I regret buying this last time it was up. The steam doesn’t work, its just broken. The ultrasonic cleaner barely cleans anything, it’s just not strong enough. The uv lights came on, but with the way the rest of this piece of shit works, it’s probably just a blue light.
I got this last time to clean little knives and stuff mostly. I put my little pocket multi tool in it and didn’t think a whole lot was going on. But holy crap, I put my glasses – which, although they have some miles on them, I thought were reasonably clean – in the ultrasonic tank and the cloud of funk that came off of them was astonishing.
But be careful. I treated the tortoiseshell frames to a steam cleaning and it left a hazy white residue that I had to polish off.
If you need to clean anything jewelry like or at least submersible and small enough to fit in a 3 by 6 inch tub this is a functional piece of gear for less than the Hazard Fraught ultrasonic cleaner, and the steam and UV functions are just bonuses. The biggest limitation is the small size of the tank - you’re not going to clean anything much larger than a pair of glasses in it.
@djslack Good to know the size. I’ve used these before for cleaning bike parts. Most would fit in a tub that size. It does take a while (hours?) and I see this shuts off after 5 minutes so it might be a little tiresome.
Meh buyers are making the (false) assumption that their customers have jewelry worth cleaning. They must have forgot about all of the Pacific Pearls.they sold us.
@Evansdoor yeah, but, my dentist told me that if I used one of these (types of) things to clean my night guard it would degrade it really quickly, and in that case, she’d charge me for making a new one (guard.) She said to clean it with an antibacterial mouthwash (as a rinse) every morning, fwiw.

Looking at the pic first, and the title second, I thought it was some sort of toaster that made coffee, so once I realized what it actually was, I got disappointed.
speaking of “good vibrations” I ran across this in my search for Brian Wilson as I am travelling to NJ (from Kentucky to see him in person at the BERGEN PAC in Englewood NJ next week)…awesome watch as it is the lost sessions…
I hope this can get the hand sanitizer out of my ring. Right now, I just let the water hit it in the shower but I know that doesn’t get it as clean as the jeweler.
Got mine in. Was definitely used before. The steaming area is splattered with gunk, the ultrasonic pan was scratched up, the plastic lid on top was scratched up, and inside the water reservoir tank was covered with a thick white crust (probably calcium… I hope…)
Stay away! 2 out of 3 functions DO NOT WORK. The worse part is that after 3 attempts to contact MEH for return instructions or replacement I have not received a response.
@copacabana Well that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Try contacting them on twitter or something as well. Might have better luck there. Especially with a public tweet where you @ them.

Decent. These things make diamonds spark amazing.
You can use these to “age” alcohol apparently:
@Zeusandhera I wanted to hate this as a piece of shit just cause but you have given me a reason.
Will this work on papier mache?
@gertiestn Papie-eh Mach-eh What is papier machey???
@Alderuen GEORGE IS GETTIN’ UPSET
So this is a jewel of a product?
Also makes a great cappuccino
@mehcuda67 my espresso maker has a steam wand; it just got a new purpose.

@JekiTheRogue Thank you for your frank review.
@JekiTheRogue @tweezak the steam works but its weird, you have to hit the button a few times when it turns red and then it will randomly steam.
Is it sad that I’m considering this as a cheap alternative to lab cleaning equipment?
@seraphimcaduto yes, it’s sad. Remind me to not trust those lab results as much.
@seraphimcaduto Breaking Bad?

@djslack if you want a parts cleaner

Clean your bling!
Irk wears shoes?
I’d want it in a bigger size to clean motorcycle parts…
Morningsave shoppers need this for all the jank-ass jewelry they’ve bought that has turned green.
@medz Hmm but it might melt the cheap glue holding that crap together

It does what it says. But it’s big. The vibration mode does a great job on my night guard and mouth guards with a dental wash.
Never used the other features.

@cbl_wv @Evansdoor Mine said soak in vinegar once a week and lightly brush it daily (without toothpaste).
So this is what you buy - if you don’t have a jeweler you trust - to clean your jewels?
Nope. I’d need some jewelry first.
will it clean the family jewels? (asking for friend)

Ok, so, how does it make the coffee?
@InnocuousFarmer
Looking at the pic first, and the title second, I thought it was some sort of toaster that made coffee, so once I realized what it actually was, I got disappointed.
@InnocuousFarmer Looks to me like the coffee comes out of the watch band.
@blaineg Ah I see it now. Some kind of ring-flavored watchoffee. Strange things they sell on this site.
No thanks. The dirt and gunk on my jewelry is part of its charm.
What kind of a filthy animal are you if your necklaces look like this??
@Pufferfishy it looks to me like they dipped everything in espresso before they cleaned it
Who can afford jewelry?
FYI, if you are considering this; here is a link to the instruction manual. It tells you what stones you can or cannot use in this machine https://img.hsni.com/images/content/pdf/488525_UserGuide.pdf

At first glance I thought this thing was a nespresso machine.
I hope this can get the hand sanitizer out of my ring. Right now, I just let the water hit it in the shower but I know that doesn’t get it as clean as the jeweler.

Just… Ugh.
I haven’t tested it yet.
@Bandrik wow, that sucks. Mine from the previous sale appeared to be brand new. Maybe that’s what the extra $5 got me.
Well I cleaned out the reservoir tank with vinegar. Did the trick, dissolving most of the mineral buildup.
Gave it a test. Ultrasonic, UV, and steam all worked. Haven’t tried actually cleaning anything, but at least I know it’s functional.
