Great commentary. My experience over the past few years: I have used them from the small plastic Harbor Freight ones, about $65.00, very successfully to the ones up to the 30 liter one you have. The size suits me best, as a hobbyist, cleaning carbs and other engine stuff, is the 6 to 7 liter size. It makes a difference what cleaner you use. Purple Power, SuperClean, and Simple Green work well diluted. Be careful trying to clean carbs with that stuff, it turns them dark gray to black, and leaves an oily film on the surfaces. A dremel with a wire brush cleans all that off them though and polishes them up. I have learned to fill mine up with just water, and put parts in smaller sealed containers with cleaning solution, or acetone, or lacquer thinner, or gasoline, and that works great and doesn't dirty up the main water. Happy 4th Chad!!

There’s a transducer under the bottom of the tank that creates the ultrasonic waves through the solution. Though the manufacturer gives you a basket that rests on the bottom of the machine, it inhibits the transducer’s ability to create sonic activity. You could bend those basket handles to 90 degrees and hang the basket from the side of the tank so that it’s not resting on the bottoms of the tank and the machine will work better. Also, let the solution heat to max temp before you start the clean cycle timer. On the solutions, don’t use soapy solutions because thicker soapy liquids will inhibit sonic action. 50/50 pine sol and water will work better. To clean small parts get one of those permanent coffee filters with the wire mesh and that will work great. Good luck. Love the channel!

Great job reviewing this product. I appreciate your honesty and not catering to the seller like most you tubers do.

Great to see a review video that was truthful with nothing added for better content. Great job and glad to see a second kinda video this week. Have a great 4th. Enjoy with the family

Good morning 🌞 thank you for taking the time and showing us all the results of your parts cleaner. It looks like it works 👍 I'm sure with a little experimentation you'll get it down. I hope you had a great 4th of July 💥 keep up the good work and the cool videos 👍✌️🇺🇲🎆

You need the basket handles above the fluid. It gets hot hot. Did I mention, hot. When you're done fartin around. Go get that GMC that was next to the dodge running. : ). Thanks for the extra video. You made my day.

Been fixing clocks for a living last 50+ years and using ultrasonic cleaner the whole time . Have used it on carbs as well and anything mechanical that I've been messing with. It's great. Watch out for some metals that may discolor everything in there. Mostly ones with zinc I believe. Experiment with different solutions. Actual ultrasonic fluid or Gunk. Lots of options

I have one of the smaller ones. The best cleaning fluid for carbs in my experience is Berryman Chem Dip. Pour some of that in there, and within an hour your carbs will come out looking like new.

Hey Chad!I have a Vevor cleaner too. It’s smaller than the one you have and doesn’t have the drain. Perfect for lawnmower stuff etc. The heater needs some time to warm up. These are awesome units, just wish the temps were in Fahrenheit. Awesome videos bud!

We use Gunk Parts Cleaner in our ultrasonic parts cleaner. It seems to do a pretty good job. We use heat and sound. Also turn it on about an hour or so ahead of time to preheat the fluid. You will get it down pretty fast! Once you figure it out you will love it for cleaning carburetor’s and other things with small parts.

I think it did good. just remember it is made to clean galley ways and ports that you cant reach easily it isnt a polishing tool.

I bought one much smaller than yours when I had to DIY injection pump rebuild. Made a big difference to trying to clean things with out scratching up machined surfaces! Also stripped down diesel injectors, and it cleaned the nozzles up pretty decent. All I used was water and Virosol. Done a couple pumps now and quite a few injectors. A Good tip is not to put too much in at one time, especially if its heavy. I've had Good results cleaning pistons too by suspending them in the tank from above.

Pretty nice to see you taking the time to review that cleaner. Chad I think there's a little getting to know it kind of stuff going on here. I have seen people use different solutions in them, and if you set that heater up before you start it SHOULD heat that tank up. I'm pretty sure around 50c you'll get better work out of it, and I know people use the carb cleaner from the gallon can by Gunk, that works really well in there (the smaller ones at least) and also yeah if you give it a little scrub afterwards I've seen it really really loosens all the nasty off. It is the kind of thing you put stuff into when you're doing other work, come back when it beeps and it's much cleaner than when you put it in.. I think you'll come to like it once you find the right cleaning solution for the application you're using it for. Thanks for taking the time to review it, if you check out Lift-Arc studios on KZfaq Vevor sent him a couple 'welders' hehe and he reviewed them!! Awesome!

Definitely need to use 100% pine sol. Also, don’t fill it up so full, I usually only fill it full enough to cover what I want cleaned. Heat is the trick, get it up to temp before putting stuff in, or just let it clean longer so the temp get up to hot. I’ve cleaned some pretty dirty parts with my smaller version, which obviously doesn’t take as long to heat up, hence the reason for not filling up the tank to the top. Love the channel Chad, have a great day and happy 4th of July!

I've always had good luck with windex or simple green in my cleaner. Great work as always

Never tried one thank you for taking us along on your test run awesome videos can't wait for next week happy 4th of july.

Nice little addition to the new shop😊❤

I would suggest a different cleaner such as simple green or purple power for a much better cleaning of grease coated parts and these tanks can be heated before turning the sound waves on. Glad to see that you got another sponsor. Happy 4th of July Chad..

Heat and simple green aircraft (the blue one) will work amazing for cleaning carbs. Not toxic once it’s warm and safe on aluminum. Combo I always used was 50/50 simple green blue and water, heat, full 30 min cycle. Heavy rust use evaporust. Also cleaned spark plugs with simple green blue.

Your gunna fall in love with that thing cleaning those old carbs

Enjoy your content. Enjoyed your new shop building videos!

Thank God your back I needed a fix u really need to make more shows I love watching u u make me laugh I need it I fight depression bad and u make my depression go away your the only way i get it to go away love u man

Good honest review. Thanks for that!

What a nice surprise, an unexpected video, love your channel, happy 4th

Happy 4th of July Chad. God bless you. And my God bless America❤🇺🇸

Preheat it to 80°before you use it and you will be much happier (it will take a while to preheat)

Turn the Heat on so IT will BE getting cleaner👍

Glad you got you a sonic cleaner it will help you alot you do alot of carb work well take care and have fun with your new toy

I use water, Simple Green, and Dawn dishwashing soap in my ultrasonic cleaner, it seems to work pretty good on carburetors. I fill up with water first, then add a 1\4 cup of Simple Green, and a couple good squirts of Dawn dishwashing liquid soap, run with heat on for about 20 minutes. Does a decent job cleaning them up, most of the gunk on inside fuel bowl is usually gone.

Great information 👍 Happy 4th of July!

Sure hope you got another video coming up tomorrow as l Looking forward to watching it ,have a great day

Great review. Try evaporust in the ultrasonic cleaner. It works very well on carburetor and other engineparts. I use heating at 50 celsius it helps as well.

Super cool. Simple green smells good and does a nice job. But as fas as how to get aluminum rust scale out. I used oven cleaner for 10 min. And then threw it into the sonic. Worked really well. Keep up the great work

Great job Happy 4th of July. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞

I've been using one for years, simple green, 50/50, ...great videos bud..

Good honest review. It should do you well once you figure out time, temp and solution to use.

I been'a fixin' to buy one, maybe i will! Great video

I build engines professionally and ultrasonic are probably one of the best inventions for cleaning anything. Depending on the solvent it's safe for any material. Only thing doesn't matter what solvent you're using, humans breath air. If you're gonna inspect it turn it off before putting your head and eyes over the solution. Especially when it's hot it can be evaporating and you'll be breathing it in getting into your eyes. For cleaning carbs the "ideal" way is to use different cleaners and I'm sure there's a million opinions in little plastic containers and water. Also keeps the float under water. Be sure to change your cleaning solution as you use it because the dirtier it gets not only does it no longer clean it can leave residue on your stuff.

I just bought an ultrasonic cleaner a few weeks ago from harbor freight, seem to work fairly well on a lawnmower carb, I used some industrial cleaner Mean Green I got it at Walmart, good luck buddy

Hey! Hey!, Mr Chad looks like a real good addition to the New Shop! Parts Cleaner.

Use to use one just like it but smaller when i worked at a small engine shop they work great if it doesnt clean it good enough give it more time but we used some kind of degreaser made for ultrasonic cleaners but definitely use the heat on the machine it makes it clean a lot better.

I used an ultrasonic cleaner when I worked in the aviation industry to clean the grease out of wheel bearings. The Company I worked for used a chemical de-greaser. It would clean the bearing grease out in 5 minutes then I'd blow the degreaser off with compressed air. I have an ultrasonic cleaner at home and have used Gunk degreaser at home but it smells awful. I get Harbor Freight's degreaser that you dilute with water and it does quite well.

Hello Chad, I almost pulled the pin and bought a ultrasonic parts cleaner like yours last week to soak a Motor Craft / Ford carb off my 73 F250 but after watching some screw tube vids I opted for the $12 Harbor Freight gravity feed baking soda / media blaster, Yes-Sir.... Super cheap, super easy, brand new clean look in 15 min. Augh-Ya,....TNT-G

Chad-hope all is well. Enjoy your videos. Straight pine sol without diluting a must. Also need to get her as hot as possible before using with the ultrasonic blast. You will see much better results next time if you do those couple of things. Obviously several different degreasers out there to try. Pine sol I think is the cheapest and dollar stores sell it plus it’s friendlier to smell. Stay humble my friend.

I like vevor stuff. I bought a vevor 30 series torque converter and it was a beast

I've always wanted one of those for cleaning carburosters...LOL!

Hi chad great channel I watched all the videos . That a neat machine I notice lots of people use them. Wonder how purple power or super clean would work ?

Happy 4th Chad!

I think its called chem dip carb cleaner in the 1 gallon can works great. PS preheat. WELL DONE, Keep up the great work Love it!!!

That will be nice in the new shop good review good video thanks Chad

Simple green works really good in these

Use a smaller bottle filled with the cleaning solution and poke a small hole in it to equalize the pressure and let the air out. For floating parts weight them down so their submerged. Also heat is your friend I’d use it. Thanks for the review.

I have the same one just sold under a different brand name. Works great been using it for 3 years now. I use Berryman Chem Dip.

I have one about half that size , I used a 50/50 mixture of water and concentrated Purple Power , works great .... As far as the heat issue , it needs about an hour or more to come up to temp before using it to clean parts ....

Nice video, thank you. Turn up the all-temp-a-cheer and wait longer! Detergent loves Grease. That is why they put it in Motor Oil. It also corrodes Metal. A quick rinse will fix that. The parts run hot in the vehicle. Normal human temperature is about 97degF. Ron PTL USA

I have the same cleaner. Make sure not to run it at too long intervalls as the transistors on the driver boards has cheap cooling fins. They get too hot and then crap themselves after a while. Mine lasted for many years. I didn't use it very often, but when I did, I let it run for hours at the time.

I use purple power in mine!! Turn the heat on does a lot better

Harbor Freight Gallon jugs of yellow de-greaser works great, but it must be diluted. I find it very strange, but the stuff does almost nothing straight, but dilute it with water and it is awesome ! Thanks for the Video.

Hi Chad, I strongly recommend to use the Gunk Parts/or Carburetor Cleaner. You will see a Big difference as opposed to the Pinesol. I promise you'll be impressed afterwards.

Great video Awesome keep them coming 👍

Great show brother 👏

Thanks for another Brother !!

Good evaluation

Could u use the turn valve to drain it or u got to dip it out???? Can you tie the floats down w/wire or something so it’s submerged in the solvent???

I believe if I remember right you have to preheat the water you have to turn the heater on and let it heat up it then turn the song

I have the exact cleaner. It takes to long to heat up so I use an electric heating coil to get my solution hot fast. It saves a bunch of wear and tear on heat unit in cleaner. Also I use straight simple green with no water.

Good review I would try oil eater degreaser its cheap and cleans concert like nothing else.

Turn the heater on first then put the timer on. The pinesol is a nice touch. That fresh lemony smell aaaaaaah

Love mine for carburetors.

Seems to be a handy little device

Simple green works great in that parts cleaner.

ultrasonic cleaners can get in pores and crevices that a brush can't reach. I've used them for years and for some jobs, they can't be beat.

I have a HF ultrasonic cleaner. I run straight purple power in it. No aluminum parts in it as PP can be really hard on them. Ultrasonic works best on small intricate parts like bolt actions, lifters, and items with internal passages. I use mine on mostly reloading equipment and not so much car parts. I prefer my heated parts washer for that.

I've heard that those machines will also be cleaning the really small passages, like the idle circuit and such that get gummed up with old gas.

Very honest and clear review yes sir 👍🏾 , it look like it will make a GREAT hotdog 🌭 or cabbage 🥬 and corn beef 🥩🤷🏾‍♂️ just saying, O hey to Ms daisy 🐕‍🦺

Heat certainly helps

Simple Green work really well, and use as high heat as possible.

You can use dawn dish soap too

i use berrymans chem dip in mine, got a 5 gal bucket of chem dip for $115 at the local parts store....works awesome in the ultrasonic cleaner.

Very nice clean up good of I have a shop I would buy one to clean parts

I have found that if you use the chem-dip carb solution in it it does great

Zeps degreaser in that would work great. Citris based cleanersare suppose to clean great too

The cleaner they say too use works awesome. But some other stuff will work. The carb cleaner in a bucket you talked about with that works perfect will look like new.

Pine sol and bleach are two of my favorite smells

I bought one of these units. It lasted all of 5 minutes. Smelled like something electric fizzled inside. The return/replacement process is cumbersome, to say the least. Waiting for my replacement. We'll see how it does.

Also helps to pre heat it before putting parts in it mine actually heats up pretty quick

Got the harbor freight one , heater works great ,i pre heat water pour in an i use purple power , some peope say it discolors parts , maybe does maybe doesnt , personally i dont care as long as cleans , an it does , some times i run it thru a few times for best results

I'd like to see you re review it using 100% pinsol and getting it up to temp 1st. I just soak carb in straight pinsol in a bucket without a ultra sonic and they come out looking like new metal. I'd imagine heat and the ultra sonic with straight pin sol or simple great would be the ticket.

For carb parts I would use Gunk carb cleaner and defiantly heat.

I've thought about doing a DIY ultrasonic cleaner. May the heater is faulty on this one. As far as cleaning solution I would try chemtool or some kind of varsal something with a harsher bite. I would be a little lery of gaskoline.

Throw your parts in while you're preheating the machine. That gives your parts a chance to heat up as well as presoak. Then run it I think you will find it cleans much better that way.

Mean green works great, it does heat up slow but if you give it time it will get hot and the hotter the better it cleans, at 55 c for 2 30 min cycles mine will make old crusty carbs sparkle

I use aircraft simple green, works great

Hey Chad I have a totally unrelated question, Sta-Bil gasoline additive for lawnmowers and such, good or bad, what’s your opinion? 🤔 Thank you and God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸

Any idea if you're gonna revisit that 73 mustang?

I'm still on the harbor freight degrees are mixed about half and half of water and you will get a better results and finds all even

I had good results with using power purple full strength. Yea the heater lags a bit. But it does clean better by using heat.

Most people who use those do it overnight and Simple green works very well too.

Simple Green, 20% solution mix. So for 1 liter you want 200 ML’s of product. I have done motorcycle carburetors many times and it will take off the corrosion scale. I had a Harbor Freight unit until I accidentally left the heater on and it fried itself. So I’m looking for a new unit.

they work pretty dam good wiht the right liquid. I have basically the same one.
