Hello bowling family,
I need to know what is the best bowling ball revivor i can get for my personal use. I figure it would be cheaper to get my own and do it myself instead of paying the proshop every 60+ games. Would this one do or is it a better one out there http://www.bowlingball.com/products/accessories/vertex/11320/personal-bowling-ball-revivor.html
Thank for all sugestions ahead of time

I prefer this one, called NuBall:

I have one and know it works well, properly and consistently.
I know the designer/owner and each unit is tested to insure the temperature is accurate within a few degrees. Also discounts are available to students and seniors as well as to pro shops; contact the company thru their own website.

+ 1; like Jeff, I bought a Nu Ball unit and strongly recommend it. Some posters have DIY units, but I have never been handy enough to make one. Buy a Nu Ball unit. You will be glad that you did.

I have used both in my shop and they both work equally well. Both will do what you want so for personal use I would pick the less expensive of the 2.

Build your own just like these for less than $100. Really super easy to do, and they work GREAT. I've posted pictures of mine on BR before, as have others.

Once again, may I strongly suggest one be very cautious about the temperature range for any device you use. Bowling balls can be very sensitive to that. Most gauges that come with dehydrators are worth a bleep and can have huge variances.

I'm not convinced the risk is worth the reward. I clean and adjust all my stuff on a spinner and never had a ball lose it's performance.

I totally agree with this, and that is why I also use a digital thermometer with mine so I can accurately set and monitor the temperature. Usually run it at 130-132 and have never had any problems.

Depending on the brand of the ball, 130 - 132 degrees voids the warranty.
Motiv, Radical, DV8 and Brunswick all state in their warranty that a ball is void of warranty if it is exposed to temperatures above 125 degrees.
Make sure you know what your device operating temperature is and what the manufacturer recommends.

I have had the NuBall for 3 years and it works great. Is very accurate (tested it with a digital temp.). I believe when I bought it I believe it came with a two year warranty, not sure what the warranty is on the Vextex unit.
I recommend NuBall. It will do a good job for what it is designed to do.
