5.0 out of 5 stars This thing is A M A Z I N G, May 17, 2009

I read all the reviews before purchasing and I was a little worried about what I was going to get for under $20.

I can assure you that what I got is something amazing. As other reviewers said, it doesn't do much in just plain water. But, if you add a few drops of dishwasher soap and warm water....WOW!!!

It cleaned up my wife's diamond ring and earrings so that they looked like we just bought them that day from the jeweler. Maybe even better if that is possible!

I was so addicted to seeing things come out cleaner than I can ever remember that I then threw pretty much anything in the house that would fit into the thing with surprising results every time: Keys, glasses, watches, pocket knives, coins, letter opener, cellphone (just kidding) etc. After I was done with all that, I took it to my family's houses and cleaned everything in their houses that would fit! Unbelievable results again every time. After everyone stopped making fun of me for being a male obsessed with cleaning women's jewelry, I decided to write this ridiculously positive review.

There is NO WAY jewelry can get any cleaner than after a few cycles in this thing with soap and warm water. Don't waste your money on a more expensive unit (as I almost did).

The only thing I can't speak to is reliability. Since I just got the thing a few days ago I am not sure how it will hold up. It feels like good quality but who knows about the electronics. I will update this review if/when the thing stops working. But even if it gives me a year of use its still way cheaper than most the other alternatives that had decent reviews.

So far so AMAZING!

And most importantly:
***DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME USING THIS THING WITHOUT A FEW DROPS OF SOME KIND OF GENTLE DETERGENT OR PRODUCT MADE FOR CLEANING JEWELRY***

4.0 out of 5 stars Good machine but wait for sale, February 16, 2008

This machine has worked great in cleaning up some used jewelry I bought online. I used it with a commercial jewelry cleaner liquid soap, so that might help with effectiveness. I was pretty amazed in how well it cleaned out the tight undergallery of a tanzanite ring - the stones were a completely different color (darker and better) than before the cleaning and actually sparkled again. Just one three-minute cycle seems to do the trick but for really gunky undergalleries more cycles are likely needed.

I was able to find this cleaner new on Amazon for $18 - if there aren't any available at that price now, I recommend waiting to see if that price will be posted again.

I would NOT use this machine with fine pave settings or cheaply crafted prong settings because it knocked out a diamond baguette in one of my other rings (not high quality) on the first cleaning. Fortunately, whatever it knocks out settles to the bottom of the stainless steel compartment. I also would not use it for glued inlays (e.g., some black opal rings).

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Sonic Cleaner, August 23, 2007

By 

juliegirl (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This cleaner keeps all my jewelry sparkling like new. When you have a very dirty ring it takes a few cycles and even a toothbrush to clean it for the FIRST time. This cleaner will maintain your clean ring. I use it daily and all my rings look like new. It also helps to change the water and clean the cleaner out with a dry towel depending on how much you use it. I clean mine once a month or whenever the water gets dirty. And that is the point, the water is dirty, and therefore the cleaner is working. If you need extra cleaning power put a drop of dish soap in the cleaner. This is an incredible price as well.
