Ultrasonic cleaner advice?

[TylerD]

I want to get one, but I really don't want to set it every 3 minutes.
What do you guys think of this?
Thinking of picking one up this afternoon.

Reliable and can recommend - manufactured by the same guys as the 4.5L one we use if I'm not mistaken:

Looks like one can set it up to 30 minutes? Like the look of this one.

Yes, and I think it's quite a good price for one like this. Can heat and have a 30 min timer. I like it.

Yeah it works great. I use mine for everything beside steeping juices. Cleans jewlery/glasses/cutlery/mech mods/attys really well. The Only gripe I have with mine is the 8min timer

If an ultrasonic cleaner doesn't make a noise, whether plastic or stainless steel, its broken!

True, Wouldn't the cleaners with the plastic exterior do a decent job of noise dampening ?

Depends on mass of the plastic and the size (Watts) of ultrasonic transducers. The smaller the transducers (Watts) and thicker the plastic, obviously the quieter.

This looks real nice. I'm curious and tempted..

That is the problem with this forum - one gets curious and tempted all the time until all resistance crumbles.

 

[johan]

If and when you buy an ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning and/or steeping purposes, you don't need to buy a large unit (bath size), but try and buy the highest wattage you can afford.

 

[Mike]

@johan considering the ones the chaps were getting from the optometrist contact, for a couple of hundred bucks more, this seems like a killer deal. I personally really like that it heats as well.

@VandaL, clearly I was wrong :| Was the one from goptics as big as 2.5L?

Yessir, http://goptics.co.za/?page_id=2406

There is one major flaw(least to me) maximum timer is 480s (8mins)

Mind screencapping for me? Doesn't matter if I try to access it via Chrome or FF.

Here you go - powerful unit this one.

 

[Mike]

Thanks folks. What was the retail for this guy? I vaguely remember in the R1500 region?

 

[TylerD]

I picked mine up this afternoon.
Feels nice and solid!
Now, how do I use it......
How do you guys use yours?

 

[Tom]

I strip my gear and dump it in, with a drop of dishwashing liquid. That's it. Btw, why do you guys want long cleaning cycles? Mine does only 3min at a time. I run mostly one cycle, maybe a second one. More clean then clean is not possible.....
