Well I've been wanting something of this sort for some time now, but nearly all were overpriced for what they were. I recently saw a YouTube video about this gadget and I was mesmerized! So I just ordered one about 10 minutes ago. Want do you all think?
 
This is a link to the product.

You may want to do a forum search as we have had several recent threads on annealing. Not having one I can't comment. However, it should serve you well. Some guys have added small regulators to the tank. This thread has an example of the regulator.

I recently Purchases a Sagebrush annealer. . after research most annealers on the market all work Great and there Video show cases running well. but there all rimless. 223, 308, 30/06 . When asked about Large rim Cases and Older Black powder cases . There answers became very confusing. . I found on the more expensive Machines . rim height might be a problem.
The sagebrush is a Turntable . with minor adjustments.
This machine was not Real cheap. but served my needs . I have recently annealed. 11x59 r french gras, 25/20, and 43 spanish. .
I would recommend any person buying one . do your research. . The video are great but in the real world thing could be different
. Here is a photo

The Annealeez does look pretty cool, I like the hopper idea, rather than individual feed. I've got one of the Ken Lights, which was one of the 1st machines to come out:

It will do .22 Hornet to .50 CAL as long as you get the correct wheel. I use it for everything from .223 (pictured) to .45-100(2.6"). For the rimmed cartridges, you just load them from underneath, rather than drop them in. One cool feature is the wheel gets filled with water and acts as a heat sink protecting the shell base, and also warms the brass up prior to annealing. One bad feature is the wheels are extra $$$$

I've had mine now for about 15 years without an issue.

Just ordered an Annealeez. Thanks for posting this. Been looking for something like this that is affordable. They are selling a bunch of them. He said it would be 15 to 20 working days before he would have one to ship.
 
Mine works great. Easy set up, easy to use. Great service from them also..
 
The cost of the machines and price of conversions were what lead me to build my own, that doesn't require any extra parts to go from the smallest cases up to 50 bmg and has no problems with rimmed cases.
