I personally think they are all the same, I would buy on price.

Mine worked great when I first got it, then it died within the month. I never bothered getting it replaced, but it was sure fun while it lasted. For what it's worth, my ebay cleaner was from China.

dancing fire - is there one that you would recommend?? Seeing that you seem to agree with me cheaper ones will die out??

I have a Jewel Jet steam cleaner and I LOVE IT!
I know it's not a US, but it works really well. I have a comparison photo of my ring before and after cleaning at the very end of my SMTR thread, actually. It works wonders.

Crest or Gemoro with a steel body.

Thank you I will have to check those out...
I see a lot of units (even cheap ones that say stainless steel -- so i was going to pounce and impulse buy) but the reason why i didn't is because my bf is a metal fabricator and told me that not all stainless steel is resistant to chemicals tho - so what grade of stainless steel are these units.....

He told me best case would be 316 stainless is what i would be looking for (cuz its chemical resistant) any stainless in the 400's will rot like any other steel

Do you know what stainless these are that you recommend? thanks

if you keep your diamonds clean i think the Jewel Jet should be ok,but if you don't clean as often then i think you'll need a US cleaner.

I use a glass bowl and just soak my jewelry in diluted windex or the pink jewelry cleaner you can get at Walmart. I also have the Jewel Jet that I get out a few times a month to really shine up my diamonds.

I went through about 6 US and you just keep replacing them.

that's the reason why i have always say...don't buy them cheap Chinese made US cleaners. buy a nice made in the U.S.A. US cleaner and it will last forever. cost you less money in the long run.
