus shipping) refunded. Buyer beware!!!"
""Mister Steamy sold by The Master Scammer! Nice job con-artists! How you clowns sleep at night taking advantage of people and their hard working money is simply deplorable. Those of you who were scammed, rest assured the big wheel spins and they’ll get their lunch one day!"
That said, save your money, it seems like the only good reviews are about the stuff they give that smalls good, well, isn't that what a dryer sheet could do????
