I bought the 30L Vevor ultrasonic cleaner a couple of months ago. Very satisfied, so far. I usually fill it with water, and put cleaner and parts in glass jars or plastic bags-saves on cleaner, and makes it easier to clean the unit.
Yes indeed, this is CLR in a glass jar. ruclips.net/user/shorts_MbPVjX_jHo?si=bBh86DBT9c8IvPhT
Good idea . Cheers 👍
Hello Max. You can fill the tank with water and use secondary containers, plastic bag or jar or cup with the object to be cleaned in the solution of choice. Saves you a lot of cleanup and the waves travel right on through. Waves are also related to the surface area of the parts that you are cleaning. More surface area more cavitation. Nice review. I have the 30 liter version. And I love it.

Thanks . Good idea about the secondary containers . 👍
Thats exactly what I do 😊
I worked at Detroit Diesel over 30 years ago we had an ultrasonic machine in the injector room it cost thousands of dollars. I bought one of these and have been cleaning LS Piston and Rod assemblies it works beautiful. I ran it at 60 degrees and used 4 Cascade Platinum dishwasher pods absolutely awesome.
Thanks . They seem to work quite well . Big thing for me is the time saved i am not cleaning parts . 👍
Seems many people on you tube are using these, I have never seen one in kiwi land or heard of one before seeing them on you tube.
Thanks for another very informative video young max.
No worries . Not sure what it's like back there now , i left back in 82 ! 👍
Thanks for a good practical, honest review mate. I can see that cleaner earning its electricity and saving you heaps of time. Have a good one 👍🇦🇺
Thanks . The solar will power it through the day ! 👍
Works great Max, it's a good size. I ain't gonna suck on this lol, been there lol. We had these back in the early 1980's for cleaning wood machining tooling. Good fair demo Matt a boon to any shop. Cheers Tony
Cheers Tony . I only heard of them about a year ago ! 👍
The cavitation itself agitates the liquid and raises the temperature. The transducers are putting energy into the liquid this way. I had a very large unit in my company we designed and used to clean film processor racks - 6,000 watts. We had heating, but after a few runs found that very little was needed.
A few years ago I made a unit to clean records. Interesting to see that they use the same transducers and amplifiers that I did. My tank is very thin though just about 30mm wide, but with four of those transducers and two amplifiers. Works really well. But my transducers did the same thing. Apparently when first used they give a stronger effect then settle down to their normal strength.
I think i will do the tin foil test when i use it next as well . They reckon it should get small holes in it pretty quick . 👍
I designed ultrasonics. Here's an interesting test of your ultrasonic cleaner that is useful to see where the field effect is strongest and weakest. Also to see if one of the transducers is not working.
put a sheet of aluminium foil straight down into the bath. The ultrasonic cavitation waves are strong enough to poke holes in the foil. From this party trick you have real time visual cues to it's operation to impress your friends.
Thanks . I will give it a try . 👍
I drive my self nuts on and off every so often when I think about getting an ultrasonic cleaner. I know the Central Machinery one from Harbor Freight, the Vevor, Creworks, etc are all made at the same factory along with 99% of the other consumer/light commercial ones. I got tired of debating and the other day picked up the 6L one from Harbor Freight to mess around with knowing I will probably return it. So far I've only used it for some rusty nuts and bolts from an old Yamaha ATV I'm cleaning up. First few nights were pointless and I was just messing around with stuff I had at the house like Dawn. Sucked it up an bought some Evaporust from HF and used that in a mason jar last night with the fasteners and it worked fine. From your experience are they really all the same or are there any that are definitely better but still in the same price range? Even as the HF sits out in my garage I'm in here watching more videos and reading shit trying to figure out what makes one better than another and wanting to find one that won't take a shit within the first year. If you've had any luck with one over all amazon Chinese ones I'd love to know. Thanks!
Interesting results Max, I had the same concern with the reduced vibration in my 6-litre unit. Still cleans OK but I think it takes a little longer than the first time. Anyway, is still better than doing it by hand with a toothbrush!!
You're not wrong there ! 👍
Gday Max, I’ve got the 10lt model, the old man’s rotor how has a Honda motor, it wouldn’t rev unles the choke was on, took it apart and cleaned with brake cleaner and didn’t make any difference, stripped it again and 10mins in the untrasonic cleaner and it’s now running like brand new, I can’t fault mine yet, cheers
No worries . I think an induction leak where the carby bolts on will cause a similar issue . 👍
When first starting with new fluid or after being shut off an initial degassing of the cleaner for about 10 minutes at operating temperature helps the cleaning action. To check ultrasound production hold a piece of aluminium foil in the bath, within a 10 - 15 seconds small holes will be punched in the foil.
Ok , thanks . 👍
Thanks Max. That built-in drain is a handy feature, one which is lacking in my (older) machine. 👍
It makes it easy to drain all right . Cheers 👍
I have a 15 litre unit also, works fine, the ultrasonic cleaning effect does also heat the water. I use my workshop kettle to heat the water, much more effective. Maybe don't add just boiling water.
Thanks . The first time i used water from the hot tap . But had the degreaser in it after that , so had to be heated from cold . 👍
Thanks for the show Max
Cheers 👍
👍👍😎👍👍 Handy Kit Max - always nice to receive a product you can really use
Dead right ! 👍
Excellent review max, every shop need one of those, I could probably use two or three, lol .Great video, keep'um coming.
No worries . 👍
Fresh fluid will be degassed bythe ultrasonic cleaner contributing to bubbling. Used fluid will have less gas content and will produce less bubbling.
Ok , thanks . Did not know that one . 👍
Yep not to mention the roots spreading and lifting driveways and paths, made a huge mistake planting next to my swimming pool in Oz, lifted paving and headers.
The birds here build their nests on the lower fronds and the nests fall down when the frond dies.
Have to relocate the nest.
They are for desert islands & deserts ! 👍
Hi Max very useful. I never thought about noise. Cheers.
Just don't film when it's on !!! 👍
i just bought the 15l unit …only a few days now…so i can’t speak to how good it is. 2 things---i found out it only holds 11 L…?…..makes no sense….. the other thing is the metal lid. it makes the noise about twice as loud….i will have to fix that….i found out they did increase the heater to 600 watts.. it does heat up pretty quick….i had a hornady plastic unit that looks like the harbor freight unit….it was just ok… one more thing the basket has fairly large holes my shell casings on the vevor unit fell thru… so I will have to improve on it some
Once they heat up , i turn the heater off & they seem to generate there own heat . My one is still running good for the minimal use it gets . It will get a lot more use this year , so it will be put to a good test . 👍
G'day Max, cleaner than Julie Andrews memoirs 😂 I've used ultrasonics for years, as a tattooist, deffo help but a good manual scrub before hand always goes a long way
Still a learning curve this one . I know a fair bit about Scrubbers though !!! Cheers 👍
Max, the cavitation bubbles are very hot, that is why you have a temperature increase. Google cavitation temperatures in water. Good thing they are very small bubbles.
I like on it as you are putting energy into the water, so it is very likely that will result in a temp rise.
Thanks 👍
I think I'd be wearing nitrile gloves when using that Mechanix degreaser. The MSDS says it contains potassium hydroxide (a strong alkali).
Thanks for the views of the innards of the cleaner.
Thanks . I should do , Brake cleaner is a bad one as well ! 👍
Good review, Max.
Thanks Rob . 👍
max, for the small stuff, put that stuff in a old glass jam jar and close it with al lid, put gasoline in the jar, put the jar in de fluid and that wil degrease little parts very very good.
or put citron acid in the jar, that will derust parts very good.
the advantige is that with closed jars /containers is that you keep the 15 liter solution much more clean and you can epiriment with different solutions without empthying all the solution.
btw, those vibrating "things" are called transducers max.
cheers ben..
That's a good idea . Cheers 👍
Hi Max, I have a 10 litre version, yet to use it, only has 3 transducers.
Priced the transducers, about 75 AUD each.
Evaporust is out of my price range here in Philippines and have too many bloody palm trees!
Next door to our old house we just moved from the neighbours had them , a right pain in the ass they are with all the shit they drop , rat's love them also ! Drilled a hole in one of them & filled it with Round up , bastard still would not die ! Hey , had to clobber the first Dugite of the season today . A 4 foot bugger just out of hibernation ! 👍
Yeah, it seems as though it is not quit as vigorously moving the flued as in the first instance, the next time you have the bottom off again you might just look at all the wiring connections seeing that everything is somewhat vibrating maybe one of the wire connections came loose. with that said, nice demonstration of how it works..........
I checked all that at the end , all seemed ok . Cheers 👍
good video Max
Cheers 👍
Hi Max, use 5 to 10% molasses to water mixture to remove rust on parts. Leave soak for 24 hours. Works great and very inexpensive.
Thanks 👍
On my never ending hunt for rust removal options I finally picked up a Harbor Freight ultrasonic cleaner and then some Evaporust to deal with nuts and bolts and maybe small parts. How does the molasses work compared to Evaporust? I know I saw it mentioned in either random youtube videos or comments but isn't it something you have to be more careful with because it can eat away at metal or something? I'd also love to know your go to method for protecting metal from rust after cleaning. Last night I just jumped the nuts and bolts onto a rag, dried them a bit, then sprayed with WD-40 and put them in a ziplock bag till I need them. I know they are gonan rust very soon though and from all the research I've done it doesn't seem like there is an easy/cheap way that will last.
@@jonathangaliano2617 Molasses will not etch steel. It is very mild. Slowly eats rust. Only downside, it is a slow process. I leave old vintage parts in molasses solution in a covered bucket for months. I'm not in a hurry. WD40 evaporates in a very short time, so I only use it for lapping. Use old stinky engine oil to preserve your parts.
Max I run my cleaning fluids through a fuel filter when empting my equipment.
Kit from up north
Good idea . I was going to set up a similar thing with filters for my machine coolant . 👍
Hi Max, don’t know how long you’ve had that degreaser but the hazard warning labelling isn’t legal in Aus. ,the labelling used is from the UN shipping system. It should have the red bordered diamond GHS symbol for corrosive, at least it has something though. Red diamond is the Globally Harmonised System now pretty much adopted globally. As well as the spec I’d advocate gloves too. As you noticed there is some self heating this is due to energy from the U/S waves If you’re in a hurry starting with a kettle of hot water helps. Cheers.
It was from current stock at Bunnings . 👍
Max. good on you bro.
No worries 👍
you could also go to big bubble and get some phosphoric acid a weak solution will deal with the rust
Thanks 👍
I got the big one from vevo. I watched a lot of the videos as well and a lot of them say the heaters will cause these to break so they use external heat. I think there is some truth to that because heat is the enemy of electronics and mechanical things. Of course there is always the one person out there that likes to contradict everything just for the sake of being contradictory who will say they never had a problem using the heater on these and they have owned 8 million of them and they all work flawlessly. In any case, I'm using an external heater on mine because I don't want to tempt fate.
I have owned well made professional ultrasonic cleaners in the past, and these can still be had for several thousand dollars and they do work a lot better then the vevo but I have found for the price the vevo is cleaning ok, not great, just ok. I'm going to be using it in my anodizing room to clean parts to be anodized. I've been using secondary containers as to keep the water in the tank clean. The containers will move around a bit and I'm not sure if this is good or bad. I'm going to try both with and without secondary containers and see if there is an issue or not.
Ok, taking bets now that there will be at least 1 contradictor who replies just to contradict my comment. I'll start the bet at 50 bucks. 😆🤣
Lol . I think i will just run with how it is & see what happens . I like the idea of secondary containers . I did not think sealed ones would work , but people reckon it's ok . 👍
Not just Vevor its all models.
Setting these up against walls, in corners or anywhere airflow becomes limited around the bottom causes most overheating Im sure.
I set 2×4s under both ends of mine to add space underneath just to help airflow.
Its true, heat & PC boards don't do well together.
In 2012 we bought a new wall oven. I swear every review said their new oven failed on its first self cleaning attempt (temp maxes to clean).
I finally found one with no issue at all. GE's top model passed the test, so when I got it home I removed a metal cover inside just to see its motherboard.
GE simply installed a nice squirrel cage (fan wheel) to blow directly on the PC board at all times. Thats all they all needed to do to stop the madness.
As soon as you turn that oven on you hear its fan come on, its fan runs till oven cools.
Never had issues with it! I was just about to install a gas oven/stove both because they had no bs issues. They perform better, cheaper to operate anyway.
Anyway keeping the fan guard extra clean on bottom of this unit is a must.
@@harryballz6358 Good idea. I'm running external heating. I have a 240 volt outlet just for the ultra cleaner and that way I can dedicate one leg to the cleaner and one to the heater. I think I'll follow your advice anyway and stick a couple 2X4s under my machine to keep the air flowing. On that note, my anodizing room is an over pressure room, and the filtration fan is right next to the cleaner so it's going to be getting all kinds of nice clean fresh cool air when I'm working in the room. 👍👍👍

@@jonathangaliano2617 I can tell you from experience, anything from china is garbage. If you want the decent ultrasonic cleaner you want made in the USA and for the same size that Max and myself have, you looking at spending 3 to 4 grand. But Ill say this. Ive had USA made ultrasonic cleaners and they are hands down built so far better than the china stuff, I can even begin to explain. Even the transducers are quieter and the machines are much more powerful. You aren't going to get anything quality at a cheap price unless you find it used. At some point I will be buying a new USA made ultrasonic cleaner because Im going to be anodizing and I need something that can handle the continual load Ill be placing on it. You might consider finding used scientific equipment for sale. You can generally find used units for sale that still work really good. Buy a couple of the same model for spare parts in case you get one with a weak transducer.
I wonder what vinegar would do to your rusty parts.
I have heard it works . Cheers Stan . 👍
No need fer a mesh basket, just use a glass jar, the ultrasonic waves will work fine through the glass
Ok , thanks . 👍
Hi Max, I was just looking at one of their Pantograph tapping machines. They weigh in at about 10% of the usual scumbags ( £300 for the head and collets), might be worth a punt. Best wishes, Mal.
I have heard it is better to go through Amazon , in case you need warranty ! 👍
Hello Max. This would have saved me a ton of time and effort when I was rebuilding my HBM, especially the bolts, nuts and washers as they are such a pain in the ass to clean. The increasing fluid temp beyond the set point is caused by the energy input from the ultrasonic waves. I was wondering if draining while it is running would keep the sludge in suspension and it would then be filtered out in the rags. Ken
Cleaning bolts etc sucks & is so time consuming . I should set up a filter one day . 👍
@@swanvalleymachineshop What's your preferred method? I mentioned in my other comment I finally picked up an ultra sonic cleaner because I just picked up a 1988 Yamaha Moto 4 350 and have been going through little by little just cleaning it and seeing what little things it needs. I hate dealing with nuts and bolts and last night finally had good results with Evaporust in the ultrasonic cleaner but still don't have a good lasting way to protect the fasteners beside WD-40. Really wish there was an easy/cheap option because I am constantly cleaning nuts and bolts on whatever random thing I am working on at the time. Thought about trying to do my own zinc coating at home but seems like you need to invest a few hundred up front just to get set up. Plus I don't really have the room to keep a glorified meth lab set up.
Is there a possibility that one of the ultrasonic emitters is loose?
Occasionally some of them will have this problem and it will buzz against the tank rather than hummm.
Good lord that thing sounds loud and like other users have said you can take a large glass jar with degreaser in it and leave water in the actual cleaner bin. This way don’t need to flush the entire tank to clean smaller parts.
I checked those , all fine . Thanks 👍
Hello, are you still happy with it?
Have not used it in ages , but about to use it a lot again . But in general , yes . 👍
@@swanvalleymachineshop okay, thanks for the answer !
Use cleaning vinegar, works better than any so called expensive cleaners.
Thanks . Never heard of it before . 👍
What size fuse does it take? Mine is a 6l model
Not sure , never looked for one . If it does , it would be inside . 👍
Could you put Evaporust in there?
I expect you could do . The only reason i don't is because it's too expensive . 👍
Yea you can. I did it last night for the first time. Put the Evaporust and a bunch of nuts and bolts in a glass mason jar then just set that in the ultrasonic cleaner basket. Works good
Thx for the vid.
No worries 👍
do it your self evaporust - there was a utube video a few days ago by elementalmaker using citric acid + edta both should be easily available
Thanks . I will give CLR a crack . 👍
Saw that you learned to fill the basket THEN put it in the liquid. Save the fingers from the solution on loading. 😂
Good point . 👍
Make great soup with added chicken and veggies!
Slow cooker !!! 👍👍👍
Vinegar will work on rust.
I have heard that . Thanks 👍
Mate I would avoid this mob like the plague. Some of their products look good for the price but it's not about the product it's about the customer support should you need it (and buying cheaper products there is always a chance you'll need it). They may have refund and warranty policies listed on their web site but they certainly don't honour any of them. It was without doubt the worst customer experience in my entire life (and is still ongoing). They apologise profusely for your "inconvenience" and then just keep stalling you wanting video and photographic evidence making you jump through hoops hoping to wear you down. In the end they do. I spent $360 and got a faulty product. I immediately contacted them and after two weeks of stuffing me around they are willing to give me $100 and I get to keep the busted machine. What a deal! (still haven't seen the $100 but I've still got a useless machine). Just do a search for reviews on the company and you'll find many experiences like mine.
Never again now matter how attractive the price.
I have heard the same thing . Also heard it is better to go through Amazon . Generally , i only buy electrical / electronic gear from a local store so if it fuk's up , it's easy to take back . Cheers 👍
Maybe put vapo rust into the machine.
Too expensive , about $180 for 15 litres ! 👍
Truly disappointed in Vevor warranty service. My ultrasonic died at 11mo and it took 4+ weeks for them to send me a replacement motherboard. now I have to hire a friend to install it. Bad communication, they wanted videos to prove it and then didn't watch the videos, followed by more bad communication. The board arrived yesterday. I am truly hopeful that is all that was needed to get it working again. I will not be buying vevor ever again.
Yes , i have heard so many similar complaints . 👍
Maybe Australia has better quality control…in America these things are a crap shoot…junk.
I think it's just pot luck sometimes ! 👍
