5.0 out of 5 stars
If you have bling get one of these, September 25, 2007
This review is from: Ultrasonic Cleaner- Black (Electronics)
My (now) husband bought me one of these for Xmas last year. At first I thought there's no way this thing would work but after using it for a few months I can honestly say this thing was worth every penny!! I put my wedding ring (eternity band) and engagement ring in this once a week and it cleans out all the hand lotion and debris that gets stuck under the stone.
Since I never take my rings off when I wash my hands at work I also get a buildup of soap in my rings after a few days and this cleaner takes it all out.
The highest setting is 8 minutes which is good but to get all the junk out I usually put it in for 3 cycles of 8 min which is easy since I normally do it when I'm cooking or reading.
The only thing that isn't so great is that it makes a weird buzzing noise while cleaning but otherwise I totally recommend it.

Probably should have bought the cheaper one, April 22, 2008
This review is from: Ultrasonic Cleaner- Black (Electronics)
I bought this for $45, and I think I should have bought the cheaper one. I read the reviews for both, and I think this performed just as well as the reviews for the cheaper model said these things do.
Results:
Citizen EcoDrive: 5 years old, Stainless Steel and gold tones, WR 100. I used the watch holder that came with the unit, and found that it cleaned the parts that were under water pretty well. Then I became adventurous and put the whole thing under water. So far, I don't think it hurt my watch, and it looks pretty shiny after wiping off the water.
Dirty pennies: Didn't work out so well. It was neat to see the initial puff of dirt that rose to the surface of the water, but I didn't see shiny, new pennies afterward. Perhaps water couldn't remove the ravages of chemical reactions and old age.
Antique watch band: This was a 1920s or 1940s ladies watch that I bought at a flea market. Bulova, 10-12K gold filled. I took the watch mechanics out and placed the bracelet and glass face in the water. The waves were so strong that they shook the glass face out of the bracelet. That was upsetting.
Fossil Sunglasses: Someone left a pair of sunglasses at my house, so I cleaned them. They look clean. This seems better than wiping them since you could just be moving the dirt around and not removing it.
That's all I've cleaned so far. So basically, it works pretty well on younger pieces with loose dirt. The older and more compact the dirt becomes, the harder it is to remove (which is understandable).

Jewelry, glasses, CDs, and DVDs, March 24, 2008
This review is from: Ultrasonic Cleaner- Black (Electronics)
I bought this for my fiance as a Christmas gift for her engagement ring. It became an immediate hit with the ladies cleaning their jewelry and glasses. It's kinda fun to watch the gunk and film just seem to float off the stuff. It can also be used for CDs and DVDs. We were having problems with a rental DVD until we put it in the cleaner and it played without a hitch after that!
