Does a good job cleaning up the parts but leaves a residue. I bought some kitty liter and home that will work to clean it up and give it a final polish. It’s loud but I found a place in back of the building so it’s not so annoying.

Okay, I admit I was expecting to find something much more risque when I opened this thread but...

I've had pretty good luck with mine. Kitty litter didn't work for me because it pounded to dust too quickly. Might have gotten the wrong stuff. The pyramid resin chips have worked the best and like others have said, works better with some sort of solvent. I had the best luck with Pine-sol in the resin chips. Also as others have said, there are limits on how far it gets into recesses etc. For fine polish, filling the tumbler with walnut shells worked pretty well.

My HF ultrasonic cleaner worked great for the little while it worked before it crapped out. The electronics panel is right on the front where it gets dripped on every time you remove the lid and is not sealed well. Take extra steps if you don't want yours to die young like mine did.

@Epstein


Can you post pics of the final results?


@bbrock
I gave up on my HF vibrator but did not try various media.


I have gone thru three HF ultra Sonics for the same reason. The condensed water pours onto the electrical panel and it gives error codes and craos out. So I put them in the sun till the water in out of the display. Then exchange them under warranty.
