Description

Warms a bowling ball to a precise temperature (135 F) but not higher, so ball is not in danger. Ball rests on a specially designed stand inside the machine - the stand catches drips of oil for easy disposal. Heated air circulates so that rotating or turning the ball is not needed. Typical usage is 1 hour per ball. IMPORTANT NOTE... NuBall is built for 110V power only. If 220V is the power available, a converter is required which will handle up to 500W output.

  • Works
So simple to use and saves a few bucks each time. Normal “cooking” at the bowling center is $25, so this thing might take a year or more to pay for itself.

  • Lowest temperature setting 125 degrees. UPDATED REVIEW!
(Update 2/20/23) - I really wanted one of the NuBall so I decided to contact the company directly and they sent me one with the lower temperature thermostat that I wanted. Big thanks to SCBP for coming through. Also changing my star rating to 5. Opinions very so understand my review is just that. Oil can be removed at 85 degrees. The photo shows the the lowest temperature setting is 95 degrees which was close enough for me. Personally 115 degrees is the highest I would go on my equipment. I received mine today and found that the lowest setting is 125 degrees. If the product images had shown what they were shipping out I'd never had ordered the product. I hate the fact I have to return it for this reason. I used one that a bowling partner has and also has the lower temperature settings. They do work well and took no time at all to extract the oil at 100 degrees. This new version with the 125 degree minimum isn't a temperature that I personally want to subject my equipment to. Professional bowlers and Pro Shop owners have told me that it is possible to damage the cover stock at the higher recommended 135 temperature. My thought is why risk it when you can do the same thing without the risk? Also why oh why would you ever have the highest temperature setting at 185 degrees?!? Bump the knob (that is easy enough to turn) and your ball is damaged if you don't catch it. ... show more

  • Spendy product but effective results
I don't normally write reviews, but the reviews on the product seemed greatly lacking and thought I'd tackle the review from the point of view of an avid bowler and enthusiast for the game of bowling. I think it's important to point out again as many others have already that this is a very over-priced food dehydrator. Folks, this isn't difficult to put together as some people say. It's 4 plastic pieces, three of which you can see in the picture here. The black cylinder stands on top of the red foot piece and the dehydrator part sits on top of the black piece. There is a cup for collecting oil that sits centered in the red foot piece. It's designed to let you set the cup holder on the foot, place your ball on the foot holder, cover the ball with the black piece and then top the whole assembly with the dehydrator. Easy peasey. The price point is high for this unit in my opinion as it is only ABS plastic and a very simple thermocouple control knob for the temperature. You'll notice that the manufacturer has stamped a patent number on these to make sure to underline the absolute stupidity of U.S. patent laws (again, it's just a food dehydrator, not a anti-gravity device--how about adding a switch to these instead of wasting money on a patent attorney?). It's constantly switched on, so be careful plugging it in (no ground prong in the plug--tends to throw the GFCI in my garage...hmm). Now for the good news: this is a very effective product for reviving your bowling ball. I bowl in 2 leagues a week and have a bowling ball spinner. The spinner alone doesn't seem to be enough to maintain a modern coverstock. Bowling ball manufacturers and pro shops are always telling us to keep a ball super clean, but the coverstock is going to soak up oil. I put my newest ball (about 3 months old) in this first and it didn't sweat much. Not too much of a surprise, probably less than 60 games on it and it's a pearl finish with polish. Then I grabbed one of my all-time favorite balls that I've resurfaced at least 6 times and is probably about 7 seasons old at this point. The ball sweat at least half a milliliter of oil in about half an hour. I've had other bowlers tell me that baking a ball, even at low temps like this does, releases the plasticizer in the ball. I'm no chemist, but I have been bowling for a long time and to me, what came out of the ball and dripped into the cup looks and feels exactly like what covers your ball when it comes back in the ball return after bowling. I then baked my wife and daughter's bowling balls (from different manufacturers, if that's helpful) and had similar results. More good news: baking your ball in this machine DOES bring back lane performance. Balls that are designed for skid-flip reaction come right back to life, as do your more mid-lane reacting ball. All things considered, I consider this machine a bit over priced, but if you bowl more than 6 or so games a week, I think the cost can be justified considering what a similar treatment costs at the pro shop. Plus, it's convenient and saves time. I'd like to see this compared to the Vertex Personal Bowling Ball Revivor. It's virtually identical to that product except that the Vertex is slightly more money. Vertex molded a single piece for the dehydrator to sit on, but it's the exact same concept. I like this product quite a bit but I do wonder how well it will hold up as the dehydrator seems a bit cheap. Time will tell for the durability of this product. ... show more

  • Great Purchase
I was a little undecided about getting something like this, but my pro shop charges $25 and I have to travel almost 20 miles to get there. This will pay for itself in just a few months, including travel time and the high cost of gas. It's true that it's made with a lot of plastic, but with a little care, the plastic parts should not break. After testing it using an oven thermometer, I find the thermostat to be accurate. I set the thermostat for 135 degrees (the recommended temperature), and that's what the thermometer read after being on for about 1 hour. The machine really "sweats" a lot of oil out of the ball after just 1 hour, without damaging the ball. Just use a good citrus-based ball cleaner or other de-greasing cleaner to wipe the oil off (it'll take a couple of passes), and you're good to go. I look forward to many years of trouble-free operation from this machine. To date, I've used it 6 times and so far, so good. If I have any issues with this machine, I'll update my review. ... show more

  • It works very well
After about 60-70 games with my Motive Mythic Jackal I was feeling like the once aggressive ball was loosing it's "snap". I have done water baths in the past with some varying success and I also built an insulated box that is used with a hair dryer and an Alexa controlled smart plug to turn on/off the hair dryer to keep the temp regulated. That also worked, but was risky, loud, and a pain to setup. This NuBall heater is very simple to use and most importantly it's safe. The first day I used this ball when it was brand new I won over average on league night by throwing 267. The first game after using the NuBall heater I threw the front 10 for 287, followed up with 206 and 268 for a 761 series. Results may very obviously but if you want your equipment to throw like brand new, I would highly recommend this product. ... show more

  • Doea a great job removing excess oil from ball.
There is no temp control, its just on and off. There is no timer. I felt the item is slightly over priced. It does a great job. Leave the ball in for an hour and the oil is just coming off the ball. The cup on the bottom catches the excess.
