I will be really curious to see how this works out! I really need a good parts washer... doesn't need to be BIG, but I'd like to be able to just plonk stuff in it and come back a few hours later.
How are the fumes? Is the stuff your heating a solvent-based cleaner?
I'd really like to make something like this, once someone like you does all the experimenting and perfects it. My biggest concerns with heating & air agitation are fumes and fire risk. I guess a water-based cleaner would take care of that issue

I can't really say how good it worked, but the memory sticks in my head as something I always wanted to try.

I've read about that before... maybe you posted it in another thread at some point.
I wonder if there'd be some way to use a washing machine... if you put a rack inside so the parts didn't move but the water/cleaner sloshed around them. Maybe with an additional pump spraying over top. Just use the wash & rinse cycles with the in & out pipes going to a tank of cleaner mix
