I've been an engineer for 30 years for a company that makes these. Don't put parts in the plastic tupperware container, plastic absorbs the sound energy and does not transfer it to the solution inside. Glass or metal is best. You can remove the heat scale, but not with soap, you need a low pH, acidic solution. Do not use muriatic acid as it can attack the grain structure on certain steels. Also do not use anything with chlorine, such as bleach. In industry, cleaning of scale is called pickling, and often a nitric / hydroflouric acid mix is used. Really nasty stuff to the human body, both via direct contact and any fumes from the top of the tank. This industrial method is the only one I am familiar with. Searching the web, it sounds like people have had luck with long term soaking in vinegar, use of a pool chemical called 'pH minus', and I would try the diet coke method just to see if it would work.
Another way to clean scale is using a weld seam cleaner machine, they are available online and use an acidic tipped wand that is energized to provide an electrolytic scale removal solution, we use these to clean the weld seams on the tig welded stainless hardware.
Blatantly obvious (except for many reviewers) that you need to use a much more powerful heater to get large amounts of liquid up to temperature. The built-in heating elements are only to make up for heeat loss during the process
The industrial modles are strong enough that the ultrasound can cause nerve damage if you put your hand in the water with the machine on. This one may be too weak to do this. But better safe than sorry.
@@EivinSukoi There is always the temptation to just reach in and adjust something. There are a lot of 9 fingered people out there that just reached inside the guard of some machine to move something. Just a warning. May not even be applicable to the machine. And yes, I do reach in the oven to take out the cookies. I use hotpads to touch the cookie sheet, but reaching in is no problem.
I’m tempted to try WD40 liquid in my ultra sonic since spray form removes dried up grease so well. Most other cleaning solutions take hours in tank to be effective. Suggestions?
FYI, the fastest and most efficient way to heat that amount of water will be an electric kettle. Pour you cleaning additive in, then add one kettle full after another until you've reached the total volume you need. Turn the cleaner's heater on after you've added the first kettle of water. Don't think an electric kettle is they best way? Ask your local Brit. Get the type that has an immersed heating coil, not the flat SS plate at the bottom, those are junk.
@@andreykuznetsov762 One might think that, but it hasn't been my experience. Also, I live in the US, in the UK their household current is twice that of ours, so their appliances get more power to those coils. Which may account for why nearly ever Brit has and loves an electric kettle. Perhaps while we're making America great and healthy again, we could bump up our household voltage levels? The system we're using is what Edison stole from Tesla over 100 years ago and it really is inefficient for some modern household appliances!
I was looking to see if my machine was supposed to make that annoying sound and I see that it does. I suppose it's not so bad if you keep it in the garage or something and not right next to your desk area.

My question is why does vevor have all 5 and 4 and a half star review, and as long as it the same type of item the use the same reviews for every single similar item, I've never seen this before and I'm a little bit skeptical
@rodiona8781 i bought it brand new. Used it for cleaning of scuba equipment. When I closed the scuba business I used it for cleaning carburetors and such.
Truly disappointed in Vevor warranty service. My ultrasonic died at 11mo and it took 4+ weeks for them to send me a replacement motherboard. now I have to hire a friend to install it. Bad communication, they wanted videos to prove it and then didn't watch the videos, followed by more bad communication. The board arrived yesterday. I am truly hopeful that is all that was needed to get it working again. I will not be buying vevor ever again.

Ziploc bags don't seem to dampen the energy. Too thin to make a difference I guess.
What works best on rust
@@jeremypeterson8002 vinegar soak
I've used my for 15 years. Great for the consumables on the CPAP machine.
dang what do you use? dishsoap & water?
Thanks Walter I've been looking at these for a while for small engine parts, just haven't gotten around to actually pulling the trigger on one yet.
Thanks. Great tip on hearing protection especially among us musicians. You could use a tabletop stovetop burner to preheat the water

Who wants to put their hands while this unit is on , will you put your hands in a hot oven while baking cookies 😬😬😂

You should make the basket to have multiple layers to max out the space and the blade you can clean in one go.
You could run a part time carburetor cleaner business our of that!!! Totally worth the money!!
Until it fails. Mine lasted 4 uses
Walter you missed a belt loop today. Very disappointed. Tighten it up brother!
He did it for social media engagement
His belt velcros over the belt loop. I wear a similar type of belt. His game is on point.
Lmao
If ya got small items to clean, just fill the machine to the required level with water, and ziploc bag the items with your cleaning solution.
Placing the top on should lead to more effective operation by providing a reflective surface for the energy in play.
Also quieter.
It will keep the heat and noise inside, but I don't think it does any difference to the ultrasonic action

I recently purchased a 6 litre Vevor and experimenting making a movie film cleaner. I don't know what I am doing, but it is fun experimenting. 😮
Maybe it can be used to clean the steel for Damascus before making the billet?
What a pity my rusty gate will not fit into one of these.
⚔️I wonder if you can use this WITH your tumbling ceramics?
With the machine sitting on a concrete floor, I don't seem to have any of the noise issues you refer to.
another channel that i watch a lot used his to clean up handguns too,Seemed to work pretty well on getting all the carbon off those too

What abrasives do you like in your tumbler?
Thanks,

Can you just preheat the water on he stove/ microwave?
I got one.. It came in rattling parts inside.. The inductors fell off the board in shipping. I cannot find parts online.

I used to use a large one like what they sent you for jewelry when I worked for Kay and Jarad distribution center

does Vevor has degas option?
I don’t think so. Not this model anyway
Ok, but your review needs more ' before/after ' examples.

Due to their advertising, the product quality is not as good as ours, so we hope you can consider the ultrasonic cleaning machine we produce
@@JackChen896what do you produce?
I have the 30L model and it's lack luster performance wise compared to my L&R
If you need an ultrasonic cleaning machine, you can contact me
Did you buy your L&R used or new? I'm weighing if I should buy an old used lab cleaner on eBay or a new one.
@rodiona8781 i bought it brand new. Used it for cleaning of scuba equipment.

@@jlpservicesinc1452 thanks for your input! I'll see if I can get a gently used lab-grade cleaner.
Or the 30% vinegar from homedepot
yep, and it'll remove the heat treatment.

Am i listening to George bush jr? Lol
Ammonia solution works best for general use
It’s not supposed to sound like that
I have heard a good suggestion - place the unit in an esky and close it for noise reduction.
Little use.blew up!
👍👏🏻👏🏻👍👏🏻👍
Thanks for the bit about noise, I wouldn't like that.
