Tip. Put your parts and water or degreaser in a zip lock bag and place it in the ultra sonic machine. This keeps the larger bath clean.

I just bought this exact model tonight at Harbor Freight. I plan to use it for gunsmithing, cleaning firearm parts, reloading and fired brass as well as cleaning carburetors on lawn and garden equipment. I was debating back and forth between this one and the cheaper $89 plastic one. I got this one because it appears to be built much better and has more capacity. Sometimes using one of these is the only way to do what you need to do. Think removing a gunked up carburetor off a chainsaw or something similar before you can rebuild it. A ultrasonic cleaner speeds up tedious parts of firearm cleaning as well. Think a barrel that looks like a sewer pipe inside or a M16/AR15 bolt carrier group caked with carbon fouling. Black powder cap and ball revolvers can be assisted with one as well.

Great video, I have a 30L from Vevor, got it for $239. 00 last year around November, it's fantastic. I use gunk or Chem brothers carburetor cleaner from autozone/advance auto parts. Cleans everything I throw in it. Thanks again for sharing

They work great on carburetors and clocks! =D Awesome!

Thank you for the review! I need one badly. This was very helpful. This model has good reviews on HF site. No 1-star reviews which is a good sign. Most Amazon reviews on these cleaners have several pages of 1-star reviews! Also, the wattage is clearly shown at 370 watts. One customer said it is not 6L but 4L, so 1 US gal size. For this size, a strong wattage is 70-100 watts, and this machine clearly exceeds that, so the power is strong for cavitation strength.

On Youtube, I saw a guy use a jar filled with gasoline to clean engine parts. He partially filled a glass jar (I think it was glass not plastic) with gasoline, put the part inside, screwed lid on tight and submerged it into the tank. The part came out shiny clean! I wonder if anyone here can tell me if this is safe? Has anyone else used gasoline, alcohol, acetone, mineral spirits, etc to clean with an ultrasonic cleaner? My house burned down and I salvaged jewelry and other things that need cleaning. I would love to know if this works.

If anyone also has experience with a good machine, please recommend brand. Something this size. Thank you!

I want to say you can get much cheaper and more options on the internet but if you needed on today good to know

I have been waiting on HF to get a nicer unit that the older model.

Have you, or could you, measure the actual Wattage of your ultrasonic cleaner. My Creworks cleaner is listed as 180 watts for the ultrasonic transducers. When I measure it with a Kill-a-Watt meter using only the ultrasonic function of the cleaner, it measures between 110 and 135 watts. I would be interested in knowing what your model is rated as and the actual power consumption. You posted a great video and I appreciate the information you provided.

I love how harbor freight sells an ultrasonic, and the temp is set for Celsius lol

[chauffeurmarco]

I just bought one but realized that it was not practical to flip the machine to get the liquid out. My next one will have the faucet

[daftnord]

the vevor 6l is $120. wonder if HF is better for a higher price?

[laserfalcon]

How would using vinegar as the liquid, would it help get rid of the rust?

[TheSuburban]

Hold on! Isn't that a Vevor cleaner with "Central Machinery" printed on the front?

[charleslane]

I think it's your camera screen because I see no flicker in the video

[robloxmaster]

[SHOTRED]

I got a question is oil eater good at cleaning gun parts ?

[slikkarl]

It's been a year.... Do you have an update on performance, longevity?

[walter]

Thanks, I'll be watching the HF ads for a discounted deal for it. What would happen if you used a cleaner that has a small amount of suds action? Would it foam up and spill over?
