Magnasonic Professional Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner with Digital Timer for Eyeglasses, Rings, Coins (MGUC500)

Gets the job done cleaning the frame You might want to use other methods to clean the lenses

Cleans well but do not expect anything incredible. Better off taking to a jewelry store.

I purchased this for my mothers Christmas gift. I had experience using the industrial versions and can say this works 90% as well. The first item I tested was on my moms metal watch band. I had to hold the watch itself (submerging the watch can damage it or break the water tight seal). The water began to turn grey then black removing all of the oils it had collected from her skin (quite disgustingly awesome to watch). I needed to eventually replace the water with clean water and run it through again. All that was needed is a bit of dishwashing liquid and water. I prefer heating some water in the microwave (add a bit of rubbing alcohol if you like as well to help cut the oils). Remember afterwards to clean the unit. Over time it will collect salt from the water where the metal pan meets the housing. I found the lid is really just there to cut down the noise. I preferred leaving it open as it would be one less thing to clean or collect residue. Next I dropped in a few rings and necklaces (silver and gold). It worked like a charm!! Simply rinse and wipe afterwards. I suggest using a toothbrush for stubborn areas such as intricate rings or areas where there is excessive buildup of grime. Avoid using on pearls. Be aware that jewelry with stone/diamond settings should be secure as this could cause them to loosen and fall out. So you want to check to make sure the jewels are still attached before dumping the water down your sink. This is not for fake/laminated/painted costume jewelry as it will make the coating come off. I used it on some glasses. You will be amazed how much grime they collect (about as much as the watch band). We use these in the optical business. They will not harm your lens coating. Your nose bad will become much cleaner as well…but if they are too green then have them replaced at an optical shop. I can tell you from experience that with glossy plastic frames that it can peel the glossy coating leaving places with a matte finish. There was one especially bad silver rope. It was more tarnished than dirty. Sure, this cleaned it. Just be aware that it isn’t designed to remove tarnish (you will need to polish tarnish by hand with a special cleaner & cloth after cleaning with this machine to remove tarnish). So needless to say the silver rope became clean but was still essentially black afterwards (yes it was genuine silver). I personally find it a joy watching items that you think couldn’t possibly be that full of grime create this cloud of nastiness. It makes me want to add fresh warm water and dawn and find what else to clean. My cell phone case? Sure! My grandpa’s nasty Case pocket knife? No problem!! Word of warning (again from experience)…it’s not going to harm you putting your fingers inside briefly. But don’t do for long to feel the tickle. It will pull out all of the natural oils from your skin causing extreme dryness and will make your nails brittle & crack. It can even rupture the capillaries in your finger tips making them red and bruised. *The unit is much smaller then appears in the photo. The opening is about the length of a pair of eyeglasses*

Good product

Great job on my jewelry and cleaned my mouth guard and made it look new! All I used was water and a few drops of Dawn dish soap!

Ive been wanting to replace my old jewelry cleaner for a long time. I finally found one I liked. Its easy to use and does a great job. The only thing I wish it had, like my old one did, was a small brush to get into the crevices. Otherwise, Im very happy with it.

Ive used one of these for years so this is a replacement. Our last one lasted 10 years so I have confidence in their quality. I dont use jewelry cleaner. To the water, I just add a little Dawn soap and a quarter cup or so of ammonia. Everything turns out so clean every time!

I ran this ring through the machine three times, but that didn’t really do much to remove the dirt. I took the ring out of the machine and then scrubbed it with jewelry cleanser. Then I put it back in the machine and this is what came out. So beautiful! The instructions say you can use a soap and water to clean the jewelry if you don’t have cleanser.

I ordered this on a whim as we were headed to an event that required my jewelry be cleaned. I love the size, it stores nicely in my bathroom cabinet. The basket holds quite a bit. I tried first cleaning with water only and wasnt getting the sparkle I wanted. I added a bit of Dawn dishsoap and WOW! What a difference! My silver pieces were quite dirty and took a few times through to get the result I wanted. It worked so good that my friend asked to borrow it after seeing how good my things looked. I also ordered one for my mom and she is very impressed with the results.

I like the fact I can clean my jewelry with tap water and dish soap and not having to use chemical. There is hardly any noise and very easy to use.
