Australian ultrasonics

[Gemma12]

I know there are a few Aussies on here-do any of you have ultrasonic cleaners? If so, where did you get them? I haven''t found anything that would be easy to use. We are heading to the US in a couple of months but I don''t want to be messing around with converters etc if I can avoid it!

Any and all recommendations appreciated.

Gemma I have been looking for one as well.

I am seriously thinking of picking one up if we make our way to the US later this year and a jewel jet in the meantime if I do find a good one I will be sure to post .

Thanks Deelight!

We have a trip planned as well so I''m thinking the same.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Gemma12,

It might sound strange, but try your local optometrist. We use ultrasonic cleaners to buzz away the ''nose jam'' off people''s glasses. I recently purchased one for myself from a wholesaler that is ideally suited for jewellery and leaves my rings really sparkly. You can pay as much as you like for one (!!), the one I have would probably retail for about $180, to give you an idea of what they may be able to get for you.

Hope that helps,

Victoria

Hi Gemma,

I got myself one off eBay for Xmas and I`m quite happy with it. I paid $60 incl. shipping, so I didn''t expect miracles, but after cleaning mum''s earrings that she wears daily, people actually started asking if she got new earrings. I only use it now and then but it`s doing its job.
