In regard to The Dehydrator/Rice cooker type ball deoilers like this:
While I don't have one I made my own years ago, It's based on a old Magic Chef dehydrator and a bucket. The Nu-ball and innovated ones are well reviewed I haven't seen any reviews that said anything particularly bad about them. If you do a do forum search there are several threads about them, most have considered them worth the money.
diy ones are popular also.
As for de-oiling a ball, If you religiously clean your equipment you can almost eliminate the need to de-oil a ball. But A lot depends on the conditions you bowl on the most and coverstock used, so the number of games can vary.
