Works great to dry brass
I use this for drying range brass I rinse off after a rain storm or for after the ultrasonic cleaning stage of brass prep. Much like a standard dehydrator, but the heated function helps speed up and ensure a thorough process.
Platinum Series Brass Dryer
An On/Off switch would've been a nice feature, rather than just plugging it in to an outlet.
For the price, though, it's good enough.

Does the job of drying
Does the job. Dried around 200 .223 and 125 of 6.5CM in about 80 minutes. Heat didn’t seem to be an issue. Plastic could be a bit heavier duty but for the sales price, not complaining.
Pros:
- convenience
Cons:
- Durability
Best Used for:
- Recycled brass
Would recommend: Yes

It Works as Advertised
I recently burned out my second dry tumbler. The first one lasted about 5 years, the second one about 3 years. After a little reading and discussion with more knowledgeable reloaders, I decided to give wet tumbling a shot. I’ll review the wet tumbler elsewhere.
The dryer worked exactly as advertised. About an hour at 160 degrees and all of the brass was dry. I did rotate the top two trays to the bottom after about 30 minutes, as recommended. My only complaint is that, while the trays do stack neatly, it is a little tricky getting them to align properly. Some sort of alignment tabs would be a welcome addition. But once they are aligned, it works perfectly.

Works great
I have been using this for a long time. Works great to dry brass. The unit has 5 shelves to lay on to dry, and after 1 hour or less on 160 degrees, it was dry. I would recommend these for anyone wanting to dry brass.

Great drier I have 2
I have 2 of these and they are great. I use 1 at my sons house and 1 at my house. I would recommend these for anyone wanting to dry brass. The one thing that is odd they have no off and on switch. When you plug it in it's on. I use a timer with mine. When this is used with the water tumbler the brass will look brand new.
Would recommend: Yes

Happiness is warm brass
Got the unit and couldn't wait to see how good it was. Had some 223, 40 cal, 9mm, and 38 special case that I had to tumble. Then put each caliber on a different shelf set it at 160 temp and turned on for 1 hour. Brass came out dry and not spots. I am very pleased.
Pros:
- Works great
Cons:
- needs longer cord
Would recommend: Yes

Great Dryer
I have been using this for a week now and it's a great addition to my wet tumbler. It dries in about an hour and a half. I can dry a thousand 223's and even more pistol rounds. I would recommend this to anyone that reloads and needs to dry brass.

Great for drying tumbled brass ..
Received this at the same time I order the Frankford Tumbler for cleaning brass. It really helps the drying process and handles a lot of brass. Also the wife is happier as it keeps the brass out of the oven. LOL! The only downside is that it doesn't have any type of fan or blower to circulate the air which I think would speed the drying time however that's not a major concern.
Would recommend: Yes

This was a great buy.
I bought a roller, wet, drum brass washing unit. This was the perfect complement. The five separate trays lets me spread out the brass so I can maximize the air flow. I heard that drying brass in the oven will discolor the brass, so I use the lowest heat setting (90). I have checked to see how quickly the brass is dry; I let the unit run an hour and then unplug it and let the brass sit. I popped out the primer to make sure the primer pocket was dry, and it was. For competition brass, I decap the brass before tumbling and 30 minutes in the dryer seems to be enough.
Would recommend: Yes
