What is this ultrasonic cleaning device some reviewers mention is best for cleaning the device? Sounds like a hassle to clean.

I use a sonic jewelry cleaner. It's not too much of a hassle. U just throw it in and let the cleaner do its thing.

It's a jewelry cleaner. It's super easy. Add water and plug it in. I add my rings at the same time.

I've pretty much experienced the same thing. Because it only has one transducer dead center in the middle of the tub that's where the most cleaning power is located. Its not defective just not the best for cleaning bike chains. For bike chains you need an ultrasonic cleaner with a minimum of 2 transducers, but preferably 3.

I would like to know if you decided to buy one and which model you bought if you bought any. I want to buy a good deep cleaner but I can not decide which model to buy. Thank you in andvace for your response.

I'm not sure what you are asking. There is no heat involved in the cleaning action which is done with ultrasound waves.

Steven- if my experience is any indication you won't miss the Panasonic cleaner unless they have upgraded in the last couple of years. Mine was noisy an eventually stopped cleaning after a minute or two. I tried replacing the cleaner and other suggested remedies, nothing worked. I had it shipped back to Panasonic and received a replacement but the same thing started happening. Doesn't seem worth the extra money. Just rinse and clean the unit yourself.

I mostly just rinse it out real good now and then. I know they make a cleaning solution for them, but I've never it. If you're only filling it with clean tap or purified water I would just occassionly put some clean water and a small amount of household bleach, like 1/4tsp. at most and swish it around real good, squeeze some out thru the tube and bite valve and then thoroughly rinse it, and you should be good to go.

This unit is absolutely NOT washable. I have the user manual in-hand. In the "Cleaning & Maintenance" section it clearly states "Cleaning should only be done with a soft brush..." Also, in other parts of the user guide, it states that the unit should not be exposed to moisture. I would like to know how other users have concluded that this product is washable. What's more, the product description On amazon clearly indicates that it is not washable - these are rarely incorrect. What am I missing?

I ended up returning it for a different model. This model was a little to noisy for me. I ended up getting the puregauardian 100hour ultrasonic humidifier. It's a little more pricey, but works better

I haven't tried what you've tried-taking it apart. I just clean it with water, but I haven't taken it apart. At least yours makes a noise! It seems to me like the sound gets weaker and weaker until the thing stops working. I was surprised mine actually turned on today on the first attempt.

Ii does clean the best directly over the center where the transducer is located. In my experience it does clean everything in the tank. Are you using a cleaning solution and did you let the tank heat up? I found it works best once the tank get the solution hot.

Honestly I have never had to clean it. Im thinking a heavy duty degreaser or some type of acid base cleaner might do the trick. Maybe even bleach and let it soak. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Almost four years running nonstop and its still going strong.

Because it is, thank God, probably broken. Count yourself lucky because a) if you read my review you would know that when EcoQuest's fradulent devices work they are sometimes potentially harmful and always useless and b) perhaps you will now buy a device that is both safe and effective. Check out reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere of reputable, certified air cleaning devices. You should also take a look at the website of the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturer (aham.org) for a list of verified devices that actually work.

I use Boston fluid with protein deposit remover. Same as I use everyday when I'm not running the Bogue ultra sonic cleaner.

I believe ultrasonic refers to the filter - purchase and replace periodically - it get rid of a lot of minerals in the water - those that leave a white residue on furniture, etc. I have some residue on outside vents of machine....but not significant.

My rat zapper came with cleaning instructions. Have you tried cleaning the unit per the instructions? I have not experienced your situation.

I haven't cleaned mine yet but it is dusty, I will use the brush attachment from my vacuum, but the aerosol can used to clean computers also seems like a good idea!
