DK SONIC Ultrasonic Cleaner,6L Professional Sonic Cleaner with Cleaning Basket.Digital Control Ultrasonic Parts Cleaner for Cleaning Carburetor Parts,Eyeglasses,Watchband,Coins.(110V,1.58Gal)

You get what you pay for here, the DK Sonic is a well made quality machine.To me the 10L ultrasonic cleaner is a minimum size and perfect as the basket is a nice square size and well made. Will be used for bicycle chains, chain saw chain and carb, and other carburetors.Unit features: stainless steel ball valve, degassing, dual frequency, 300 watt heater, 240 watt transducers, big handles. I used distilled water in freezer zip-lok bags with Simple Green HD (Purple) mixed 1 to 3 ratio.Set the bags with parts in basket then added water to tank, plug machine in, click power button in back by plug, and let the water heat up. Degassed, then 42 hertz for 30 minutes, temperature 55 celsius/131 F, came out spotless clean. Machine stays stationary and not loud, 64 db at 3 feet distance. The only thing I would change is the plastic lenses in front of LED digital readouts to a clear lenses instead of the grid wave line type. I like the green digits. Happy Customer.

I am occasional ultrasonic cleaner user (mostly for electronic PCB) and am very happy with this unit. Well built, has Degas function, and a large basket for a 2L unit. Am not sure if it actually reaches the specified power for heating and ultrasonic (based on it's power consumption from 110 mains) but it's not too far.If you wonder how the degas function works, it repeatedly turns the ultrasonic wave on for 6 secs and off for 2 secs, because somehow it accelerate the release of gases from the cleaning liquid. Supposed to do it once each time you refill with liquid, for best cleanup.Documentation is brief, one page per language, but on good quality paper, and reasonable English, and easy to understand in general.The basket has two modes, one where is suspended on the handles, which I use during cleanup, and one where the handles are folded in and it supported by 4 feet, which I use during storage (it allows to fully cover the unit).My only peeve is that the up/down buttons are are placed in a counter intuitive order with the down buttons above the up buttons. What kind of a designer would do that?

This is working great. I bought it primarily to clean vinyl albums (records), but it also works just as well for other cleaning tasks.Very happy with the device, my only complaints:1. Upon arrival it smelled terrible. My assumption is that the device was tested at some time, then packaged while it was still a bit damp. Unsealing the package was like taking a swim in a murky swamp. But, that odor quickly went away with some airing out, and use.2. The up/down buttons for time and temperature are inverted. By inverted, I mean the up, or increase button is below the down, or decrease button. Not a big deal, but from a usability perspective it is a bit backwards from the intuitive solution of putting the up button on the top.Things I like:1. The cover fits well and keeps the tank clean when not being used. It does little/nothing to reduce the noise.2. The built in heater is handy, but I have not used it yet. I know people love to run these cleaners at a high temp, but it does not make sense. You'll get more effective cavitation at lower temps. Raising the temp will increase solubility of the solvent, but also decrease cavitation. The two need to be balanced for the best result.3. The tank is not huge and too heavy, but the handles are appreciated. The drain valve is also nice for tank changes without the need to lift the entire unit.4. Semiwave, fullwave, and degas modes. I have not seen a big difference between the cleaning power of semi and full modes, but they both work well (on albums). Degas mode is handy after filling the unit.5. It is a great looking unit with the light texture, and matching blue handles, valve, and graphics.The noise of the unit in operation is not terrible, but I wear headphones when it runs. If you want to enjoy listening to music, you need to keep those ears protected.

The first unit I received would not heat up. I contacted the company and tried several things, but the heating element was defective. The unit was replaced and I have been using it for a little over a week now and it works great. The unit heats up to whatever setting I set it at and maintains that temperature. I love this unit and the time it saves me in my chainsaw repair shop. I can put items in the unit to clean and walk away from it and do other things. When I come back at the end of the cleaning cycle the parts are clean. All I have to do is used compressed air to dry them off and blow off any other debris. It also works great to clean up the chainsaw chains before sharpening. This keeps the grinding wheel from building up with oil/sap. I highly recommend this brand of ultrasonic washer based on customer service and product performance.Regards,Bill

This ultrasonic cleaner has worked great so far and it is not very loud. I’ve used it 5 or 6 times. A few times with simple green and a few times with pine sol to clean my cb350 carburetors.It takes about 45 min to heat up to 60 degrees Celsius with room temp distilled water.It has 3 heating elements unlike some of the other brands which have less.

There is a reason that commercial Ultrasonic Cleaners are very expensive, they last. While these Ultrasonic Cleaners from China are much more affordable, if they work, they don't work for very long. Mine worked for about 9 (under 1 hour) cycles, over a 6 month period of time before the Ultrasonic feature died! I contacted the seller and they have stalled with their response. It appears to me like they hope I will just go away.If you want one of these units for a few uses maybe it works out fine, but my experience has been that they are JUNK and money down the drain. Believe the one star reviews, I should have, but instead I hoped for the best and got a one star product.

The media could not be loaded. I used the heck out of this thing to ultrasonic all my 3 piece wheel hardware for the rebuild and had no issues. Cleans them up real nice and gets rid of the grime, dirt and brake dust off the chrome plated hardware. Heats up quick, used Omegasonics cleaning solution. Worth the money

Performs efficiently. Highly recommend

This DK Sonic Cleaner, one of many in various sizes and shapes, is mainly used to clean grease and dust from small machine parts. I am using it for ultrasonic extraction of shikimic acid from star anise. Health Ranger Mike Adams has a video at his Natural News website demonstrating its usage, and Amazon customer Essie has useful notes on the extraction process. Shikimic acid has proven health benefits. The DK Sonic can be used for extractions from many other plants and herbs. Simply heat up the solution or mixture with whatever plant or seed you are using, then when desired temperature is reached, turn on the ultrasonic extraction. If it's star anise, then filter it with a coffee filter, and add the resulting concentrated liquid to other drinks. It makes a delightful anisette.

-water gets up to temp in a reasonable time so long as you start with hot water, the heater turns itself off though.when it hits temp and doesn’t turn back on. Not a big deal. If you’re running a bunch of parts just hit the button. If you need to get to temp faster, buy a 1,000 watt immersion heater.-Quieter than the cheaper one I returned-Looks the same as the budget models, but so far appears to have been built to a higher quality specs and has some nice key features like a degas cycle.

The DK SONIC Ultrasonic Cleaner offers solid performance for cleaning various items, including coins, small metal parts, and circuit boards. The 2-liter capacity is suitable for a range of cleaning tasks, and the digital timer allows for precise control of cleaning cycles. The included basket is a convenient addition for handling small parts. While it performs well and is easy to use, some users might find the cleaning power a bit limited for heavily soiled items. Overall, it's a reliable and versatile cleaner that meets most everyday needs effectively.

The 2L model is too small for powersports carburetors but would be sufficient for chain saws/weed-eaters etc.
