Commercial Ultrasonic Cleaner-DK SONIC 3L 120W Sonic Cleaner

I use this as part of the process of cleaning jewellery and silverware after using polish. It works quite effectively to remove any last bits of tarnishing or polish residue. The only downside is that it can take a while to heat up.

I have considered buying one of these for years, and recently took the plunge when I needed to clean a carburettor on garden equipment. Manual cleaning was not working. Fifteen minutes in the ultrasonic tank, the engine started at the first pull. It has paid for itself already, and we will be using for less demanding tasks now, which it does very effectively.

I bought this ultra sonic cleaner to treat some brass models, it is simple to use and is made mainly from stainless steel. the amazon advert shows the internal dimensions of the chamber but the size of the holding basket is as follows length 210mm width 110mm depth 65mm size of the mesh squares is 9mm. The instruction booklet has tiny writing so be prepared! The type of liquid to be used is left up to you and this has become a project on its own, at the moment I am using Coca-Cola to clean the parts. One further point is that the liquid used takes a long time to reach a set heat, so set this well before you set the time.

I’m slightly sceptical regarding cheap ultrasonic cleaners to be honest. I have used proper commercial ones on ships to clean fuel injector nozzles and even these struggle a bit.

However, I had a carburettor to clean on a bike I’d had stashed in a shed forever while I renovated a house and figured for the price I’d give it a go. It’s quite surprising the amount of gunk in the carb thanks to numb-nuts here not draining the fuel out when I put the bike to one side.

One thing apart from the price attracted me to this unit and that it actually looks like a workshop cleaner not a tarted up plastic thing you often see. I know that’s not necessarily the best way to buy something but I figured it was a good starting point.

When I got this – and bearing in mind I paid just over 100 – I was more than surprised at how well made it is. Really. It does give a better impression of quality than the price suggests and looks perfectly at home in my workshop.

So, in the box you get the ultrasonic cleaner with basket inside, instructions and a premoulded UK plug. Simple and easy.

To use, put the cleaner of your choice in – I used carb cleaner for these baths – and then turn it on and chose how long and how hot.

For me that was simply the max on both. Realistically I can’t see any real benefit of not just maxing this out as it’s not likely to vibrate anything into atoms like some massive industrial job.

And it did a fine job of removing the gunk from the carb. Okay, I couldn’t get the whole unit in but the important manky bits were submerged and it worked fine. I do recall I ran it twice through at the end of which it was very clean indeed.

So, bottom line is that for the money, this is a cracking bit of kit.

This machine is large enough for your spectacles but compact enough to be stowed away in a small cupboard. It is simple to use and maintain and works reasonably well with a small drop of washing-up liquid in a fill of tapwater – though you may wish to use one of the specialist additives available. The noise others have complained of seems to be partly due to the clockwork timer drive: I imagine the electronically-timed alternative may be quieter but the noise is not very obtrusive and can be easily avoided by starting the machine and adjourning for a cup of tea and a biscuit – (a recommended way of timing the process remotely). The built-in heater is a boon and, provided care is taken, much improves the results and speed of operation. Early days, but so far good results and good value for money. Recommended.

The ultrasonic bath by DK is well manufactured and easy to use, giving great results. I had a problem with mine shortly after purchasing, however the company was very positive and quick to react. Communications were very good and they resoled the issue without fuss. After Sales service is extremely good.

The size is perfect for a bench in the shed i bought the to clean brass cases it dose a fantastic job

I purchased this sonic cleaner for my 3D printing business doing resin printing. The large volume and depth makes cleaning larger prints easy. The wire basket helps to keep your prints above any goo on the bottom of the vat. The drain outlet is very handy for cleaning out the machine.

All in all a great machine, robust, easy to use and idela for cleaning high volume or large items.
