  • Anyone have any experience of cheapo (£20 or so) ultrasonic cleaners? Do they actually work? Mainly for stuff like spectacles, watch bracelets, etc?

    Thinking of this one maybe which looks convenient but may also be shit https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FH7VWDT/

  • I had one which came through the till at around £120.00
    I recently gave it away as it had proved to be a disappointment.
    Disappoinment =Failure to clean stuff.
    G'luck with the 20 quid jobbee.

  • I've got a £12 Aldi special from around ten years ago.
    It does none of the things claimed on the box. Not one.
    However, it's quite good for small parts in a jam jar of solvent (with the lid on, to contain the vapours) sitting in the water bath - absolutely against all the safety warnings on the box.
    Carburetor parts in IPA seems to be the main thing I use it for, which may be the only reason I've not thrown it out of the nearest window.
    Edit: IPA = isopropyl alcohol, not India Pale Ale.
