MagnasonicProfessional Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner Machine for Cleaning Eyeglasses, Watches, Rings, Necklaces, Coins, Razors, Combs, Tools, Parts, Instruments (CD2800)

I own several pieces of jewelry, ranging from bracelets to rings, along with a few necklaces for variety. While I swap most pieces out depending upon the occasion, I wear three rings, two bracelets, and one necklace every day. The necklace is a sterling silver dragon holding an orb, a charm that is handmade and was given to me 23 years ago. And yes, during that time span I have worn this necklace nearly constantly, so you can likely imagine the buildup on it (note: I have cleaned it with jeweler’s cloths and gels, but it’s a pain in the posterior).ConstructionAs others have mentioned in their reviews, the Magnasonic® Jewelry Cleaner (MJC for short) has a stainless steel tub that holds the cleaning liquid that is not removable. While some may consider this a flaw, the unit is relatively small and it is not that difficult to drain. To be blunt, if this aspect of the design is such a huge inconvenience, you need to stop being lazy and look at the fact that the MJC works well.This point aside, included with the unit are a plastic basket to hold your jewelry/silverware/nibs & etc., as well as a curved plastic platform that rests inside of the aforementioned basket. As demonstrated in the product images, this “hump” is meant to allow a watch or other piece of curves jewelry to rest properly within the cleaning liquid. This aspect of the design does give me one complaint: I wish that there was a handle or some type of tool that made it easier to remove the basket when you are finished with the cleaning cycle. The basket slides into the stainless steel basin and is a nearly-flush fit, and while the basket doesn’t become “stuck”, it would be nice if I didn’t have to finagle it out of the unit.Overall the MJC is a compact unit that is easy to store due to the cleaning basket and watch rest fitting inside of the cleaner when it is not in use. The Jewelry Cleaner also has two buttons on the rim of the lid (On and Off, respectively), and a blue light will turn on to let you know when the 3-minute cleaning cycle is finished. The unit’s clear lid is also illuminated while cleaning so that you can watch your watch (hehe) as the MJC works its magic.But, Does It Work?Yes! I admit that I was skeptical at first. After all, how could plain water clean my jewelry, glasses, and the various other items that Magnasonic® claims this unit will scrub for you? Especially considering that aside from some very tiny bubbles, there doesn’t seem to be much happening as you watch the cleaning cycle through the plastic viewing lid.While it doesn’t specify it as being necessary, I used distilled water in the cleaner along with four droplets of Dawn dish soap. I didn’t swish the water around, either, allowing the soap to dissolve into the liquid. The first item to go in was my glasses. After three minutes of buzzing I removed them, rinsed the residual soap off of the lenses, and dried them with a lint-free paper towel. The result? Gunk floating in the water and glasses so clean that you would swear that I just picked them up from the store today!Next up: this colorful bracelet along with my beloved dragon necklace. I dropped the basket into the same liquid that I used for my glasses, hit the “On” button, and three buzzerific minutes later I lifted the basket out of the solution and dried my jewelry. The result? Shiny gemstones, cleaned gold, and one very shiny silver dragon and orb. In addition to looking great, the gems on the bracelet also felt clean; dirt and skin oils were gone, along with fingerprints! The soap water in the cleaner showed the evidence of all that was removed during the mere three-minute cleaning cycle: oils, dirt, and even pet hair were floating in the solution. If anything, I never realized how gross jewelry can become with daily wear!In the EndIf you are looking for a jewelry cleaner that does not require you to dedicate time to rubbing pieces with a cloth or using a messy gel, the Magnasonic® Jewelry Cleaner is a must-have. Each cleaning cycle takes a mere 3 minutes, with the results of the cleaning process left floating in the water. Sure, you have to tip the entire unit over a sink to empty the liquid, but the convenient size of the MJC makes this a relatively easy task. Throw in the fact that you can store the accessories within the unit, and you have an economic sonic cleaner that can be used for a huge variety of items, including pen nibs, silverware, jewelry, waterproof watches, and more. So sit back and allow the buzz to play as your jewelry will come out clean, shiny, and as beautiful as the day that you bought it!

Magnasomic jewelry cleaner made my earrings and rings look like new. Very pleased with it.

I bought this machine at least ten years ago and it just crapped out today! Well, that's a pretty good track record so I'm going to order another one right away. Nice machine!

Great

I had this for over 4 years, using it daily for my retainer. It’s held up after being knocked off my counter multiple times, and only crapped out today.

Short version: this cleans but it also took off the antireflective coating on parts of my expensive prescription eyeglasses. Also a hassle in certain ways.Long version: The unit arrived damaged with the tab that lifts top completely broken off. It looks like it was just held in there with a little light glue. I was able to stick a very skinny knife tip in the space between the unit and the lid to open it. I tried using it a few times by putting a nail file between the two services (the unit and the lead) so I could flip the lid open. This ended up being a hassle so I just tried it a few times without shutting the lid. Oddly,it seems to have come without any on/off buttons as shown in the photo... There was nothing to press, just two little holes. I didn't see any in the box. So turning it on was also a hassle. Fortunately the eraser of a pencil fit in the space. But that had me wondering if I would want to put up the hassle and how long the unit would really last. After using it a few times in a row it didn't work. I unplugged it and then it restarted. Twice, the unit started when I was nowhere near it. Weird and it raises some concerns about stability.My hope was that this would clean my prescription eyeglasses and make them crystal-clear. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I tried water with Dawn dish detergent, part alcohol and water with a drop of dish detergent. Really great microfiber cleaning wipes from Amazon. No luck. They weren't any cleaner than if I cleaned them by hand. Additionally, part of the antireflective coating got vibrated off. You can see it a little bit in the photo I uploaded... Look in the center and around the edges. I'm really not happy about that because that's permanent and it will cost me a few hundred dollars to get replacement classes.I don't wear diamonds or much costume jewelry but do have a few piecesthat an aunt gave me so I washed those. On the upside, it did seem to clean them. On the downside, glue got loosened and one of the stones came loose. (Fortunately , I actually like how it looks better without the stone so that worked out okay.) Unfortunately, it seems to have removed the gold from a pair of earrings. I don't wear them much anymore but I saw that cleaning them might inspire me. I was using water with a dash of Dawn dish detergent so I'm not quite sure why the gold would vibrate off. I don't feel super angry about that but it could have been someone's favorite pair.So, I would use this unit with extreme caution. That said, it removed all lot of dirt off of things though. Look at that water. Disgusting.I'm going to return this unit because it arrived broken and had some problems... If I shut the lid to put it away I don't want to have to jimmy it open with a knifeand use a pencil to turn it on.As I'm writing this review it just turned itself on the third time.How does that even happen? I'm in a completely different room but I heard it and there it is turned on.My goal was to find something that would clean my glasses and be easier on themmicrofiber cloths. I thought it would help get the gunk around the edges, too. And maybe you did some of that but it didn't really clean the lenses much better. I only used it three times so it's pretty alarming that it would remove part of the antireflective coating. Maybe I just got a bad unit or one that had been dropped or something. I might try the digital version and see if that's any better. But buyer beware. Especially with expensive progressive eyeglasses.

This is my second review of this product. I had a previous Magnasonic that lasted at least eight year. After it died I bought another one. It however failed after about eight months. Contacted the manufacturer and after a few performance questions sent me a new one! Refreshing to see a company stand proudly for the quality of their product.Addendum: Two months after I received the replacement, it also failed. I respect the company for standing by it's product, but how can a company that made product that lasted eight years produce the same product that lasted eight and two months? Unhappily I have to reduce the rating. Will look elsewhere for an ultrasonic cleaner.

Cleaner works great! Basket is too small for eyeglasses, which is what I wanted them for. Worked great on jewelry, makeup brushes, and Sonic toothbrush heads. Only one setting, on or off. Great value!
