- Vevor Sent me an Ultrasonic Cleaner, so I figured I'd just clean some random things around the shop to see what it does.

All my file cabinets are two-wheel drive, so no transfer cases.
Make sure your parts are fully immersed. If there's anything sticking out the waterline will be gross and very hard to clean up.
I have the Vevor 180 watt 6L digital ultrasonic cleaner with the vinyl record attachment. I have a very substantial vinyl collection that I have created over the span of several decades and wanted to try one of these to see if the hype about them was true. IT IS! After I finished cleaning my entire collection I was amazed at how much better they sounded, some even as good as when new. I ran the temperature at the 32 setting and the cleaning cycle for 10 minutes. After rinsing in distilled water to get rid of any loose residue I let them air dry in a set of dish racks. I could only do six records at a time (the machine will do eight but I wanted the additional spacing) so it took over two months to do my entire collection but it was well worth the effort and time invested. AND I now have an ultrasonic cleaner for my shop since it also came with the basket seen here.
I heard or read somewhere that the ultrasonic cleaner can do a really terrific job cleaning linens like those rags but the problem is the dirt only gets loosened up but still needs to be rinsed out of the material well afterwards to finish the job. Which sort makes sense looking at what was left in the tank when you were done. Not sure about any of that, just thought to pass that tid bit along.
Vevors customer service is garbage. If you have a problem, do a follow up and let us know how it goes. They wont send you any parts, they start by haggling over a partial refund, then they eventually offer a full refund if its obvious they screwed up. Thats good, at least, but if you bought something like hand rails or something you permanently install (like i did), you pretty much have to tear it out.
You had me so engrossed I forgot to eat my ice cream and it melted.
You have mention this river where you find your stock a few times. I confess, I’m very curious what it looks like and would like a field trip video. Of course not if doing so would result in losing your preferred fishing spot as it were. But I’m curious. I’m just picturing you wading into the water with goggles and a snorkel. But the more I think about it the more I’m convinced that my brain came up with something ridiculous.
2 tips: a upside down cardboard box (Amazon box it came in) placed over it when running cuts down the sound by about 30%. And Simple Green makes and extreme metal cleaner the work amazing in these machines.
simple green - not when finished
You know you're meant to change the water between batches, right, not just use the same water for cleaning five different groups of things and then wonder why the hose didn't get clean after running filthy water through it
These are the kind of experiments I would be doing, so thanks for doing them for me.
As a side note, spent years in the jewelry industry, ultrasonic cleaners were both fantastic and a death trap. Let’s say you had a diamond ring. If the diamond was loose at all it would vibrate and cut through the gold head holding it in place so you could end up having to remount the stone.
The sous vide method works really well if you need/want to use a nasty solvent. Careful with the heat.
"The noise?" "Rather annoying" :D pretty good comedic timing, made ma laugh..thanks
I'll bet the product builder got an eye full. Interesting test, thanks for the look.
Great videos Jeremy. I have small ultrasonic cleaner and would like to get on like that. I know you said you didn’t want to mess with Ziploc bags but give this a try. Take a piece of hot rolled steel and put it in a bag with vinegar and then put it in the cleaner. It will take all the scale off.
Hammer handle, still broken! That gave me a chuckle
I use a 2 kW immersion heater on mine... Actually i use two, since i'm impatient. Cost $30 and actually has made it so i pull the cleaner out way more often, since i can now get the solution up tp temp within 10 minutes.
Your vids are awesome keep it up!
I have the exact same style/model, only the 15 litre one - I got it off eBay brand new for like $140 a cpl years ago - I mainly do motorcycle carbs in mine, Simple green will turn expensive Dellorto carbs from your antique Ducati's DARK DARK GREY (ask me how I know) so I went and bought actual Berrymans Chem Dip Gallon cans of carb soak and it works way better and doesnt ruin the alloy finish-
