Which Ultrasonic Cleaner?

[USAPatriot]

Which machines are people using? I looked on ebay and there's a wide variety to choose from, from 16 ounce capacity up to many gallons. Obviously I don't need a monster. I'd probably clean less than 100 cases at a time. It's not like I'm actually in a hurry and really have no extra $$ to spare on machine capacity I don't need. How about power output and frequency? Any clues or opinions would be helpful. If someone has a working unit they aren't using, or a spare, maybe we can work something out. -Rod-

Those $50.00 machines on Ebay will work just fine, and will not clean any better than my $400.00 + ones will.
Any of them that will hold a couple of 400-600 ml beakers off the bottom will be perfect.
I only clean 25 at a time in each beaker.

Adding to this ... What solution are you using with sonic cleaner ? Alconox ? Or what ?

We are using Citranox, the cheapest place that i have found it is Waco lab supply you can get it for $29.75 a gallon .

Can you guys be a little more specific as to the brand and model number you use... What are your likes and dislikes about your machine...

300 bucks!!! Dave, that's a chunk of change... Do you think that is the least expensive unit that will do the job or are there options out there for under $100?? Are the cheaper ones any good??
