I wish there were more product details about the "electro chemical" bath that bubbles away dirt. I'm assuming they mean US. SkyMall always has the coolest stuff in their catalogs! If I find any good info. I'll pass it along. Looks like a great combo! I want both US and steam but don't want to pay the $$$$ and have to find a place for two separate devices. This could be the answer. Great post. K

Whatever that "electro chemical cleaning bath" is, I don't think it's ultrasound? Says "non vibrating". "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn." -Gore Vidal

teacherk Rough Rock Total Posts: 97 Last Post: 11/14/2008 Member Since: 2/8/2008	Here is the review page on Amazon for the Salton Spa. Looks like some happy customers. Can't wait to hear your review, Luvmyhalo! Hope you get super sparkly results! http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B00023XDNQ/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_helpful?%5Fencoding=UTF8&coliid=&showViewpoints=1&colid=&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending I couldn't find any reviews on the Frontgate with the built in steamer, but they do have their regular ultrasonic on sale for $19.50. Looks like a closeout price and they have already sold out of the pearl colored US. It is only available in silver now. Here's that link. http://www.frontgate.com/jump.jsp?sort=-1&itemID=6642&itemType=PRODUCT&AS=1&keyword=jewelry%20cleaner&page=1 K PS Purfectpear, I think your conclusion is right. The Frontgate and Salton both look to be nonvbrating cleaning systems with the added steam to finish. Might be better for the pieces that cannot go through the Unltrasonic.

I'll report back when I get it :)

teacherk Rough Rock Total Posts: 97 Last Post: 11/14/2008 Member Since: 2/8/2008	Love Street, I'm so glad to hear that you found that helpful! I was hoping someone would benefit from that link. I thought it sounded like a great deal. I am kind of in the same boat. I have been looking but was not super anxious to buy right this minute unless a super deal comes along. I have a birthday coming up in a couple weeks and suspect that someone in my family may have bought a cleaner for me, so I'm holding off buying one just in case. If I don't get a cleaner for my b-day I will probably order this one. I will be so anxious to hear how you like this model. Was the shipping reasonable? K

K Hi Teacher K, shipping was only $5, so the entire amount came to $24.50. (I looked for a free shipping coupon online but didn't find one). But... I just looked and they have free shipping on this item until 6/13 Oh well. I'll report back on iit when I get it!

Irishgrrrl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,337 Last Post: 11/15/2009 Member Since: 6/3/2008	Good question! I've been looking for a good cleaner, but I've been trying to stay away from the ultrasonics because I have quite a bit of pave on both my e-ring and w-band. But it looks like this one might be a winner, since it doesn't vibrate? ~Emm "Goodness had nothing to do with it, dearie." ~ Mae West

justme1 Cut Rock Total Posts: 176 Last Post: 10/15/2009 Member Since: 9/23/2007	For those that are ordering .... The tools (tweezer, scoop & strainer) are stored inside the unit on the top, right hand side of the basket. Theres a little door that you have to pop open on top. Some have retuned the unit thinking that the tools were missing, they're there, they just hide them - lol I don't use the strainer that comes with it. I bought a mesh tea ball that closes and has a handle. I put my ring in there to steam it ... I had visions of using the open strainer & my ring flying out of it when I used the steam part. It gives a hardy blast.
