OK, thats deffo bigger than I was hoping.
@JurekB Ive read they can be quite underwhelming or at least over anticapated to be amazing wonder cleaners but I'm still quite interested.I really just want to know that my bike, and subsequent bikes and bits I am going to end up with, are clean af like new, better maybe. Obviously its the lubrication and maintenace after a clean that matters but yeah.
Its not really needed, don't race or own a shop or owt but really I have never had a super clean or new bike ever cos I always build off eBay.

I’ve found that the large metallic ones are useful for bike parts. Depending on the shape of the bowl, 3-5 litres is about the smallest you might want for cleaning chainrings and cassettes.
As an add-on to the above, if I put a container with liquid to float in an ultrasonic cleaner, will the cavitation effect still happen inside the container? If so, will it happen above the cleaner’s water line? And if so, could one put a chainring in a plastic bag with cleaning liquid, submerge it partially (vertically) in the cleaner, and expect it to clean more than the submerged bit?
