Side by Side Comparison of: Magnasonic vs Gemoro

Works extremely well, jewelry came out clean as promised. I'd recommend running everything twice through the machine though (2 sessions of 3 minutes) as that seems to make the jewelry as clean as possible. Oh, and enjoy reading the directions. Seriously, read them. The translations into English are so poor you will actually get some entertainment value reading them. The unit is small and compact so don't feel like you are losing counter space.

It has gotten so expensive to have good jewelry cleaned at the jewelry store, and I tried toothpaste with a toothbrush on my stuff-it was ok. I am so happy we got this machine, very user friendly, just read all directions carefully first to be safe; it does a GREAT job in professional cleaning-I did purchase a cleaning solution with the machine, and diluted the solution with water-got EXCELLENT results in just a few minutes...-if you're on the fence and you love your jewelry go for it, money well worth spent-you will save on cleaning outside in the long run!

Great product. Quality build. Works as advertised. Has a 3 minute timer which is generally adequate for cleaning soap and dirt off jewelry. Stainless steel cleaning chamber. Nice plastic tray to hold your jewelry in the cleaning solution. We did not buy the expensive cleaning solution. Simply put a few cc's of a household cleaner in the stainless tank and add water.

I was a little leary because of many mixed reviews. I actually purchased this on accident as I meant to put it in my wishlist and actually put it in my cart. Best accidental purchase ever! Love this! I threw in 2 platinum necklaces, my wedding ring and some miscellaneous Lia Sophia earrings (knowing full well there was the potential for damage to them based on reviews). Everything turned out fantastic. I did three cycles because of how filthy my jewelry was and they are super sparkling clean. No scrubbing, no fancy cleaning solution. I did one cycle with a drop of dawn dish soap and the other two cycles with nothing other than tap water. I even have friends that will be bringing over their jewelry to try it out and see if they want to buy one too!No I wasn't paid for my review, no I didn't receive a discount - I paid full price and even bought this accidentally. I do love to give honest and true product reviews as I base a lot of my purchases on other peoples reviews. Please let me know if this review was helpful!

My jewelry looks BRAND NEW and soooo shiny! I can easily clean necklaces, my glasses, watches, and earrings at the same time due to the large size! A must buy especially for the price!I took a video but it wouldn't allow me to post it. So I posted a screenshot of my rings after having cleaned them. My camera wouldn't focus that close up in the video but you can clearly see how shiny and sparkling my rings look.

I've only had this about two weeks. So far, I'm extremely satisfied with it. I have it set up in a pull-out drawer with an electrical outlet in my bathroom, and I just drop my jewelry in there and run it while getting ready in the morning. I've cleaned all my husband's glasses as well, and he says that they are super clean. This machine is ridiculously easy to work--plug it in, fill with water, put jewelry in the included basket, and click the ON button. It makes a very quiet buzzing noise to let you know it is working. The sound is very soft--just enough to reassure you that the cycle is still running. Everyone comments on how sparkling my diamond ring is!

My jeweler recommended this to me. I was unsure of it so took a list of 5 different ones in and showed him. After reading the details he recommended this one to me. I couldn't be happier! All my jewelry looks so nice now without constantly having to drive over and have the jeweler clean it. (Saves me money too because every time I go in to the store I find another piece of jewelry that "I NEED"

This is the same quality a professional jeweler would use. it works perfectly the only drawback is that the water does not get hot enough while the jewelry is in the ultrasonic cleaner :( I don't think there's even a heating element in the ultrasonic cleaner which is really a bad thing.

Ok,This thing is great. I had read several bad reviews and was afraid I would get a bad one. I ordered an amazon open box used one. It came and looks brand new. Added the water turned it on and just what I was afraid of it leaked. Waited and used it anyway. Makes jewelry like new. Cleans the grease and grime from under the stone to make it sparkle again. When I let it cool I retightened the lid. Turned it on. No leak. Be sure it's tight the first time and you will be glad you invested in this. Has a sonic cleaner on the top. Tweezers to hold item under steam.Dries quickly

I bought this a couple of months ago after getting engaged and wanting to be able to clean my ring at home. I use it weekly, and love it just as much today as I did the day I got it. Sometimes, I don't use the "steam" function, because my jewelry stays pretty clean. It's easy to use. I typically leave it on my counter so that I can use the same cleaning mixture more than once.

Excellent jewelry cleaner 2-3 times a week. I've been using mine without any problems for a year. Read all the instructions before using and only fill the resavar with 11 oz. of distiller water with the accessories that are included.

I've had jewelry cleaned professionally at the jewelry store, and this machine isn't equivalent to that. But it does a decent job of cleaning glasses and rings, dental night guard/partials, etc. I didn't find it very effective with plain water and after trying that a couple times now use just a single drop of Dawn liquid at the start of the cycle. It's quick, doesn't take up much space to store, and handy to have at home. Definitely easier than jewelry cleaners or polish that require buffing, rinsing, and so on. Good alternative at a very reasonable cost.

It's good, it cleans ok but hoped it cleaned for longer and better. If you plan on cleaning silver jewelry or other items save the hassle and use baking soda with hot water and aluminum foil to get way better results. This cleaner works fine for dental night guards, tooth brushes, plastics and non silver jewelry just fine. Wish it had more modes than on or off. A setting for 2 or 3 sequential cleaning cycles would be ideal. Some dish soap will help clean better, just make sure you rinse it well. Do Not get the device wet besides the tank it can short out.

I use this for cleaning jewelry, retainers, and electric razor components and it works well if paired with a cleaning solution (retainer or jewelry cleaner) but it isn't going to remove deep stains or anything. My retainers seem to be cleaned nearly as well by just using the retainer cleaning tabs by themselves so I don't really know how much this does. However, it's lasted so far (four months about) and done well for almost daily use. Simple and well made.

It is very good at cleaning jewery and such. However it is not as good as a professional cleaning. I submerged my husbands gold ring in the machine and although it did clean it, it did not clean it completely. I took it into the jeweler and had it sized and they cleaned it and you could see the difference. So that is what accounts for the four stars. That being said, I use it to clean my costume jewelry and it does a good job. The watch accessory included wlith the machine is useless because it sticks up out of the water line so that the watch cant get cleaned. So I don't use it, I just throw the watch in and turn it on. Also it cleans in 3 minute increments at a time so you have to push the button over again to extend the cleaning time for as long as it takes to get the right results.

Worked well

I'm very happy with this product, especially given the price. I bought it primarily to clean jewelry and when I tried it with jewelry that was already pretty clean I couldn't really tell the difference after one round. So I decided to test it on a pair of nail clippers that were in visible need of a good cleaning. Used water and a bit of dishwashing liquid. After one round (3 minute cleansing cycle) the water in the machine was dirty so I replaced it and I could already see improvement. It took four or five rounds to get the thing super clean and I had to clean the crevices on the inside with a q-tip. But even that dirt was loosened and easy to remove. The results are pretty amazing. And the water doesn't even get hot! The one annoying thing is that the cleaning cycles are only 3 minutes long. I'd love to just set the machine to say 10 minutes if I have a super dirty item so I don't have to keep resetting it. But this thing definitely works.

Got this for cleaning the jewelry pieces I make in my workshop. I see no vibration whatsoever, but am told that is normal and it is working. So far, so good. Like the steam method, but be sure you read the manual and aren't using the steam on gems that should not be steamed.

My only problem with it is that it leaks quite a bit

works real good!

I really wanted to love this product but we ended up returning it because it just didn't deliver as promised. My wedding ring or glasses for example barely looked cleaner after using this and I really expected more. I'd rather save the money and clean my things in a different and more efficient way.

It gets things cleaner but I am not sure how. It's strange to watch things get cleaner because it doesn't look like anything is happpening beyond it making noise. Sometime I have to clean things 2 - cycles which is why I am giving it a 3 star.

I used this to clean airbrushes and it works okay. I was rough on mine going as far as even using light solvents which ultimately led to this falling apart fairly quickly. It is built of cheap thin plastics but gets the job done for the most part. For what I do I should probably being using a Stainless steel commercial unit. This is why I am giving them 3 stars I feel like under normal household use conditions the product would have lasted years. I did end up buying another one of the same product because the price is right and I need something to hold me over until I find a suitable commercial version.

I was so hopeful that my jewelry would look like it just came from the jewelry store but after multiple tries in the cleaner it was only barely clean. With this being said my jewelry was very dirty. I tried cleaning two rings, a necklace and a bracelet. When I received my jewelry cleaner machine I had not received the Blitz Gem & Jewelry Cleaner Concentrate yet (I added a drop of blue Dawn detergent). Perhaps this will make a difference. I am hopeful.

Overall this little guy was pretty good, and while it didn't clean everything I expected, it's still a pretty useful tool. Basically, if there is heavy buildup, it didn't do so well, even after multiple cycles.It performed well on various pairs of glasses, getting out the dirt and algae build-up with just water and a couple of cycles. I had some articles of silver that cleaned well too.It didn't do so well on a couple of retainers that I had. Even with a bit of dishwashing soap and multiple cycles, there wasn't any noticable improvement in stain removal or build-up. I also had some various coins I tried to clean for fun, but they didn't come out any better.The machine itself works quietly and is easy to clean. The one clean cycle on this model was too short. It tends to heat up after a few cylces, don't know if that's normal, but I was afraid to run it more. I would probably buy one with a larger capacity next time, as well as a model with different,longer cycle lengths.

This cleaner seemed to work fairly well: it was simple to use, cleaned things, and was a breeze to operate. However, the device suddenly quit working after a cycle (I generally ran it twice). I had plugged it in, filled it with water, added the object to be cleaned, turned it on, and left the room. A few minutes after the cycle completed (I had gotten distracted), I went to run the cycle again (only for a portion as the device does have a "Stop" button) but it wouldn't start. I emptied the device, let it dry for a week, then tried operating it again but it was still unable to start.I'm giving this three stars as it did work as intended for a while and my issue may only be an anomaly (given the abundance of other positive reviews).

A bit disappointed. Does not get jewelry that clean. Spray spout seems to be clogged, despite being brand new. Will try to clean the hole, but should not have to do that.

Was wonderful only used it a few times since purchasing in late December 2016. Now working at all, plug it in turn on and trip the GFI switch. I need repair or return info.
Other than my unit not functioning properly I don't think its typical of the product.
Pros: Leaves jewelry looking new. Easy to use and load. Steam is a bit messy but no biggie.
Con: no easy or neat way to empty the sonic cleaning reservoir. Dumping it never goes well.

It defiantly sprays wet steam if you over fill it so if you only keep 5 0z of water it works well

Cleans metal jewelry well, rings and ear rings, but does not make metals SHINE. The literature on Amazon's website clearly states that. Knocks away build up of oils, and makes some stones shine again. There is a pretty substantial list of stones that cannot be cleaned with this machine. Costume jewelry is a big no-no. My machine arrived with a missing part and the light that tells you when the steam is ready to be used has never worked.. I did not make a return. Not sure how long I had to ask for a replacement, but it has been over 3 months since my machine was delivered. Several family emergencies had my attention. Not sure I would make this purchase, if I had it to do over.

The silicone washer inside of the resivoire cap is a horrible design. It broke after 4 refills.
Now it leaks steam. I have to turn it off when not using it or it leaks steam out of the resivoire and I have to constantly refill
POOR design for $200.00...!

You will only see a difference on a very dirty ring. We use this on platinum, gold, silver and copper (rose gold). It won't polish, but will only cleans out the dirt. If you add solution, then it works a lot better. With that being said, you can get the same result by use a microfiber and clean the jewelries with the solution. It's faster and it does not take much effort at all. I am keeping it, but wouldn't recommend it. It does not add value as it does not save you time or money.

I was excited by previous reviews, but when I received the item and tried it out, I saw that it really didn't do much of anything. I followed the directions carefully. It emitted the blue light and made some bubbling noises. I guess it cleaned off some dirt from my gold necklace, but forget anything silver. It does nothing for tarnish. I was very disappointed, and returned the item.

This does work well well for gold, which comes out nice and shiny. But lousy on silver. Even with several cleanings, all of the dirt around the lenses and nose piece was still there. I will get some solution. I did use dish soap but didn't seem to make a difference.

Maybe I bought the one that doesn't work...it did not clean not one piece of jewelry I have. I don't know if it is too late to send back. I have been busy on some volunteer projects and really do not have time to return this right now. Disappointed.

I'm not anywhere close to professional regarding jewelry, but this doesn't work as well as I had expected. The other reviewers seem to know more, so I assume that my use - it's just not made for removing tarnish from silver. I'm sure that it's safer on stones, and maybe metal in general than the fast chemical stones, but I wanted a quick fix, and this wasn't it. I tried adding detergent and even packs of that suggested additive to the water, but it really made no difference, the water wasn't even dirty.

Not worth the money. I get my rings cleaner with plain old soap and water and a soft toothbrush. I put my mom's old wedding ring set in the ultrasonic cleaner and cleaned for two 3 minute cycles. Not much happened. Then I put the same rings in hot soapy water and all sorts of dirt came off. I wanted to return it but I had misplaced the part that holds watches.

It worked well but then instead of just steam coming out it started spitting out hot water instead of steam. It seems to be a common problem with this steamer & there is no way of fixing it. I would hesitate to buy it again

I bought this machine November 2014 after reviewing and researching a lot of machines. Within a month the steam indicator light stopped working. So I usually had to guess when it was ready. I'd usually turn on the ultrasonic and when it was done, usually the steam was ready. Periodically the steam wouldn't work. I'd empty and dry the machine, let it sit a few days then try again. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't. Within the first 6 months, even though I'd frequently drain and dry it, it would start spitting out orange stuff which I figured was rust. Which of course rust on diamonds isn't very flattering. Now a year and a half later, the entire machine no longer works. I'm very disappointed, especially since it worked amazingly well on my jewelry when it was actually working.

Difficult to use and messy.

Too big!!!

did not maintain steam level.

I tried to like this item but unfortunately it did not work for me. I had to run several cycles to get my jewelry clean. If any part of my jewelry was overlapping and not touching the base of the tray it would not get cleaned. I also found I had to clean it with a clean cloth anyway after removing my jewelry from the machine in order to get it clean so it almost felt like double the work.

Does absolutely nothing. I did several experiments using it on silver. Including using it with a cleaning solution. There was NO CHANGE between just the cleaning solution and the cleaning solution with this product. I can't speak to how it works for other items -- it's possible that it's great for something like cleaning your glasses, but I can't see why you wouldn't just use water/a cloth?Thankfully, I was able to get my money back.

This was pretty good... if this lasted more than a few days.I got this last week and used it I think a total of 9 times before the soft buzzing noise became a loud buzzing noise which seems to have lost its ability to clean anything. I used to see vibration on the water surface but ever since it became a loud buzzing noise, nothing is happening to the water and seems like nothing is happening.

I am suprised how much people raved about this item. It did absolutely nothing. I noticed a hum, a microscope movement in the water and that is it. I tried the appliance 4-5 times, just to make sure with the same result. Nothing was cleaned by this product.

Stopped working after 3rd use. Put item I was cleaning in, turned on, did it's thing for 60 seconds - repeated that 3 times - went to use it again, and does nothing - no led, no vibrate. Lasted 180 seconds total.

This product did nothing. The jewelry was exactly the same when it came out, except wet. It made a little buzzing noise when I pressed 'on' but peering in, the water didn't even move. I tried adding soap as suggested. Nothing. This is a waste of $30. Do not buy it.

steamer does not work at all, leaks out of the back and is completely worthless

GemOro 0377 UltraSpa Dual Ultrasonic and Steamer Jewelry Cleaner with 1-Pint Tank Capacity and Gray Slate 50 PSI PressureAbsolutely do not buy this product!!! I even tried cleaning the same piece of jewelry twice in this worthless cleaner to no avail. It is overpriced to begin with but much more importantly it does not do what it is supposed to do which is to clean your jewelry. I put a very simple flat silver bracelet in this machine and it actually came out worse looking than before it was put into the machine to be cleaned. I put the same piece of jewelry into the machine to give it a second chance and it still looked worse than when I put it in machine to begin with.

crap........the steamer lasted a month or two......

After 2 months, it's shorted out. What a waste!

Has completely stopped working. When I first purchased this, the plug seemed a bit tricky and would sometimes not turn on when plugged in. It now does not turn on at all. I have owned this a year and a half and wish I hadn't wasted the money.
