Watch some of the videos and look at the pictures. It works... believe me. You're primarily limited by the size container for the electrolyte. The beautiful part is that you can connect a battery charger or other power source and walk away. No need to be there as it works. Depending on the size and shape of the part you might need to turn or reposition it a few times but much less effort overall than blasting. It removes paint as well as rust. Part cleanup after the removal involves cold water and compressed air. Very simple.

This guy spent some time setting up the electrolyte and steel electrodes, which isn't necessary for good results, but the article is good and the pictures are clear.

Notice in this image the detail available after cleanup. You can see a manufacturer's mark stamped in this part.
