  This cleaner works very well. Very easy to use and seems to get all of our jewlery and other small items like watches and glasses very clean.

  I asked my mother to get me one of these for Christmas because my jewelry was filthy and using the little jar of cleaner with the brush just wasn't cutting it. Wow, was I impressed. We immediately opened it and starting cleaning any jewelry we could find. I am truly pleased with this product and would recommend it. It's simple to use and easy to clean up. Since my jewelry hadn't been cleaned well for a long time, I added some windex to the water for the first cleaning. I was told that I could use an amonia based product on gold and diamonds by a jewelry store owner.

  I got this cleaner to clean my diamond engagement ring, which had one of the small diamonds replaced a few months ago. At the time the stone was replaced, the ring was cleaned at the jeweler's and I was astonished at how much more it sparkled than it had when I brought it in. Anyway, fast forward 4 months, and the ring is looking less impressive, but to top it off, the new stone is looking nearly an opaque white. I abuse this ring by wearing it almost constantly regardless of what I'm doing, so I wanted to give the whole thing a good cleaning before accusing them of replacing the missing diamond with something other than a diamond.
  
  After seeing the good reviews here and elsewhere, I selected this unit. I've seen lots of places recommend cleaning jewelry with nothing more than plain water when using an ultrasonic cleaner, and that is what I did. Boy, was I disappointed! It did look cleaner overall, but even after 2 3-minute cycles, it still didn't really sparkle, and the replaced stone still looked different from the rest. Also, looking closely at the underside of the settings, I could see there was definitely dirt in the crevices.
  
  So, I tried again, this time with a small squirt of dishwashing liquid in the water, and another cycle with clear tap water afterwards. Now, that's more like it! Even with the ring still under water, I could see the difference. All of the stones are sparkling, now.
  
  The unit is as simple as pie to operate, and seems well enough constructed. It has a stainless steel tank, and a plastic basket to protect your valuables from banging against the metal during cleaning. You can watch through a clear plastic window in the lid and see your rings vibrating - pretty cool.
  
  Any way, I'm happy with my purchase.

  This machine works great, much better than the 30.00 one, which can burn out with heavy use, ... I reccomend this one instead.

  I chose this cleaner because it seemed more powerful than the others, and only cost a little more when I bought it. I'm having a lot of fun cleaning jewelry. It gets dirt and dead skin out from places I would never be able to reach, like the backs of diamonds, and inbetween the links of chains and it's gentle. It's wonderful on eyeglasses and wow, can I see everything better and boy does it sparkle. I usually run it about 5 minutes, without the basket then drain the water. Water always ends up a little dirty. It doesn't polish ring bands so if I want more of a shine, I rub some polish on first, before I clean the jewelry.
