Ivation IVUC96S Digital Ultrasonic Cleaner with Adjustable Power & Removable 17 Ounce Stainless Steel Tank - Silver

This ultrasonic cleaner is actually much nicer than I expected. It's attractive & the removable basin with a handle makes it super easy to fill & empty & clean. I have not found it to be able to get things sparkling brand new squeaky clean, but it does get them much cleaner than anything other than tediously hand-scrubbing them would. I'm still sort of experimenting with the things I can put into it. I'd also like to note that this device has well written directions, which is something I find often lacking with electronics, particularly unusual ones, that I've bought over the last several years. If I could change one thing about it, I'd allow the user to input cycle lengths longer than 480 seconds; it's not a huge deal, but I have something I need to clean for about 15 minutes at a time and so I have to stay at the ready with this to put it through a second cycle after the first finishes. The trade off with this, of course, is that the lack of a process for user fine tuning means it's dead simple to use and nearly impossible to screw up through user error. My purchase was from DBRoth and the item arrived brand new, with all internal components sealed in plastic inside an unblemished original product box.

I bought this to use with my Invisalign trays, because I heard they can get yucky, but need to be cleaned gently. I also bought Retainer Brite, and I use that in this machine with the aligners in the provided tray every morning (per another review here). I do usually give my aligners a very quick brush with my toothbrush and some soap first just to get off any gross mucus (I get gross postnasal drip at night...thanks allergies!). I use power level 2 and run it for the full 480 seconds, but I'm not sure it's necessary to run it that long. I just like to make sure they get extra clean. I don't fill it all the way up to the max line, just enough to cover the aligners well, and I drop in the Retainer Brite tablet and start the machine. And 8 days in the trays look brand new and pass the sniff test. Sometimes if I'm home and it's possible I will clean them in the machine again with just water, but most days I haven't done that.I've also used this to clean a gold pendant and necklace, and some very tarnished silver earrings. While it did not remove most of the tarnish (it doesn't claim to do that), the earrings definitely looked cleaner, and it made a huge difference for the pendant and necklace. It does say not to clean pearls or other very delicate items in the machine, but I'm confident it will be a good cleaner for most of my jewelry. I just put a tiny bit of Simple Green in when I cleaned them, since they were really gross, but I think I'd normally just use a dash of my hand soap. Oh! And my wedding ring has a large hollow area underneath the diamonds, and it also cleaned the gunk out of there really well, so the diamonds look more sparkly from the top now. It is really good for cleaning things with little areas that are hard to reach, since the bubbles can reach them in a way a brush or cloth can't.I just cleaned mine and my husband's toothbrushes and water flosser tips in it with a bit of hand soap, and was so disgusted and satisfied to see the gunk that came off that I had to take a picture, which I'll attach. We've only been using these toothbrushes for a week and they looked very clean before. They didn't fit in so I just put them in brush first and tilted the lid open to allow for the handles. I didn't have any splashing or anything.It is loud, but not as loud as a hairdryer. I just don't like to stand next to it since the sound is kind of annoying (it sounds like Gilbert Gottfried if he were a doorbell that made a single tone for 480 seconds). Despite the noise, it is one of my favorite recent purchases and I'm glad to have it in my life.

I bought this unit with the intent to use it to clean .223 brass and 9mm. It worked pretty good with the .223 brass that I have cleaned so far I was not expecting miracles since it is only a $30 item. I also did not use any type of store bought cleaning solution. I used close to boiling water with lemon juice, vinegar, and salt. I did notice that the more vinegar you used the more the brass darkened after a couple of days. most of the "dirt" inside of the case was removed but not all... I was satisfied with the results. I did also use it on a fuel injector with only hot water and no power to actuate the injector. This i was expecting little to no positive results and I was right. All and all I'm happy with the unit just as long as it lasts for more about a year with moderate use. So far its been about a month.

The first point I need to make is that while this is a great little ultrasonic cleaner, it is NOT and was never intended to be a polisher. It will clean many objects with deeply embedded soil, but it cannot remove corrosion or tarnish from silver jewelry.The removable wash tank makes this the best design of all the many similar versions of this type of ultrasonic cleaner.If you ever wondered why all of the competing models had the same specifications but only looked different on the outside, it is because they are all the same on the inside. The electronic parts that make up its circuitry and the sound transducer are all the same and the different manufactures of these products shop from the same suppliers when they buy the raw parts to make their products.The one feature that sets this apart from all of the others is the removable wash tank. The cleaning tank just sits on top of the electronic half of the cleaner and lifts off for easy cleaning. Most other designs do not have a removable cleaning tank and require you to clean the soiled tank while being careful not to get any of the electronics wet. Although I would not recommend immersing the cleaning tank for cleaning, it is very easy to rinse off the tank under running water, and wipe it dry which you can't risk doing with the other designs.The other valuable feature of this design is that you can safely add a little non-caustic cleaning solution to warm water to help clean really soiled objects and the use of proper cleaning solutions is mentioned in the instructions so using them would not cause problems or void the warranty.If you are looking for a small ultrasonic cleaner in the $50 price range, this is the best design of them all. I have been using the one I purchased here and have never been disappointed with what it can do.

This is a great product that does exactly what it says on the tin. Don't be put off by the spec as published which says it's for 110V mains. It is rated to work on UK mains. My only slight concern is that if you use it continuously i.e. several cleaning cycles in close succession, the base unit that houses the electronics gets rather hot so it's best to let it cool down for a while between cycles. That's the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. Highly recommended though and so easy to use.

great for denture cleaning and renovating the bright colour back to my wife jewellery.

not as magical in results as you might hope for - may need a couple of visits to the tank. Note - instructions warn against continuous / repeated use.

doesnt really do what it says, put some things in it and tried to clean them, gave them three or more cycles and still didnt clean the dirt of, sent it back, bad product

Recommend this cleaner makes things like new
