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.

  • 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

  • It eventually brings the ball up to temperature.
I ordered this from Amazon and it arrived promptly. The item was very easy to put together and I quickly was able to use it. Not quite trusting the heater, I first put in an older ball that I had. It was a Storm Optimus. I had used this ball for two season and had racked up one 300 and two 299s. The ball did have a balance hole so I was no longer able to use it for league play. I put it in the oven and set the temp for 135 degrees as per the instructions. After one hour the ball surface temps was only at 125 degrees per my laser temperature gun. I asked a question on Amazon and I was told by one member that it may take longer to get the desired results. He said one ball took 10 hours. Ok, so I put it back in the oven. While checking on it every 30 minutes or so, I found that it took 2 1/2 hours to reach 135 degrees. I noticed a very small amount of oil on the surface. At 3 1/2 hours I felt that any oil must have been removed at this point so I checked on the oven again. The ball surface was still at 135 degrees, BUT the ball had split almost around it's entire circumference. Total failure but it was a fairly old ball so I didn't lose much. Not to be discouraged I put in another ball that I very seldom use, a Tactix Track. Again it took over 2 hours to reach 135 degrees and I left the ball in for four hours. I then turned the oven off, as before, and waited for things to cool down. I did not notice any oil on the surface or below the ball. I had maybe 75 games on this ball and I do wipe it with a suede towel before each shot. Ok at least it did not seem to hurt the ball. Moving on I put in a Columbia 300 Swerve GT. I had maybe 90 games with this ball and again I use a Storm suede wipe before each shot. After four hours, no oil on the surface or below with a ball temperature of 135 degrees. Now I was pretty sure that the Storm Optimus ball cracking was a fluke so I put in my primary ball, a Hammer Scandal S. I checked on it after one hour, 124 degrees. Again it took 2 1/2 hour to reach 135 degrees. I left it in the oven for four hours and there was not a trace of oil on the ball surface or below it. The good news was it did not damage the ball. I had over 100 games with the Hammer but, as mentioned before, I do wipe all of the balls before each shot. I guess my opinion of the oven will be somewhat biased because I saw no oil extracted from four different balls. That might be because I do wipe my balls down before each shot or whatever. I have no reason for the Storm ball splitting (see photo) and thankfully it only happened on that single ball. I left each ball in the oven to cool down so I do not think the ball cooled too quickly. The oven was used in my house in Florida with the interior temp of 75 degrees. According to my laser temperature gun on the surface of the various balls the temperature control was accurate at 135 degrees but it always took over 2 hours to reach that ball temperature. Was the oven a good value for me...I don't think so. Perhaps by wiping the ball before each shot, the need to de-oil a ball is just not necessary on a regular basis. On the plus side, it only damaged one ball. On the negative side, I saw no improvement in the action of my other balls on the lanes. Knowing what I know now, the oven was not a good value for me. For someone that never wipes his ball down and bowls at a house with oily lanes, their experiences may be different than mine. I do advise anyone to first try the oven on an old ball to see if it is working properly. If this would have split my primary ball, my rating would have been zero. ... 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
