Ultrasonic Cleaners? Thoughts?

[cacatman]

Do you guys use them or have an opinion about them?

I just bought a Smartclean Vision.5 ultrasonic cleaner for $80 shipped. It does fit x-metals.

Seems to do a good job judging by the residue left at the bottom from 4-5 pairs that weren't that dirty. It has an auto shutoff feature where it turns off after 5 mins. It also auto shuts off for 10 mins after every 5 full runs (perhaps due to overheating!!??).

Ultrasonic frequenxy is 45 khz

Internal dimensions 173 mm x 82 mm x 45 mm approximately

Haven't plucked up enough courage to put in custom jobs from @SouLFuLFroG, @zwc0442, @Wavecloud just in case I damage the coating somehow. Be interested in your thoughts.

I use mine alot. Most stuff goes in there before I work on it. Have gotten some absolutely nasty stuff in and ran it through mine turning the water black after a couple of minutes of running.

Awesome looking bit of kit there!

So far I’ve not needed one but have been thinking about it mostly for airbrush cleaning.

I used to use a huge industrial one years ago - it would turn rusty old lumps into perfect working parts again.

I love mine. Watches, jewellery, all kinds of stuff. But beware of screws. Sometimes the vibrations can loosen things, so keep an eye out for that.

I have one of these for cleaning hardware on my motorcycle. It works fantastic. If it works for dirty hardware I can imagine it would do a pretty good job on glasses. I think I paid $30 for mine

What kind of motorcycle

I've got a fatbob right now. I picked it up last year when I traded in my low rider.

I work at the Milwaukee Harley Engine plant so I can get a pretty good deal.

Motorcycle Thread?

I noticed that there is a bike (as in bicycle) thread, but no motorcycle thread. Anyone here ride? I have a 2008 ZX-6R SE with the usual mods.

Wouldn't recommend you put watch heads through this (bracelets on their own are fine) - otherwise you are risking water being forced through the seals and ultimately killing your watch.
