Odor Elimination

Pros:

  • "These balls aren't just confined to the fridge. They work wonders in sports bags, pet areas, musty closets, and even my stinky gym shoes."
  • "I placed one at the bottom of my kitchen trash bin, one in my laundry hamper and one inside my car. The odor was taken away in all 3 areas."
  • "I use these in my cars and some vehicles at work... 2 of these in there and it took the smell right out."
  • "I put one of these in her cage at night and the next morning the smell was completely gone!"
  • "Had a very stinky garbage can from rotten food (stench eliminated), under my sink flooded and my whole house was smelling very strongly like mildew and moisture (stench eliminated when febreeze and regular baking powder couldn't do it)."
  • "I am a real estate agent and had a listing with a built-in refrig that had a very strong vitamin smell. I placed one of these balls inside. It took about a week and the smell is gone."
  • "I tossed one of these balls in my briefcase 2 months ago and it still smells delightful!"

Cons:

  • "These don’t really have a smell, which is fine, I feel like they worked at first but maybe fizzled put after a week or so."
  • "The bad odors still remain, though they are definitely subdued."
  • "Unfortunately, this product did not do what I thought it would. I purchased it for freshening a diaper pail. Not great at all! Does not mask hardly any smell."
  • "They do not work very well at all for odor elimination."
  • "But did nothing for absorbing the weird cat odor left by the previous owner of our home."
  • "It's a perfume bomb to COVER smells with a nasty chemical fragrance."
  • "I used 2 in a walk-in closet and they did nothing. Used 1 in a small closet and it did nothing. Waste of money and would not recommend."

Scent Strength

Pros:

  • "They smell amazing when you first open the package and then after that if you put them up to your nose you can still smell it."
  • "I love the way they smell. They smell like oxy clean laundry powder."
  • "The Orange fragrance is a breath of fresh air – literally."
  • "These orange balls pack a punch of freshness, keeping your drawers, shoes, and gym bag smelling as good as new."
  • "The scent is light and clean smelling."
  • "These ABSOLUTELY WORK! The fragrance is a little strong, but pleasant."
  • "The fragrance is a little strong, but pleasant. They smell fresh, like clean laundry."

Cons:

  • "The scent is overpowering!"
  • "The smell was so overwhelming and intense...and not a smell that you would want to be that grand."
  • "The scent in these balls is extremely strong. Much too strong for smaller kitchen drawers."
  • "If you are Sensitive to Smells this One is a Big No SUPER STRONG CHEMICAL SMELL!!"
  • "The smell of these balls however were so intense and chemical that neither my husband and I could stand them and threw them away after just one day of use!"
  • "Was not happy with this product...because of the horrible toxic Orange Smell."
  • "These are horrid an only effective if one was trying to deodorize a very small area like a bag or suitcase."

Environmental Impact

Pros:

  • "It's a natural, non-toxic solution that's safe to use around kids and pets."

Cons:

  • "Please forego the plastic containers and just use the soda in the cardboard box!! You’ll save $$ and it’s SO much better for the environment."
  • "As far as I can tell they are not refillable, which would be better than throwing these plastic balls out when they no longer work."
  • "Some folks had environmental concerns that it is too much plastic."
  • "These are ONE TIME USE! As in, non-refillable, and therefore, tossed into a landfill!"
  • "I’d rather just use the cardboard containers I feel like they do more."

Product Design

Pros:

  • "I expected them to be larger but small is actually nice because you can easily hide them."
  • "I love this little moisture absorption balls. Fits everywhere, perfect for small closets."
  • "Nice small inconspicuous containers that you can set around to absorb smells from rooms, fridge, freezer, car, just about anywhere."
  • "They have a nice aroma but I was expecting a stronger scent."
  • "These little spheres of freshness are like tiny superheroes fighting off even the most formidable stinks in our home."
  • "Surprisingly the cats don't mistake them for toys. They even look good."
  • "These little things pack a big punch for its size."

Cons:

  • "These are hard plastic and will melt....so they are useless for deodorizing a dryer."
  • "The only complaint I have with this seller is the picture shows them in a cardboard package and each air freshener is sealed individually...These came all in one bag and once the bag is opened they are all exposed to the air."
  • "They are also too large to easily fit into my shoes. I have to force them down into the toes."
  • "Product arrived with packaging fallen apart... They are also really big."
  • "They smell awesome but they are the size of a 50 cent piece or a Lil smaller than a golf ball."
  • "I just wish they weren’t orange. I would love if they were white and I could put a ton of them in a basket in the bathroom and they would be pretty."
  • "I like these, but are too big to fit in my Dyson stuck vacuum canister...It did fit in my Shark canister and I have some in closets, etc."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Great product! So helpful that they're now available as an even number for use in pairs of shoes."
  • "They really work and last quite a while. I have a pair in my work shoes that's still going after five months."
  • "Wonderful for cars, sport clothing, closets, bathrooms, anywhere you don't want odor and it doesn't have a scent I have reordered many times."
  • "A very economical solution for those who suffer from heavy foot odor."
  • "For their affordable price, it's a small price to pay for perpetually pleasant-smelling spaces."
  • "Great value for your money."
  • "I love that you get 6 in a pack too. Very convenient."

Cons:

  • "In a couple of weeks you just toss them out and replace them with new ones."
  • "I was very disappointed in this purchase... Also, only 30 days usage, just more landfill."
  • "They are a little expensive for no longer than they last but I just love the scent."
  • "I should have given 5 stars for that alone but it was too expensive."
  • "Also, '6 pack' means two 3 packs. I had to destroy one package to discover I don't like them, so I guess I am stuck with the other."
  • "These were just a waist of time and money."
  • "This was a waste of money! These didn’t do anything for my vehicle like it said."
