iSonic P4810 Commercial Ultrasonic Cleaner, 2.1Qt/2L, 110V for Brass, Gun Parts, Carburetor Cleaning , white

After using the iSonic 4810, I've found that it performs its job as described, as long as you are using the proper cleaning solutions and methods for your specific items. No ultrasonic cleaner is going to clean everything you throw at it with just water, so you'll have to do a bit of research as to what you're cleaning and what to expect. This cleaner has a few advantages over the competing products with it's 30 minute max cleaning time (big plus), degassing ability (although it's quite rare that you'd need this), and a heating element with automatic shut-off.I have so far tried cleaning brass casings, gun parts, bicycle parts, and silver coins and all have come out with varying degrees of success. When cleaning a heavily greased bicycle chain using some degreaser, the 4810 did a good job, but ended up leaving grease residue on the plastic basket and stainless tub. The stainless tub was easily cleaned, but I wasn't able to completely clean the plastic basket. This was my fault since I should have used a separate disposable plastic container instead of the basket. When cleaning the other bicycle parts, such as the rear derailleur, the outcome was ok, but after 30 minutes, the parts still weren't all that clean. I wasn't expecting much here since the parts were extremely dirty, but it did a better job than I could ever do by hand. Next time I'll try a different solvent and duration.The gun parts came out clean, no difficulty there. The brass casings came out nice and shiny using the enclosed brass cleaner. Again, quick and no difficulty there. As for the silver coins, I first must caution that this should *NOT* be done with valuable coins, unless you know *exactly* what you're doing. I decided to try cleaning some junk silver, specifically cull Morgan and Peace silver dollars using some of the iSonic silver cleaner. It definitely cleaned the coins quite well, but left them looking unnatural. I then tried using some Simple Green, and the cleaning wasn't nearly as good, but left the coins looking brighter and more natural.As far as the customer service, I contacted iSonic to see about getting a replacement basket for the 4810 (because I stained mine with grease), and got a quick response and the replacement a few days later. I don't foresee any problems with the cleaner, but if I do run into trouble, it's good to know customer service is available and ready to help.

I use this primarily to clean a 22 cal suppressor and it makes the job effortless. I just put the baffles in some CLR in a zip lock back run the ultra sonic cleaner for 3-4 30 minute cycles and all i have to do is wipe off the baffles, put a thin coat of CLP, and job complete. The combination of clr and the ultrasonic cleaner makes this job so easy. Just make sure not to put aluminum or titanium in the clr cause it might damage the finish.

same thing as the hornady cleaner so save some money and skip the decals and black paint. works well for brass but more than 100 or so 9mm cases and the results start to go down. its got the physical size and capacity, but if you load up too many cases it just doesn't do as well so several small batches over one big one. its fairly quiet but also loud in a similar way to white noise if that makes any sense. i've also used it to clean a leatherman and some jewelry. it works well but its not quite the wonder product i was hoping for. still, its well made and i can't really complain.

This iSonic Ultrasonic cleaner is perfect. It cleans my brass better then any tumbler can. The brass solution made for this ultrasonic cleaner works wonders. I have also experimented with the 1/2 water - 1/2 white vinegar - 1 drop of dish soap solution which seems to do the job. It just takes a little longer and doesn't come out as clean, but it is cheaper to do. I tend to only load the basket 1/3 to 1/2 of the way full. I have heard that the more you put in here, the less clean it gets. I find this to be true as well. 1/3 to 1/2 full seems to be the right amount (for 9mm brass shells).I always used to clean my brass at my fathers house with his tumbler but since I now have this Ultrasonic cleaner and knows that it works very good, I think I will buy him one soon too.One thing I didn't like with the tumbler and corn husk is how it would get packed in the primer hole or in the shell casing. I always did my best in cleaning all of this out by paying close attention and to poking a metal rod down through the primer hole but there would be misfires due to corn husk getting lodged in the primer hole. I have also had it pack down at the bottom of the shell so much that the primer wasn't able to ignite the gun power. I don't have to worry about this anymore! :)I pop the primers before putting them through the ultrasonic cleaner so the primer holes also get cleaned. After the brass comes out of the ultrasonic machine, I normally run a primer brush through the primer holes that still hold a little bit of residue to get them fully clean.The heater in mine heats the water up so much I can't touch the brass until I have rinsed it under warm water. I do start with hot tap water and have the heater running the whole time as I have read this helps the cleaning process.If you are in the market for a good ultrasonic cleaner, I would highly recommend this one.

I purchased 4 months ago.Initially the product performed very well as an ultrasonic bath for cleaning parts.Now at 4 months, I have used for about 10-15 hrs over this time period.The plastic on the control panel and lid is cracked and coming away. It is still operational for the time being, but it is likely to fail soon of give me an electric shock. Its time to replace with a more robust metal ultrasound bath.
