CREWORKS 1.8L Professional Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine with Heater & Timer | Digital Jewelry Ultrasonic Cleaner with 20-80C Heat and 1-30 min Timer, 304 Stainless Tank for Jewelry Glasses

This thing is great! WHERE HAS THIS BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE?! Here is me using this with hot water and dish soap to clean my two year olds toys (which it works great for by the way). You can run batches of toys through this which has greatly helped my wife’s sanity as well as my own. Keeps all his stuff clean, just be careful not to put anything too delicate in because there were certain toys you could tell it started to take paint off. Tough to show in the video, but you literally watch the dirt and crap come off which is incredibly satisfying. Just rinse them off and leave out to dry and your good to go. Anyways! I am always working on cars, motorcycles, and anything else I feel I have a reason to disassemble. I was tired of having to clean things by hand especially intricate stuff. I have to say this works a treat. If any of you poor souls reading this have ever had to clean a carburetor, this is for you. This is big enough I can fit my whole rack of four carbs from my 1980 Yamaha xs1100 in it. Which is absurdly fantastic. I’ve used it to clean many items like firearms, intakes, dirty or rusted hardware, car bracketry. Basically whatever I didn’t want to clean myself. AND it does it while you go figure out what to do next. It’s amazing. Pro tips: Make little brackets that hold the basket up and keep the feet OFF OF THE BOTTOM. Ultrasonic cleaners (especially ones that use cheaper transducers, the things that make the ultrasonic waves) don’t like when things are placed on the bottom of the pan. The transducers will eventually vibrate themselves off the bottom of the pan. Fill the tank with water. “Degas” it when it has new water by running it for 15 minutes with nothing in it. Fill small containers with cleaners and put parts in those, AND THEN put those containers in the ultrasonic which is filled with water. This way you don’t use as much cleaner and saves you money. Gasoline works great on grimed up hardware and pretty much anything else due to the detergents in it. It’s also very cheap. Be careful that what you put in it doesn’t have seals that may swell. Or any other cleaner for that matter. Make sure the level of water is between the taper in the tub (the tub has a part near the top where it lofts outward a bit). Keeping enough liquid in the machine will allow the machine to work better and more importantly, last longer. If it also has TOO MUCH it won’t work as effectively. If your time is valuable like mine, don’t bother using the heater to heat the water up. Put some water in a pot and get it hot on the stove and pour it into the tub. It’s way faster, and this way the heating feature on the machine can maintain the heat and won’t overwork the heating element either. The effects of evaporust are catalyzed in an ultrasonic. It works very well and works very fast. Don’t expect miracles and for the machine to clean off an 1/8” of grime and crud from items. Scrape a bulk of the trash off then toss it in and it will do the rest. This will still save you time, money, and your sanity. It is amazing how clean it makes stuff. As someone who prefers to make old shit into new shit, it’s a life saver. I hope this helps someone!

Very nice cleaner for under $50. It is a decent size and seems easy to clean. I haven’t had to clean it because I use glass jars to prevent the inside from getting dirty but overall well worth it. The temperature control for the water seems a bit off. It reads a bit higher than the actual water temp. But for under $50 it works well and is built well.

This ultrasonic did a great job cleaning my parts, you will need to hook up a drain hose to drain out the water and cleaner, it’s really heavy when filled to the proper level. Read the instructions well before use and follow carefully for a good end result

I have about 6 hours use so far on this cleaner and I am very happy with it. I purchased it to clean certain auto parts such as a carburetors, fuel pumps, etc. I got the 15L unit so I can even use with a bigger part. It is a bit slow to heat up but once it gets there it works well. You are limited to a maximum 30 minute cycle, but that works out great for me. Does a great job with just water and some simple green.

I have always deep cleaned my guns the hard way, which was complete disassembly, lots of scrubbing with a toothbrush, and some good degreaser. The problem with that is you always spot some grime you missed in the nooks and crannies. I bought this product hoping it would relieve me of some work. I wasnt disappointed in the least. My test gun is a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm that hasnt been cleaned for years. I mean allot of years. I got it cheap, and knew it was going to be nasty inside due to the lack of maintenance, and the guy carried it in a very dusty environment. I used Zep citrus degreaser ( bought on amazon) with this machine, and about a 6:1 water to degreaser ratio. I ran each batch of parts for 10 minutes in the solution I had mixed and heated. I used plastic 30ml medicine cups with a nickel in the bottom of each to hold the small parts like pins, and springs. The results are amazing. All the parts were spotless. For those of you who dont know, the M&P Shield has a sear disconnect lever that is painted yellow. This machine took of 100% of that paint off, now the part is just shiny chrome. It did NOT remove some exterior rust on the barrel near the muzzle, but I wasnt using the correct solvent for that, so I wasnt expecting it to do so. Also its worth noting that the unit came with a small clamshell basket of the type commonly used in dishwashers. It works great for small parts, and is a really thoughtful freebie. Overall I am very pleased. Though the machine is not silent, my cussing was kept to a minimum due to the easy way this thing works, so overall it was quieter. My dogs were right next to it and didnt even notice it, but they did notice I was eating a sandwich, well, WE were eating a sandwich. If you purchase used firearms, and even some new ones of Turkish origin, this thing will save you much work. Thanks for a great product!

Works better than expected. Cleaned diesel injectors using CLR. Attached before and after pictures.

I purchase a lot of tiny plastic toys in bulk, and this speeds up the process in cleaning small plastic parts - although in shorter batches, but more thoughoughly. For ABS plastic, warm antibacterial soapy water alone does wonders, and I run it at 40C/104F for 5 minutes for most batches. UV prints and stickers remain undamaged, as well as cloth capes. You'll need a little laundry mesh bag for delicates or something similar to keep pieces from floating or sinking below the included basket, and makes it easy to remove everything and toss in the next bag. I'm no longer going through a warm soak process that lasts hours with occasional agitation and tooth brushes for hard to reach places - this is a time saver. There is a minor issue with the temperature sensor and heating element, in that you'll often see it +/- 2 degrees from the target temperature. Another minor issue is having to manually reset the timer after each cycle, rather than resetting on its own. The sound is not too loud, but can get annoying if you sit next to it. The lid amplifies the sound, so you may want to get rubber feet or a rubber seal for the lid if you use it. I also have this setting on a rubber mat to help with the sound, but the rubber feet already deafen the sound which makes this unnecessary. A door to a separate room is fairly effective at blocking most of the noise as long as you have some music or background sound to take your mind off of it. You may need a hose and a hose clamp to drain water to a nearby sink, which is not included. A tea ball strainer is recommended if you are cleaning small parts such as earrings or necklaces.

I'm not here to hate on this ultrasonic It's only $50 even though about a year ago when I purchased mine it was more like 65 or $70. I bought the small two or three liter version I forget exactly but that didn't really matter what matters is it's lifespan which was horrible. I have a lot of experience with using ultrasonics because I was a bench jeweler for 20 years and we used them all day every day. But not being able to afford a decent $800 unit this thing was very appealing especially at its price point and I did not need a very big one cuz I was only using it to clean jewelry not any major auto parts like a carburetor or anything like that. I mentioned earlier that I have a lot of experience using ultrasonics only because I want to make sure that folks understand that I know how to properly use one of these machines without giving it any chance to get damaged in any way. Basically it's not that hard just follow the instructions but make sure to follow the instructions Don't overfill your water past the fill line In fact if you don't need to fill your water that high don't just fill it enough that it will completely cover whatever it is you're cleaning If you're cleaning just some small jewelry parts I would still fill it up at least a third to halfway only because you don't want to risk burning up the heating mechanism. That brings me to the second part of the directions that you must follow never run this thing dry always make sure you have at least a third of a tank of water in there before you plug it in and turn the heating mechanism on. The real deal ultrasonics that cost anywhere between 800 to unfortunately a couple thousand dollars actually will heat your water up from room temperature to however hot you set the temperature to. These little cheap ultrasonics and I'm not just calling out Creworks on this issue but probably just about every budget ultrasonic that claims to be "self heating" or "heated" I would be very weary of what that claim actually means. If you want it to heat up to whatever temperature you said it to it's going to take some time some real time like possibly an hour or more depending on how much room temperature water you put in it to go from room temperature to your desired heat. You should always preheat your water not quite to boiling as a lot of people suggest but pretty darn hot then add it to your ultrasonic and turn your heater on after you plug it in It works much better at maintaining already heated water then actually heating up the water itself which is kind of a letdown because it's a whole other step that takes time if you do it on your stove top specifically. I suppose you could heat your water in the microwave much faster but still what's the point when it's supposed to heat itself up? Still that is not a big deal who cares right So you got to heat up your own water as long as it maintains the heat I'm cool with that for 50 bucks. This is my real true complaint about this specific ultrasonic itself. I followed the directions to a t each time I've used it which was only 3 times it worked great all three times. The fourth time I went to use it I heated up my water, added the water to the unit, plugged in the unit, turned the heater on and set it to my desired temperature, then was ready to start cleaning but after setting the timer on the ultrasonic I pushed the on button that actually starts the ultrasonic and unfortunately nothing whatsoever turned on. That was it after only 3 uses of this ultrasonic unit it was dead and gone for good. I noticed that it does come with a spare fuse so I we t ahead and switches it out even though you could clearly see that the original fuse was fine and wasnt even close to looking blown or burnt. Without having to tell you the outcome obviously that didn't fix the problem. The problem was the train due switch had already gone to crap and I treated that thing like it was a very fragile crystal bowl. I took wonderful care of it and it crapped out on me after only getting to use it 3 times. So on that 4th attempt to use it when I discovered it was broken I had used it so speringly up to that point it was wayyyy past Amazon's 30 day money back guarantee and what really sucked is that it was just about 1 month past Creworks 1 year manufacturer's warranty. But I was going to try and contact Creworks anyway and see if they would be willing to do me some kind of solid, I wasn't expecting them to replace it I was kind of hoping I could send it into them and they would repair it for me That was also a no but after a few emails back and forth between me and one of the customer service agents I got my final email from them and it was titled Great news we have the replacement parts you need so I was excited and I clicked on it and began to read what needed to be done and how I needed to go about getting these replacement parts. After about the second or third sentence I realized that the great news was actually pretty crappy news yeah sure they had the replacement parts I needed to fix it on my own but the great news to them was and I quote we have the parts you need to replace in stock for only $34.99 and we will send them to you. They seriously expected me to pay $35 to replace the crappy transducers that broke after three uses when I can literally buy another brand new unit for 15 more dollars which I was not even considering doing. I took a chance on CreeWorks because it had a lot of decent reviews maybe I got a dud I'm not sure but I will never buy one of their products again specifically because they were not willing to cut me any kind of deal to replace parts that should not have broken after three uses. That's like losing $10 and paying somebody $7.50 to get the $10 back but you're actually paying $17.50 for that $10 if that makes any sense to y'all. It appears in the world of inexpensive cheap but industrial "looking"ultrasonics on Amazon the two major players are Creworks and Vevor. I don't have any experience with Vevor but they come with pretty decent reviews just about equal to what kree works has on most of their models. I doubt I'll ever buy a Vevor though I've come very close several times because I really need an ultrasonic and not one of those little plastic things that you put your dentures or your glasses in I mean a real ultrasonic that is made out of 304 Steel that does make an obnoxiously loud rattling sound because those are the only ones that actually work. And having a heater or no heater isn't even an option for me You have to have a heated unit if you really want to get your stuff clean it's a no-brainer. It's also a major no-brainer to avoid this Creworks ultrasonic and their greedy customer service. I apologize This is probably the most negative for you I've ever given on anything but I can't get past them wanting to charge me $35 to fix a $50 unit and fix it myself I've never taken one of these apart I mean I'm sure it comes with instructions but they weren't even willing to let me send it in and then fix it for me for $35 They wanted to send me the parts and I attempt to do some I assume soldering and whatever the hell else It takes to replace a transducer. No thank you I will be buying an ultrasonic sooner or later but I think I'm going to have to cough up at least four or $500 just to be safe. The good thing about spending that kind of money on one is you know what you're getting and you know that it's going to last if you take care of it.

Works great. But I should have got a bigger one.

Does the job, slightly smaller interior than I was looking for.

Carnt use this machine as it 110v and not 240v

Bought to clean the carburettors from my motorcycle which were all gummed up with stale fuel, cleaned the residue without any damage to the castings and the brass jets. The cleaner has performed very well and if anything has exceeded my expectations, well worth the cost and has paid for itself in savings by doing this job myself instead of paying a third party to do the cleaning for me.

Works better than expected. Noisy, but it is on a timer and in my garage so no issue. Used to clean oily and dirty parts. Great results!
