I got one like this from Harbor Freight, although mine does have a heater. The thing I don’t like is that the auto cut off is pretty short...like 3 minutes, probably so it doesn’t over heat. Cleaning is just OK, not very powerful, but its better than swishing around in a coffee can!
This ultrasonic cleaner has no heating elements - so you would have to add hot water to it. Generally hot or even boiling water will improve the cleaning effectiveness so if you have something stubborn it should help. Higher-end ultrasonic cleaners have adjustable temperatures that pre-heat the water before the cleaning starts.
Yes - you can always add hot water to get better cleaning. High-end ultrasonic cleaners have built-in heaters which make them easier to use and keep the water warm through multiple cleaning cycles.
Great products review! Thanks!

Harbor Freight usually has some good deals. Ultrasonic cleaners are definitely the easy way to clean things inside and out with little effort.
how hot is the water supposed to get or can you add boiled hot water at the beginning.
