> 3 dayJust had to add to the positive reviews of this great little device! I wasnt sure, at first, if it was worth it, even at the discounted price, since it sounds a bit gimmicky, the whole ultrasonic cleaning thing, but thats whats great about Amazon, is reading the experiences of others, so I gave it a try, because I have eyeglasses that constantly need cleaning of course, plus I have a few watches that I wasnt really wanting to pay a jeweler to clean and polish. I purchased Blitz Gem and Jewelry Cleaner along with this, and thats what I used. The machine worked GREAT!!! Put in the water, put in some cleaning solution, put in my item, shut the lid and hit the button, which has options for how long you want it to clean, and it counts down and shuts off when its done. Easy breezy! Results were downright unexpectedly awesome! My eyeglasses have NEVER been this clean and I now do this deep clean once a week, and it makes it much easier during the week when just cleaning the lenses, since this deep clean makes them look BRAND NEW and gets all the grubby stuff (sorry, gross maybe, I know) off of every crevice where lens cleaning cant reach, so no smears now when Im trying to clean the lenses. I was honestly very surprised, since it doesnt appear that much is happening. You hear a noise, the water gets warmer inside, and you can see the water start to get slightly murky as dirt comes off your item and into the water, but wow, pull out the item and you sure can see a HUGE difference in cleanliness and its clear this device is doing its job. I did my regular glasses, and my sunglasses, and theyve never looked better, seriously! I next did a few watches, and for sure this is my new go to device for cleaning. Watches looked fantastic, and every nook and cranny was clean and shiny. Again, looked brand new, just like my glasses. And, if you just want to do the bracelet of the watch (lets say the watch itself is not waterproof) you can use the provided plastic arch to keep the watch face out of the liquid. And of course it also has the basket, if you had small stuff to clean, to lift the stuff out before dumping out the liquid. I would agree with others on the one drawback that you do have to take care in dumping it out. Would be great if it had a removable inside container, but it doesnt, and no pour spout. The cleaning basket is cool, works well, and comes in handy to take stuff out before you dump it, but you have to physically pick up and dump the entire machine to dump the water/solution out and my only worry would be, if it was done in a rush or done sloppily (especially because it has no pour spout or anything to help make dumping it out a bit easier), it seems liquid could perhaps spill into the machine itself, especially along the sides where the plastic parts meet (spilled water could certainly get inside). Or, just not holding it tight enough and you could drop the whole thing and maybe damage it. But, ones Ive seen with a removable inner container are more pricey, and not as well reviewed, so I was willing to put up with this minor inconvenience, and, thus far, taking care in emptying it, there hasnt been any issues. Just get near a sink, determine which way youre going to dump it, get a good grip (doesnt weigh much, even with liquid inside -- holds maybe a cup, or a bit more, of liquid, is my best guess) and give it the heave ho to quickly turn it into the sink so its a straight, clean dump of the water/solution. For a mere forty bucks it is well worth it, for sure! Just the ability to clean items so thoroughly, at home, whenever you want or need to, is spectacular and Im sold for sure on the power of ultrasonic cleaning. No trips to the jeweler means this will certainly pay for itself in a short period of time. I also tried a bit of diluted, mild dish soap, and that worked as well, although the jewelry cleaning solution seems tailor made for the job at hand. I just wanted to see if the solution did a better job than regular soap, and it seemed to, so Id advise a jewelry cleaning solution -- but even with just soap it still cleaned better than a hand washed effort in the sink, so this truly does what it says! Its honestly not something I ever wouldve considered buying, until coming across it when looking for a watch, and then reading reviews of it, but Im really glad I did get it, and thanks Amazon reviewers for sharing your experiences! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

> 3 dayI ran this ring through the machine three times, but that didn’t really do much to remove the dirt. I took the ring out of the machine and then scrubbed it with jewelry cleanser. Then I put it back in the machine and this is what came out. So beautiful! The instructions say you can use a soap and water to clean the jewelry if you don’t have cleanser.

> 3 dayThis unit arrived late on Saturday and Sunday morning I unpacked it and gave it a try. I could not stop putting jewelry in because everything came out so clean and sparkling. I recently lost a diamond in my ring and I had to take it to a jeweler to have the stone replaced. They also repaired the prongs, etc. When I picked it up, it was like having a new ring. So, I looked online so that I might keep my jewels looking like new. After ordering, I went back to the jeweler to pick up my diamond band that I had left for repairs. I talked with the jeweler about their cleaning and asked if they used ultrasound cleaning and she said that they did. So, I told her I had ordered a machine. She said that was good BUT she said, Be careful with your diamond jewelry because the vibrations can cause the diamonds to become loose. Only leave them in for short spurts. If you noticed, when I cleaned (your earrings), I did so in bursts. I told her I would be careful and she advised to not leave them in longer than thirty seconds at a time. But to take them out and use a brush to remove the debris. So, I only used 10 seconds on them in cold tap water and they came out great. Most of my items, and I cleaned one at a time, came out great with the 10 second scenario. The more stubborn ones, I added Dawn and kept trying, but they did not have stones of any kind. One bracelet ended up missing a stone, a tiny one, but I think it was missing beforehand. When I emptied the machine, I layered Bounty paper towels in the sink to strain the water so that if a stone was in it, I would detect it. There absolutely wasnt one. It is a very old bracelet that I purchased at an estate sale, and I have already replaced four missing stones. They are cheap rhinestones, but I love that bracelet.

> 3 dayLove it! I bought it to clean my glasses and it did not disappoint. It even got some grease from an unexpectedly greasy bbq sandwich out from the crevasses of my wedding band.
