> 3 dayI like that I can clean my rings at home and not take them to a jewelry store. I do wish that it was a little smaller just because I don’t have much storage at my house.

> 3 dayI bought this April 1, 2022. It just died today, April 17, 2023. A little over a year of service at weekly intervals. With the right compound, it does a fantastic job of clearing the crud and dead skin cells out of my watches. It died after a year, but for the price, who cares? Ill buy another one and consider them disposable.

Greater than one weekI have used industrial ultrasonic cleaners for a couple of decades when I worked in R&D labs, but never had a home unit. Browsed these units on Amazon and selected this one due to the good reviews. It came today and I gave it a real challenge. I had a felt tip marker that uses fountain pen ink that had dried up a year or two ago and had not been cleaned out until last weekend. The ink (Noodlers Kung Te-Cheng) was like blue tar and it took many rinsings and soakings in pen flush and warm water to remove it from the open barrel. The grip section has numerous fins inside that control the ink flow to the replaceable felt tip. No way to flush this out, but I had soaked it in pen flush for some days, and even a bleach solution to no effect. Since the grip is clear I could see what was happening to it in the Magnasonic. Put a cup of warm water with a squirt of ammonia and Dawn detergent into the bath and in went the pen section. Wow! a cloud of ink came out big time. A couple of minutes the 8oz water was deep blue. Replaced the cleaning solution and the pen section was cleaner. Repeated two or three times and finally I got all the ink out of the section. Could never have gotten all the ink out without an ultrasonic cleaner. Then, just to see, I dropped the replaceable felt tip into the solution. This consists of a plastic holder that fits snugly into the grip, a tiny felt bullet tip and a 1 inch long tiny tube (1/16 inch diameter). It was filled with dried ink. Well, the tiny tip floated in the solution and blue ink boiled out of both ends. A few minutes and it was completely cleaned of ink! So in went a fountain pen nib/feed/grip section that had been well cleaned out with pen flush using an ear syringe until no more ink residue came out. But, in the Magnasonic a gray cloud erupted from both ends of the section and continued for a couple of minutes and stopped. Now this pen section was cleaned to normal standards, but the Magnasonic removed all the minute residue from the nib and feed which would have been important if I had wanted to use a lighter color ink in it. Then I cleaned a gold ring with a sardonyx intaglio cut stone. The back of the ring under the stone is open and collects body oils. Immediately a cloud came out of the ring and in a minute it was clean. In went a pair of eyeglasses (Dawn detergent only, no ammonia just to be on the safe side). A cloud came out from the nose pieces. In a minute I rinsed them off and wiped them with a clean microfiber cloth. Beautifully cleaned. I am amazed at how well this machine cleans. I got the Blitz cleaner but have not used it, saving it for jewelry. Remember, this machine WILL NOT POLISH OR REMOVE TARNISH. But it cleans off dirt, oil grease, and residue wonderfully well, getting deep into micro crevices. The instructions say to start with water, but water will only remove loose stuff. Several drops of dishwasher detergent will remove all kinds of gunk. I am glad I got this Magnasonic Ultrasonic Cleaner. I wish the lid came off as I like to watch the cleaning action and you only need it on to keep the chamber clean. I rinsed and dried it before I put the machine away. Easy to use, one button starts, one button stops, one lets you cycle through 180, 280, 380, 480, and 90 second cleaning cycles. The stop button lets you stop and restart the cycle you were using. When unplugged it will reset to 180 seconds the next time it is plugged in. Nice basket and a watch band fixture to clean WATER PROOF watches (not water resistant). I also cleaned my small Victorinox Swiss Army knife in it to get the pocket lint, etc. out.
