Review on 🐟 NuBall Salmon Creek by Josh Allen

I don't usually write reviews but I felt there were very few reviews on the product so I thought I'd focus on a review from an avid bowler's point of view and bowling enthusiast. I think it's important to reiterate, like many others, that this is a very overpriced food grade dehydrator. Folks it's not hard to put together as some say. There are 4 pieces of plastic, three of which can be seen in the picture. The black cylinder stands on a red leg and the dehydrator on a black one. In the middle of the red leg is a cup for catching oil. It is designed so that you can attach a cup holder to your foot, place the ball on the foot holder, cover the ball with a black piece, and then cover the entire assembly with a dehydrator. Just fuck. The price of this device is high in my opinion as it is made of ABS plastic and has a very basic thermocouple temperature controller. You'll find that the manufacturer has given it a patent number to highlight the absolute stupidity of US patent laws (again, this is just a dehydrator, not an anti-gravity device - how about adding that one switch, instead of wasting money on a patent attorney ?). It's on all the time, so be careful when you plug it in (the plug doesn't have a ground pin - it might throw a GFCI in my garage. Hmm). Now for the good news, this is a very effective product for revitalizing your bowling ball. I play two leagues a week and have a bowling spinner. A spinner doesn't seem to be enough to maintain modern coverage. Bowling ball manufacturers and professional shops always tell us to keep the ball very clean, but the coating will absorb oil. First I put my new ball in (about 3 months old) and it didn't sweat much. Not too much of a surprise, maybe less than 60 games on it, and it's a polished mother-of-pearl finish. Then I grabbed one of my favorite balls of all time that I've popped up at least 6 times and is probably about 7 seasons old at this point. The ball sweats out at least half a milliliter of oil in about half an hour. Other bowlers have told me that even at this low temperature, baking a ball releases the plasticizer in the ball. I'm no chemist but I've played bowling for a long time and to me what comes out of the ball and drips into the cup looks and feels the same as what covers your ball when it returns to the bowl after bowling. . I then baked my wife's and daughter's bowling balls (from different manufacturers, if that helps) and got similar results. More good news: Baking a ball on this machine puts performance back on the track. Balls designed to react on a slide spring back to life instantly, as does your more responsive ball down the center lane. All in all I think this machine is a bit overpriced but if you play 6+ games a week I think the cost is justified considering how much a similar treatment costs in a pro shop. Besides, it is convenient and saves time. I want to compare this to the Vertex Personal Bowling Ball Revivor. It's almost identical to this product, except the Vertex costs a little more. Vertex molded a single piece for the dehydrator, but it's the same concept. I really like this product but am wondering how well it will hold up as the dehydrator seems a bit cheap. Time will tell as to the durability of this product.
