"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
If I was to ever purchase another electric dryer, new or used, my choices would be:1) M&R Radicure (forced air, can do wb/discharge, built like a tank)2) Hix NPII (forced air, can do wb/discharge, built like a...humvee)3) Ranar Turbo Jetstar (forced air, can do wb/discharge, built like a Jeep)I've honestly never been impressed with the Vastex stuff.
Oh yeah forgot that as well, no 3 phase! I cant wait to move but we just signed a 2 year lease a few months ago.

I cant wait to move but we just signed a 2 year lease a few months ago.I just sold my ancient Ranar Turbo Jetstar. It was 24" x 8', 27 amps. It could handle discharge, albeit slowly.I helped the dude that I sold my press to install a larger, newer version of the same dryer. 36" x 8', about 35 amps (maybe 40?) single phase. They are really, really nice for the price and built solid. I would take a long look at one if you are doing occasional discharge work. I mentioned the Heatwave for several reasons:1) Gas rules over pretty much any electric dryer.2) It can run on a single 20 amp 120v circuit and minimum gas service, or an on-site propane tank.3) You can take it with you to the next location and not worry about further upgrades for awhile4) It will pay for itself in a couple years of electric bills.
