Review on Pack of 3 Downy Fabric Softener Dispenser Balls by Nelly Villanueva

Some people have complained that this ball only works with the Downey Ultra! I have to say I was skeptical that a company could design this detergent ball to only work with their brand (that would be an amazing feat). Certainly not a problem with the brand I use. I use a laundry that doesn't have automatic dispensers. I do up to 6 downloads at a time so I bought 6 Downy Balls. So far every ball has been correctly opened and distributed every time. If your Downey Ball isn't metering properly, you may have overloaded the machine (that's just my guess). UPDATE: It is now mid-August 2014 and Downey Balls are working perfectly with every load of multi-brand fabric softener.
