Looking for an inexpensive flash dryer to curing screen printed t-shirts. I don't want to spend a lot of money, but want a decent end result. Pros-Cons. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Is this flash dryer going to be for running a printing business or a hobby? If your using a flash for curing your shirt you have to remember this will take longer then using a conveyor and depending on the size of the print, if your design is bigger than your flash then you will have to move it around to cover all areas. Also, remember flash dryers don't hold the same temperature all around. It will be hotter in the middle then on the putter portion and if for example you are using plastisol your printed portions must all reach a temperature of at least 320 degrees.

Bigger is better, and a heat controller doesn't hurt if you're using it to flash and not cure.
Get at least an 18" flash.

Personally I'd avoid the coil type heating elements. And I'd look for used major brand as opposed the new/less expensive brand X if money is really a big issue.

AND, look at how the base is made. Poor design can result in a base that tends to tip over.
