[QUOTE="dwm, post: 406255, member: 1136"] I bought this one a couple of months ago, it was on sale for around $60: [URL="http://www.harborfreight.com/25-liter-ultrasonic-cleaner-95563.html"]2.5 Liter Ultrasonic Cleaner[/URL] Works great. Following the suggestions from 6mmbr.com in that I am using a 50/50 mix white vinegar/water mix with a very small amount of Dawn or a Simple Green as the soap. I run the heater also. The solution will get quite dark. I move the brass around in the solution between runs. I rinse the cases in a baking soda solution and then in fresh water after cleaning. The vinegar is acetic acid and will react with the brass, the baking soda nuetralizes the vinegar. I also blow them out with the air compressor afterwards to dry them. The timer on this unit has a max run time of 480 seconds, it will clean cases in 3 or 4 runs. I can not believe how clean the primer pockets come out, look almost like I just ran the primer pocket uniformer in them. The cases come out very clean, not shiny though. They may actually tarnish they are so clean. I am very impressed to say the least. I am not a competition benchrest shooter either, just like clean brass. [/QUOTE]
