Ultrasonic Cleaner BATTLE! VEVOR VS. Harbor Freight! Unboxing, review, and carburetor cleaning!

Unboxing, testing and reviewing the 15L Vevor ultrasonic cleaner. We'll do a direct comparison to the Central Machinery unit commonly sold at Harbor Freight and test the two with a carburetor cleaning competition.

This is a brilliant comparison. I'm gonna do one comparing a Corolla and a F-350.

I have the same Vevor. Another tip: if you have small parts and don't want to use a lot of solvent/cleaner, you can put the parts and solvent in a cheap plastic resealable container, then put it in the tank, with the tank filled with water. Also, works great with Evaporust in the tank.

Glad I found this video comparing the two. Have been on the fence picking up the harbor freight one for a while now but after watching this, I just ordered the Vevor on in the same size you have

[tittan]

I got both too, what a difference in cleaning with the vevor. Best cleaner I found is Fabuloso purple . Does not darken aluminum and makes it super bright .

[SuperZmeister]

I’ve hesitated buying the Vevor cleaner but after watching your video, I’m ordering it next week. Thanks for the honest evaluation.

I hated cleaning out my ultrasonic cleaner, so what i did was fill it with water. i collected jars of various sizes and put the parts and cleaner in the jars and put the jars in the ultrasonic cleaner and turned it on, and what i expected that would happen actually happened. Everything was clean when it came out. Each jar was taken out and everything inside was clean and the water was still clean. Now i leave the cleaner in the jars until it gets to dirty then it gets disposed of i use LA's totally awesome in the jars because it is $100.00- $1.25 a quart and it is also all natural, but it works great and i don't have to clean the machine.

I have the same 15L Vevor. A big cat litter bucket or small garbage can fits nicely if you need room for something taller, just make sure to always fill up to the water line in the Vevor. A bucket full of water will vibrate the same resting on the bottom of the tank even if its waterline is way above the tank's water line. I was able to fit half of a whole dusty fan blade of an oscillating fan doing that.

FWIW: HarborFreight now sells a Ultrasonic cleaner in the style of the Vevor, although only 6 Liter capacity.

Add more water to help keep it quiet. I've found that if the water is a little low, the machines are more noisy. And fill your tank with water and clean the parts in smaller containers (put the containers in the basket to keep them off the bottom). That'll save you some cleaning solution. Of course that doesn't work for the big parts, but for small stuff it's awesome. And as someone else mentioned, EvapoRust in a hot ultrasonic works miracles.

The smaller one is designed for jewelry and such. The ultrasonic cleaner works anywhere the fluid can get to.

[PCMenten]

I don’t understand why people put filthy things into their cleaning baths. It’s not hard to scrape and wipe the worst of the muck off the parts which makes the process cleaner in the end. It also makes your consumables last longer and costs less.

I own and use a Vevor. The heater works just fine. Warming water takes time, fill it with cool tools or what not and yeah it will take a while. I have run the Vevor for two day's on an almost constant runs. Dirty tools, greasy parts and the wires jewelry all came clean. I am happy with the purchase.

[therocketman]

I have the smaller unit and I've had it for years. I use it for cleaning locks and firearm parts, it's awesome! This year was the first time I used it to clean jewelry with an actual jewelry cleaning solution; I was blown away. I have never seen gold, white gold, and silver blindingly shiny, nor have I seen diamonds sparkling unless they were in a display case. I may pick up that larger unit for some larger lock projects 😁

Great video
I have the 30 L model I have learned that simple green discolors aluminum. So I use simple green pro (the purple one) doesn’t hurt my firearms or carburetor. I use the biggest pickle jars I can find and put parts in it to clean. That way I don’t have to change the main fluid as often. Well if I put bigger items in like …I fit a Honda 70 gas tank i(restoring barn find) in to clean out the rust
Glass containers work better than plastic for allowing the waves to penetrate
I use the water from my dehumidifier to fill the unit
Hope this helps someone

[doylerabjohn]

Thanks, I am definitely interested in one. I need it for my antiques.

[IamJoeTV]

Most ultrasonic cleaners will do the job. The thing i have found from experience that makes the biggest difference is the solution you use. Truth be told the best solution i've used now is a 50/50 mix of Pine Sol and Water.

[Ajaxaxxess]

Vevor 15l d.
shows up tomorrow. Decided to do research after purchase.. like any grown man would do. Glad I found your video and glad i went with Vevor. Thanks bud

[craiga]

VERY enlightening! As the plan is, an ultrasonic unit is going to be bought for cleaning bike chains and pistol parts, this video is quite useful!!

[RangieNZ]

The "Vevor" unit is just a generic ultrasonic cleaner, with a "Vevor" sticker on it - there are many units for sale with the same controller & electronics. One point I would make, is the 'bowl' is glued into the chassis, but the glue is not great. Be aware that at some point, the bowl will probably come unstuck and you can damage the ultrasonic transducer & heater etc, if the chassis falls away - always try and lift the unit from underneath.

This kinda like putting a car up against a pickup truck in an RV towing test. Both can do it but 1 is meant for that duty towing. But if you put them head to head towing a small 4x6 trailer both will work perfectly. But the correct tool for the job. I have the small one and it works perfectly for small carbs, tools, jewelry, and other small items.
