Thinking I might need an ultrasonic cleaner. Mostly for cleaning small batches of brass, small gun parts, etc.
There seem to be a bunch out there, including from Hornady, RCBS and Lyman. I would appreciate some recommendations and experiences to narrow down my choices. Thanks! |

I've been perfectly happy with my Hornady.

I have no complains about this one.
I clean suppressors and AR BCG mostly.

I have the rcbs.
There is no need to use the whole thing of chemicals. I fill it with tap water and use a jar or a baggie to hold the parts & the chemicals. Btw Having a plastic tray is best if used entire unit. it keeps from scoring any finishes on pretty parts |

Unless you're looking to spend BIG money, I'd say pick a heated model from Vevor that matches how big of one you want.
Also, if you're putting gun parts in that have a finish, be careful which cleaning solution you use, or they'll no longer have a finish. |

Got a 3L version from Walmart, on sale for $65. Tacked on a 2 year protection plan for $7. |

I use harbor freight model about $80
Had it for years and done thousands of cases. Same exact one that Lyman sells for almost double. |

The transducer started fracturing off big chunks of potting compound. It still works but eventually I think the transducer will separate completely. |
