Bought this for $39.99 last year to clean my dental aligners, and it works pretty good. This product has stayed in my Amazon wishlist since then and I have never seen it drop below $39.99 in price until today, so yeah, looks like a banger deal if you're in need of one.
CamelCamelCamel.
These are used by jewellers to clean jewellery. They used not to be available as a normal consumer product. You can use them to clean all kinds of thing, even dental orthotics.
But do not put soft stones in them (diamonds are ok if they aren't occluded) nor watches (not even waterproof ones - the vibrations force water through the seals)
It has a metal interior which is better than all the plastic ones that will not do anything
If you have tennis elbow pain, just pop your elbow in the water and turn on for about 65mins 😁 (a physiotherapist's ultrasound is about 1-3Mhz)
Hope you're not serious about 65 minutes.
Not sure about smaller devices like this. In a proper ultrasound cleaner, if you keep your fingertips for even 2 minutes, you'll regret it for a few days.
Cavitation inside your body is not fun.
No I'm not serious. The dosage might be roughly correct at 65mins but yes, the concentration of ultrasound waves on bone would be very painful. But then again, at 45Khz, the frequency may actually be low enough not to cause pain.
Is it dangerous to put your fingers in? Works well to clean dirt stuck under fingernails
I got curious and stuck my fingers in while mine was running and I could hardly feel a thing actually. No damage done at all.
Do keep in mind that mine is just a small 500ml cleaner and I didn't keep my fingers submerged for an extended amount of time so YMMV. Safety comes first!
@anonym: The ultrasound frequency is not high enough to cause any damage. Infact it's much lower than diagnostic ultrasound frequencies.
Nice find OP!
So many fake ultrasonic cleaners online. Does it pass the aluminium foil test?
That's what I was inferring.
No, you were implying. The two words have opposite meanings. Like itch and scratch.
Realistically, if I wanted to get one that works well and isn't just manufactured eWaste, I'd look to buy a Vevor one. A mate of mine has the 30L one to clean all manner of things from his glasses up to car parts.
Mine has been used on a daily basis since July last year, so I'd say it's fairly reliable.
Cleaned my injectors out great. Use it only for car parts
That's like $330, not even remotely close in price to this
I didn't say that anyone had to buy the 30L one, I was just sharing my experience with them. You can get a much smaller one for a lot cheaper than that.
Got a record cleaner from them (Vevor). Very happy with it, especially for the price.
I got a Vevor 2L one for around $55. Only regret is not going for a bigger/wider one. Cleans all sorts of stuff.
For $20 I'll give it a crack
Oos
still available for $59.99
And its gone…
Showing as $59 for me.
59.99?
At this price point, these are mostly fake with a vibrator motor inside to give the 'illusion' of vibration and miniature waves….
Opened one up with the kids for science… salvaged the little vibrator motor, the lipo battery and the controller before throwing the useless thing out.
I suspect this is a real one.. I have a proper ultrasound cleaner and I've had a fake vibratory thingy I got as a gift that I never used too (saw the motor like you said).
Then I saw one of my mates cleaning his spectacles in one of the mini ultrasonic cleaners. I thought it was fake till I saw it running.
The lipo battery should've given it away then.
I paid $30 I think for an ALDI one a couple of years ago and it's bloody brilliant to clean parts. Sometimes I have to flip things and run the cycle again cause it's only small, but there's definitely real ones at a cheap price point
I have this and it works really well cleaning stuff. Jewelery, toothbrush heads. Use it everyday.
Do you add a cleaning agent or detergent?
Just water will do unless you need to tackle something oily. For my aligners I usually just brush it down with toothpaste as I brush my teeth, rinse, and then toss it into the ultrasonic cleaner to remove any build up stuck in its crevices.
Arrived this morning. First impressions good - metal basket, AC powered. Tried the aluminium foil test. It leaves both large and small holes in the foil after running it.
Pretty confident it's a real ultrasonic cleaner. Great deal for the price, thanks OP.
I might buy one now just to check it out now ;)
I got mine yesterday. Chucked the missus' glasses in it and you should have seen the filth coming off them
$29.99 now
Now seems the normal price is $29.99
Is this actually going to do anything costing $20 or will it just be land fill?
