Theyre great for prickly nuggets... gets all nooks and crannies clean as. :goldnugget:
not so good for crusty, oxidised coins.

We have two, an aldi and a jacar. Both work fine and i couldn't seperate them performance wise. Don't expect miracles. They clean the dirt and crap out great but won't move ironstone or quarts.

I have a commercial one used often used in Dental sugary's. Great on a Dirty ring and or a Dirty nugget, but never going to remove stains and or baked on material.

Good cleaning solutions and great for cleaning dust / dirt and Oils but that is about all.

And do not put 2 or more items in together; they just rub each other.

I use a retired one from work (a dental ultrasonic bath and plain water with a tiny amount of detergent). Works brilliantly to remove debris from nooks and crannies. Takes about 15mins.

Leaves it looking 'natural' rather than having that over-cleaned look which I don't like.

I've got an Aldi one, and find it most useful to clean the wife and girl's jewelry. Warm water with a bit of ammonia does the trick. The back of diamond and sapphire rings can pick up a lot of grease and dirt and remarkably affect the brilliance of the gem, so it is worthwhule

It will remove dirt from a coin, but not do much about humic and fulvic acid and other soil stains.

Enzymatic detergents can be used in the ultrasonic bath to remove organic stains and compounds and work very well.

I just add a cuppla drops of "Morning Fresh" detergent in and sit back and watch the ripples. :gemstone:

Ended up ordering a larger one on eBay: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2L-Digi...l-Industry-Heated-Heater-w-Timer/313345403849
That way I can use it for a whole bunch of things around the house. Also caters for my yet-to-come retirement nugget :lol:
