This little cleaner looks kind of cheap, but it works REALLY well! I bought it to clean my channel-set diamond wedding band, which saop and lotion gets into, but it worked so well that I started trying to clean everything in it. I have used it on jewelry, glasses, watches, baby toys... anything I can fit (you do not have to close the lid for it to work), and it is GREAT!!!! I even cleaned the thing that screws on the faucet (where the water comes out-- sorry I don't know what it is called) because it had mineral buildup. It took a few (maybe 7?) times and I used vinegar in the water, but it came out clean and shiny!

The noise is unpleasant but it isn't too loud so it's not a problem, just slightly annoying. I don't mind too much because of how well it works. Also, I would like to be able to turn the blue light off (that lights the interior when the lid is closed, when the lid if open, it is just kind of blinding), but that is also not a terribly big deal.

Mine came with cleaner and some sort of cheetah-print pouch/purse/jewelry holder. I'm not sure what it is... but the cleaner is great and really makes jewelry that much cleaner. Dish soap seems to work, too, as does plain water... I think it just depends on what kind of "dirt" you're trying to remove. It did not seem to be the most effective way to remove silver tarnish, but that's not what I bought it for.

I am very happy with my purchase!

UPDATE!! I still love this, but I have found that it causes my Citizen EcoDrive watches to malfunction (dead battery). I think it must jiggle loose something that helps the battery charge, because re-sonic cleaning seemed to get it going again. This has happened with two EcoDrive watches that I have not had a problem with otherwise, and more than once (I thought it was a fluke). Just an FYI.
