LifeBasis CDS-100 Ultrasonic Cleaner Jewellery Cleaner 600ML

I liked that the lid is removable so there’s no issues with the hinge going on the ultrasonic cleaner, the timing is in seconds so 90 is 1min 30 seconds , definitely works for the glasses, but make sure there’s no coating on the glasses. easy to use and clean.

Absolutely brilliant. I don’t understand how ir works but can say first hand that it does… and very well. Used on the wife’s wedding and engagement rings and her glasses and it does a cracking job. Great!

This is really easy to use and has made cleaning my jewellery a much easier – and regular – task. Extremely simple to use and does an excellent job. Would recommend. My boyfriend wasn’t convinced when I brought it but it works wonders on his watch too, so he’s converted. Does a very, very good job.

I wish I’d taken before and after pictures but I didn’t. However, I bought it to save one of my daughters some money and hassle getting some delicate silver cleaned and to clean the gold ring of the other daughter.
Well the ring was truly eye opening as it was as though it had just been bought (it hadn’t been cleaned for 20 years). The other silver jewellery improved but wasn’t outstanding until I put it in for a little longer and added some washing up liquid – it came out like new! My daughter was so impressed she wanted to try an engagement ring – that too came out brilliantly.
So, it definitely works and is significantly cheaper than taking items to the jewellers to clean and less intrusive/abrasive etc. than using a brush or cloth.

Was amazed as to how much grime was removed from my watch strap. Easy to use, needs only tap water, though you could use the cleansing solutions. Very quiet operation & simple to set up. 5*****+ all round!!!

The reason I stress the word ‘proper’ in the title, is that there are a lot of imitation ‘ultrasonic’ cleaning baths on the Amazon website. Those cheap devices are usually battery operated and simply contain a DC motor, driving a spindle with an offset weight at the end. Spinning the motor causes the liquid inside the bath to vibrate, just as the same kind of device causes your mobile phone to vibrate. The LifeBasis CDS-100 on the other hand, is a genuine ‘proper’ Ultrasonic Cleaner. It contains a 44kHz ultrasonic generator in the base, which causes cavitation inside the cleaning bath liquid. This cavitation caused millions of microscopic bubbles to form and burst inside the cleaning fluid, creating a gentle, but very efficient cleaning effect. If you have never used an ultrasonic bath cleaner before, you will be very impressed with how well they clean all kinds of things, from earrings, necklaces, watch straps, shaver heads, cosmetic brushes. If you are new to these kinds of machines, just be aware that they work best using distilled water containing a small amount of cleaning solvent. There are different solvents for different types of items you wish to clean. For example, reading/sun glasses have a specific solvent, to break down body oil. The reason I went with the LifeBasis CDS-100 was because Lifebasis specialise in manufacturing these kinds of devices. So they know what they are doing. The CDS-100 is a lovely, compact unit. The bath can accommodate two pairs of reading glasses, or a single pair of ‘aviator’ style sunglasses. It comes supplied with a watch holder arch, to allow you to clean the strap of a water resistant watch. Although, if your watch is guaranteed waterproof, you can safety place the whole watch straight inside the bath liquid. The CDS-100 has multiple cleaning cycle durations, from 1 minute to 10 minutes and a cooling fan to help the ultrasonic generator run efficiently. The machine produces a very distinct buzzing noise while running, but is not noisy. For any gents that have never used this kind of cleaner before, you will be amazed at how clean your shaver heads come out. But you may need to add a few drops of something like Wahl cutter oil on to the heads after an ultrasonic clean, as the cleaner is very effective.

This item is an absolute gem, it works much better than anticipated. I have used it with jewellery cleaning liquid because my watch hasn’t been cleaned in 4 years and my omega came out good as new! When you turn it on you can literally see the dirt and grease melting away, the colour of the water after cleaning confirms it. Before I was never able to clean my silver necklace, which is made of intricate silver links, with plenty of nooks and crannies, I could not believe my eyes, when I saw this thing getting off years of dirt in 60 seconds.
It is easy to use and store, and all my jewellery and glasses came out perfect, Best Buy yet!

Having experimented with a number of items and added a small amount of fairy washing up liquid in warm water. I found the following results.
Glasses – good job, cleaned well
Sunglasses- cleaned well but took off some of the coating that protects the eyes from the sun. So destroyed their protection.
1 coins- had little to no effect on cleaning, better off using coke
Keys- same as 1 coins

Next I’ll try chandelier tears, which was the main reason for the purchase. I’ll update review afterwards.
