[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The downy comfy cozy in-wash laundry scent booster beads, toasted vanilla scent, are phenomenal. They’ve got such great packaging and work so well.

Notice how all of the positive reviews are from people who received this as a promotion. I personally don’t smell vanilla or notice much of a scent remaining after washing. Swing and a miss in my opinion.

NOT good. There is a lighter color bead in this mixture that literally feels and looks like wax. These beads in the mixture do not dissolve in my speed queen and leaves a nasty residue and "goop" just gross!
1 reply from Downy team - 14 days ago
We're sorry to learn your Downy Comfy Cozy +Toasted Vanilla Scented In Wash Scent Booster Beads didn't work out for you as we both expect, Mel. Our Quality Team assures us that every bead meets our high expectations, so we always expect every one of them will blend with the water in your machine and leave nothing behind except a warm, lovely vanilla scent on the garment. It may help to know that adding the beads to the washing machine after the wash has started leads to the product not getting enough time in the water to dissolve. Make sure you add them before the wash starts. Take care not to overload the washing machine with too large of a load, as this could also lead to what you’ve described. If you have residue on garments, rewash them in warm water without adding beads. (Always follow care tag label instructions for suggested water temperature.) Need further help? Give us a call. 1 (800) 688-7638 M-F: 9 AM to 6 PM, EST S-S: 9 AM to 5:30 PM, EST

This does not make the clothes smell like vanilla and leaves a bit of a residue on the clothes.
1 reply from Downy team - 18 days ago
We're disappointed to hear this. With the extensive quality tests Downy products undergo, this isn't the experience we expect. Be sure to not overfill your washer, as room is needed for these beads to fully dissolve and release their scent. So we can learn more, we ask that you please give our team when you have a moment. You can reach us at (800) 688-7638.

I liked the smell however; it stained my clothes with small little dots from the beads I’m guessing.
1 reply from Downy team - 22 days ago

Our Downy is put through many quality checks to provide you with the best laundry experience, and appreciate you sharing that it left some residue on your clothes. This can be a result of overloading your washer, and we recommend ensuring to not overload your washer to allow enough room for the scent beads to move around and dissolve.

We'd like to learn more about your experience, and would appreciate you giving us a call at (800) 688-7638.

Angelica - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
Like other reviews mentioned it lacks scent, I read reviews after I purchased it so up the amount of beads hoping I’d get a smell and there was no smell.
1 reply from Downy team - 1 month ago
Thanks, Angelica, for sharing your thoughts regarding your Downy Comfy Cozy + Tasted Vanilla In Wash Scent Booster Beads. Our Quality Team assures us that all of our Scent Beads are carefully crafted, and checked throughout the manufacturing process, making sure everything is as it should be when you bring it to your home. The scent should be noticeable even after drying.Be sure you add the scent beads to the washer drum before the machine starts, so they’ll have enough time to dissolve, allowing the scent enough time to penetrate into your fabrics. Be sure there is plenty of room for your laundry to circulate freely. Don’t overload your washer, even if it’s a super- capacity machine. Not only can it prevent the beads from dissolving or penetrating into your fabrics, it may prevent your laundry from getting clean. If you’d like more help with this, please reach out to us at your convenience. 1 (800) 688-7638 Monday through Friday, 9 AM - 6 PM, EST Saturday and Sunday, 9 AM - 5:30 PM, EST

These didn't have much of a scent to them and they did not dissolve well. I used them in two loads of bedding and now my sheets are stained with dark blotches. I haven't had this problem with other scents. I would pass on getting these.

Downy Comfy Cozy + Toasted Vanilla In-Wash Scent Booster Beads are a great way to add not only a lovely, light fragrance to your laundry, but a wonderful soft touch, too. Thanks to the hard work of our Quality Team, we’re confident that when the Beads are added first, before the garments, and the drum isn’t overloaded, you’ll not experience the results you’ve shared with us. Please, rewash the garments that have spots again at the highest temperature allowed by the care label. Do not add more beads. Call us for a hand with this, as we’re always pleased to help. We’re here daily, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. Saturday and Sundays, we end the day at 5:30 PM, EST. Call us at 1 (800) 688-7638.

Sneakers101 - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
I took a chance trying this bc I loved the scent!! I'm not a fan of mountain fresh rain type scents. This is a 'warm' scent with a hint of sweetness. This isn't just a scent booster to go with your detergent, but has a softening agent too, so u don't use any additional fabric softener. This is added into the water as it's filling the drum with your detergent. I have done several loads and just love smelling the clothes and bedsheets out of the dryer. I've been using Downy Calm lavender n Vanilla and have been browsing new different scents out of boredom I guess lol. This Toasted Vanilla hit the spot! I haven't seen any residue left on the clothes as I read about in reviews, so the pellets have all thoroughly dissolved for me. The price is a lot tho for the amount u get as it goes quick if u do larger loads like me. I'll only buy it when it's on sale, and stock up then.

CatLady - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
This product has a smell in the bottle, but after putting a full running over capful in my laundry, I did not smell a thing as I put the clothing into the dryer. I use only unscented Tide detergent when I use scent beads so I can get the full effect of the fragrance. I am super disappointed and wish I had read reviews before i purchased this. What a waste of money. This brand has never disappointed me before. Some scents have been mild but never nonexistant like this one is.

We're very sorry to hear that Downy Comfy Cozy + Toasted Vanilla Laundry Beads didn't leave a scent on your laundry. Our products go through extensive checks to ensure they bring you excellent results, so this isn't something we would expect. The lack of scent could be caused by the product being exposed to extreme heat or cold. For best results, we always recommend storing the product in a cool, dry place. We would love to learn more about the bottle to share with our Quality Team to see how we can help make this right for you. For assistance, please give us a call at (800) 688-7638.

dogchick - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
This bottle is labeled and priced as a 25.6 ounce bottle. However it is the same size as the 18.1 ounce bottles in the light scents. I just poured it into one of my empty 25 ounce bottles and it only filled it 3/4. This is outrageous!!

Thank you for leaving a review! We're really sorry to hear that you're unhappy with your purchase, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Please know that our Downy scent beads are filled by weight, not volume, and our products go through many quality checks to ensure the amount stated on the package is the amount inside. The bottles are not designed to be filled to the top, so the bottle may not appear to be full as space needs to be left for product to settle. Our team would like to learn more about your experience to be able to assist you further; please give us a call at (800) 688-7638, any time from 9:00AM-6PM EST Monday-Friday or 9:00 AM-5:30 PM EST Saturday, so we can help!

We're sorry to hear the scent of your Toasted Vanilla Beads was not strong enough! Our team thoroughly tests our products to ensure they work well in your home. Please know as our scent beads are a fabric enhancer, you can use as much or as little as you'd like. If you are not getting enough scent, feel free to use more! Nonetheless, this is not a situation we’d expect and we’d like to learn more about your experience to share with our Quality Team When you have a moment, please give us a call at (800) 688-7638 Monday-Friday 9 AM - 6 PM EST.
