Side by Side Comparison of: Magnasonic vs TruPower

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!

Very well made unit with stainless steel tank and outside case. Have used it quite a bit already and seems more powerful than the cleaner I replaced. Have no regrets over this purchase.

Excellent Excellent

This product cleans old dirty watches super super well. It will get the dirt out of small corners and cracks. However if your watch is scratched this will not substitute a polishing. Overall really happy with the product and recommend you buy a soap cleaner to put in the liquid that's recommended.

I used to have one of the relatively inexpensive, oval, plastic-with-a-steel-basin, on/off switch cleaners for cleaning watch parts. That one died on me, probably because it was not meant for multiple runs with little to no downtime. This left me looking for a replacement with, hopefully, sturdier parts. Since I did not need a large one and getting a big name scientific or industrial model was prohibitively expensive, this unit seems to fit my needs and budget.At $129, this is not something you would want to use for occasional home use. Go for one of the cheaper, household units on the market. The heating function is nice as well as the built in thermometer. The ability to specify the cleaning time is one of the features I wanted. Though limited to one minute increments, you can set the unit to run from 1 to 30 minutes. I just put in my glasses as a comparison to the old unit and I could see the grunge flying off as soon as I started the unit. As another reviewer noted, it is a lot louder than a household model, but at least I can tell when the cleaning cycle is over.It came with a steel basket, lid and power cord. To dampen the noise, I cut a square of kitchen mat and placed it on top of the unit while it runs. This only helped a little, but did cut out the higher harmonics when you are close by. If you need to clean smaller parts, instead of shelling out for an expensive mesh basket, I find that a large, fine mesh tea ball works great.I have only had this for about a week, but it is getting the watch parts cleaned. Hopefully, this one will last me for years.

This item is small; you are startled when you open the box. However, it is a durable, efficient little cleaner. I use it with a splash of Simple Green to clean my eyeglasses and my bicycle chains (which I disconnect regularly using a quicklink and a Park tool), and occasionally I use it for other bike parts: pedals, shifters, etc. I might someday purchase a larger unit, but for now it does the job reliably. I have owned it for about 6 months and used it several hundred times at least.

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.

It's a bit noisy but it works well. Just be careful that the water doesn't drop while the heater is on. It will discolor the basin.

This does a great job on jewelry but using it daily loosens the stones in your most precious rings, necklaces and earrings. We took 7 pieces of jewelry for the 6 month guarantee and 6 pieces of jewelry had loose diamonds... Using it weekly may be a better choice.

It's a decent unit. I use mine mainly to clean my valves on my scuba tanks. The size only allows me to do one at a time. I also clean some firearm parts in it and again, the size is not the best. I don't really knock it down for that as I had the measurements when I ordered it. I can't seem to find a good unit that has a longer dimension with out getting very expensive. I wish it was wider or longer and not quite as deep and it would be more functional for my needs.Operation is simple and solid. Mine warms up okay, it's not instant heat but not hours either. I am not sure how much heating works and several of my buddies like to debate that. What I do like is the long timer. Many units only go for 5 or 6 minutes and you have to keep starting it again.I don't use it all that often, but over the last year it has held up.

the ultrasonic power is good i'm using it to clean fuel injectors butthe heating element takes 30 minutes to reach from 27 to 40 degrees

This is a solid sturdy well built unit. Use it often. Only reason not 5 stars is the temperature will continue to rise if recycled. For cleaning jewlery though this should not be a problem unless plastic is involved. Then just glance at the water temp and let it rest for a few minutesand all is good again.

This a well-built unit with a nice user interface. It does a good job on small size objects. I need to add a larger sized USC with higher wattage US. I had envisioned the 2-liter size to be larger than it is. The illustration should show a common object in the basket to provide a visual gauge of actual size.

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).

The pictures don't adequately reflect just how small this model is. I unboxed it and looked it over. Then, I repackaged everything and sent it back. I purchased the 6 liter Kendal model, instead. It's all about what you hope to clean with it. For me, it was bicycle and handgun parts. This model was simply too small for my intended use, and now that I have a model with a drain spigot on it, I am soooo glad I sent this one back.

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.

Only runs for 360 seconds

I had high hopes for this cleaner but it really should have lasted much longer than a few weeks. Maybe the transducer is just a piece of crap.

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.

Defective. Sputtering transducer start, worked for a few minutes, turned it off, another sputtering start and worked for a while, then turned it off and transducer would not start again. Obviously not tested before shipment. I probably would have requested exchange, but was saved from this by the fact that a refund was the only option from this vendor. I don't have the confidence to order another one. Really a shame, because it seemed like a well built unit.Amazon return and refund was effortless.

I needed an ultrasonic cleaner to clean chainsaw carburetors, unfortunately, I choose this one.The heat takes hours to warm up.You need to turn it on first thing in the morning to have any hope of using later in the day.It worked well after it finally warmed up.Sadly after about a year, the heater quit altogether and the reset function didn't even last that long.I threw it in the metal recycling bin, just money wasted.

Hi, this device makes too much noise. I use another ultrasonic cleaner for my dentures and that one is not as noisy as this one. I am also concerned with the ultrasonic power it has, is it harmful? I don't know. I was planning to use this for my baby bottles.

Everyone else likes this; but it doesn't even cause the water to shiver with the cage in place. I also tried the aluminium foil test (bubbles around foil) and the pinky test (does it hurt your finger when moved around). Nada... zip...must be a less than stellar transducer. At least Amazon has a great return capability.UPDATED.... Clearly a defective unit after seeing other cleaners on Youtube. SRA does not cover return shipping on defective products so I am out return shipping on this. Just short of a rip-off. But buried in the details they do state that you have to pay return shipping. I assumed because it was defect they would cover the return. BE Warned!!!
