I also have a 15L. It's been put to good use since I bought it. One of the best shop equipment investments

I've been running this in it (diluted of course)

Wow... looked on Ebay. so many there

I bought this one in 2019 on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Stainless-Steel-10L-Industry-Heated-Ultrasonic-Cleaner-Heater-w-Timer-New/282491358889?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
I also have one of the Harbor Freight units, but it is only powerful enough for small parts like jets. The 10 liter unit takes up bench space I don't have to spare, so I keep it out in the shed until needed. I just use distilled water and a few drops of Dawn or a lab cleaner called Micro 90. There are things such as varnish from old fuel that aren't attacked well by this. I use acetone or carb cleaner first, then put it in the ultrasonic.

They all probably come out of the same factory...

I have the same one as Jones. It's great.

Personally I'd buy the biggest one I could afford. That's what I did the first time, but I wish I could have afforded bigger. lol

They are so handy for all sorts of stuff.

I agree with probably same manufacture. This is what I got.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/15L-Ultrasonic-Cleaner-Stainless-Steel-Industry-Heated-Heater-w-Timer/184441080210?

Yup those that have been through this always come out saying "bigger is better"

With that in mind...
This is the one I have decided on.
Thank everyone for the input!

Avoid the Rovsun units as that was my first one and only lasted about 11 months before it burned out. It did have a 1 yr warranty so lucked out there. It was a small 3L unit. I next went with a 6.5L unit by Kaimachi and it is a much nicer ultrasonic and it is still going strong! Gets lots of usage too. Both purchased off Amazon. Get one that has the drain port/ petcock too. Mine is the perfect size to clean master cylinders and brake calipers which is my main use for it.

600W ultrasonic power is good, and it appears to have coil type transducers, which should be more robust (but perhaps less efficient) than piezo elements. I once had an abused unit tossed out from work that we had to seal holes in the tank where lazy techs had just lain parts directly in it and turned it on over the weekend. The parts chewed their way through the tub. We were able to clean the circuit board, weld the holes, and it lasted for two sets of GoldWing carbs, a set of CB750F carbs, and quite a few pistol parts (my co-worker's) before the CB750F did it in. I think it had 750W ultrasonic power, and both piezo and coil transducers. Piezos work great, but can be delicate as they are very brittle.

Yep, it is good for hand guns too!  8) Amazon sells a little basket for all the small parts that only uses a minimum of space on the tank.

I've cleaned our silverware, cast iron pans, sauce pans, oven grates, brake calipers, carburetors, various machined parts, children's toys. If it fits, you can clean it. It's one of those tools that even the wife thinks is cool.
