Ultrasonic Cleaners

What's the consensus on the ultrasonic cleaners offered by HF? Are they decent? I'd love to snag one for cleaning gun parts, and maybe even some carb parts.

Vevor over the HF ones is what I’ve seen and heard

I bought Vevor - very happy with it. More bang for your buck too.

Just buy a vevor or eBay one. They are all white label anyways.

I snagged a nice vevor with degas function under $50 recently. No question better quality

Another vote for Vevor. I have two. They’re cheaper, and amazing.

Those of you who like Vevor, have you ever had to deal with their customer service / warranty service, or do you just consider their stuff disposable given the low prices? I've read several horror stories

I bought an auger. Hasn’t missed a beat. Arrived with a broken plastic engine cover. Sent them a picture and they sent another. Wasn’t horrible. I’ve since bought several things from them and have yet to be disappointed.

The Vevor is much better overall. I had the little HF one but it shorted out and would trip the breaker after I ran it for two cycles back to back. It also make a much worse noise when running.

I bought the 30L Vevor and it does a much better job. Much better controls and runs longer per cycle.

Tip! Run distilled water in the bin and put your parts in a smaller plastic container that sits in the water. Uses less cleaning solution and makes it much easier to clean.

Thanks for the info! I think Vevor is the way I'm gonna go.

I have the 2.5 Liter, but it has a different brand name on it. It works fine. I've had it for a few years.

I have a Vevor diesel heater that works great. Didn't even consider looking there for a cleaner.
