Couple things. It is not a vibratory cleaner. The cleaning is accomplished by the transducers introducing sound waves into the solution which in turn creates microscopic cavitation bubbles. A good tank will dimple dent and tear holes in aluminum foil. Stick a sheet top to bottom for a minute to test how well it works. Simple Green is ok, I would suggest a solution designed for ultrasonic cleaning. Distilled water is great for rinsing, not necessary for cleaning. Once you add soap and dirty parts the distilled water is no more. As long as the tank doesn’t run dry and you keep it under 180f it won’t hurt the unit past an hour. It is also helpful to run the tank empty (no parts) for 10 minutes or so with the cleaning solution in it to drive off any undissolved gases, the song produce better cavitation and better cleaning.
This thing is AWESOME for cleaning carbs! It's slow to get hot though. Best thing to do is preheat your water before you pour it in the tank. Other than that it's great.
The slighw lower temperature is probably due to the ultrasonic function also generating heat. So the heating element will stay a little below to prevent overhearing which could lead to problems.
You can't clean the whole bank. You have to split it to get everything clean. Dirt will collect at places where You don't want it to go - inside, in all those small openings and jets. Also the T-tube fuel inlet between the carbs have O-rings that more often than not, will start to leak after a ultrasonic treatment. But, this was a great video. Great explanation on how the machine works. I've been thinking of buying a 20 L cleaner from Vevor myself, in stead of the small 4 L I have now. After seeing this, I think I'm going to buy it! Thanks! 👍
I came to the same conclusion as far as "breaking the bank". With all the intricacies of a four bank system full disassembly is a must if you want to get it right the first time. Glad you liked the video! And thanks for watching.
Hmmmm... I'd like to see the follow-up on reassembly. Yes, taking a 4-carb bank apart is a giant pain in the gonads. I've got a 4-tube mercury manometer I can loan you when it's time to sync them up...
@@CycleFab They will wear out pretty soon. You can add shrink wrap instead - important that the basket isn't in metallic contact with the bottom, or it will dig a hole.
I do resto work, we have entire engines to disassemble and clean including alloy castings, and also a lot of surface rust, old baked shellac etc when dealing with bikes 30-70 years old. Looking to see how this could help....does it strip paint of metal parts?
Hi thanks for the video. Have you tried this on surace rusted and deep rusted parts? Have you tried it on discoloured NOS steel parts that have been sitting in parts bins for years? Thanks
@@CycleFab thanks bro, will wait for the review, i just bought a 3.2L and was surprised with the results and i wanna upgrade to 15l or 22L next.time Subd!
The one thing that I don't like about this machine, and others like it. Is that it takes 2.5 hours to get up to temp from room temp water of 74 deg F. So, I either turn my machine on first thing in the morning if I know that I'm going to be using it that day, or heat up a big pot of water on the stove and just add it to the solution to speed up the heating process.
I wonder how long it will last with the cheap rubbish Chinsee parts they use over there. I also believe you have to fill it to the fill line, which is just above the basket.
After so many multifaceted multi discipline parts procurement and receiving, returning... I treat unpack as a roulette wheel. No excitement, hopefully satisfaction. 50-50.

Thanks for the info.
That is one of the best reviews that I've seen on ultrasonic cleaners. Thanks.
Happy to help, thanks for watching.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I have several sets of carbs that need cleaning
This thing is AWESOME for cleaning carbs! It's slow to get hot though. Best thing to do is preheat your water before you pour it in the tank. Other than that it's great.
thanks for the review! Seeing that you also posted an update and will watch that too.
Thanks for watching and commenting, it really helps out my channel!

"Possible."
VERY VERY GOOD Video, I Really Like The Way You Explain Everything & Also Show it as Will Great Job
Thank you very much!
When I rebuild antique clocks I use an ULTRASONIC CLEANER for cleaning parts, they come up like new. good video.
Thank you for watching!
hey dave, what solutiom fo you use fot the clocks? cheers.
@@SpinifexLeftHand I just use a mild dish soap solution

Thanks buddy, I might have to take you up on that.
The rubber feet will stop alot of noise. And not scratch stuff up. Or make wear holes in the tank.
This unit comes with rubber feet.

"Not rocket science", while wearing a NASA shirt... lol... Good Vid Man..!!
I didn't realize that until I read your comment! LOL!! Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much.

I don't know about it stripping paint, I've never tried that.
Just to follow up- yes they can strip paint and powdercoat
I am wondering
Just like phooney comercials
Could one pull out a whole different
Carb bank out the fluid !
Just a thought
Haha!
Impressive outcome alright! Should try the solution without the vibe on to see if it's just the hot cleaner doing it
I have. The agitation helps considerably!
Hi thanks for the video. Have you tried this on surace rusted and deep rusted parts? Have you tried it on discoloured NOS steel parts that have been sitting in parts bins for years? Thanks
This will not remove rust. Its main purpose is to remove oil, dirt and grim.
@@CycleFab what if i put the rusted part in a ziploc bag and hydrochloric acid and then put it in teh penis jiggler?
Nice review.
Um, I did a double take at "carpenter ants" portion!😳
Yep! Me too, when I found them.
Simple Green Pro HD is aluminum safe.
Good to know.
I’ve been told simple green is bad for aluminum so I’ve only ever used dawn dish soap, any truth to that?
I've never had an issue with Simple Green causing damage to aluminum. But Dawn dish washing soap is no slouch either.
Simple green will turn carbs black and cause damage per their website. The recommend their purple solution for aluminum and potmetal
How's your 22L sonic cleaner after 1 year?
Working well! I need to do a review over it and let you guys know somethings I discovered about it.
@@CycleFab thanks bro, will wait for the review, i just bought a 3.2L and was surprised with the results and i wanna upgrade to 15l or 22L next.time
Subd!
Great question @joms F
you ought to try a 6 banger ( CBX Honda ) FUN !!!!
I would love to get my hands on a CBX!
The green simplegreen is not good for certain metals especially aluminum. You should be using the purple HD Simplegreen.
Thanks.
Do they have one I can have a bath in?
Nope.
A year later how is the machine working?
I'll have a review video out shortly. Thanks for asking!
How long did it take too heat up.
About three hours. Here is a 1 year review over the Vevor 22L, check it out. th-cam.com/video/mZp1R2uvMDc/w-d-xo.html
Still using simple green?
Yes, and also the purple version. I've been experimenting with other chemicals too.
How long do you have to wait for the liquid to heat up to 60 degrees?
The one thing that I don't like about this machine, and others like it. Is that it takes 2.5 hours to get up to temp from room temp water of 74 deg F. So, I either turn my machine on first thing in the morning if I know that I'm going to be using it that day, or heat up a big pot of water on the stove and just add it to the solution to speed up the heating process.
@@CycleFab Thank you very much for your quick reply! It seems it s the solution... be happy
@@CycleFab vi how long take to reach max temperature?
@@watchmanexpert 2.5 hours going from room temp of 78 degrees F.
I wonder how long it will last with the cheap rubbish Chinsee parts they use over there.
I also believe you have to fill it to the fill line, which is just above the basket.
So far so good!
Hoping for information after two years
Adding more liquid actually reduces the effect of the ultrasonic waves. Your better off flipping your project over every so often
Thanks for the info.
So a small as possible one would be best?
I'm trying to figure out what size to get
Get the size that best fits your needs.
What do i do with the silver mesh filter
What silver mesh filter?
After so many multifaceted multi discipline parts procurement and receiving, returning... I treat unpack as a roulette wheel. No excitement, hopefully satisfaction. 50-50.
Cool viewpoint.
Rather than fill it with cleaner, add some water, and place parts in a container with cleaner
That's a really good idea! Thanks, now I can save money on cleaner!
where did you buy that?
There is a link to it down in the description area below the video, just click on the link and it will take you there.
You think you're excited? Imagine how we feel.
Great to hear that! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I got small one and still working ok but don’t use it that much
They're great when you need them.
I am very interested to know IF that dang thang is still operating. Mine failed 6 months out. F**k Chinese sheet.

Mine also failed , two diodes had failed to a short and caused a capacitor to blow . Now back working with new components fitted .
Popper paper we call it bubble wrap
Thanks.
You Really Should put Water in it First To Make Sure it Don't Leak
Ok
Been using ultrasonic cleaners for several years Cheap ones don't last
.
Vector? Sorry but these units are made in china AliExpress stuff. Vevor is just a reseller. Apart from that nothing wrong with them.
Yeah, they come packaged under different names.
Too hard of a sell for a paid promotion by a TH-camr. Too difficult to trust you as a result.
