Works well in the shop for small parts. Takes a little while to heat up but the ultrasonics are strong. The basket doesn't allow the lid to close. It's a little loud if you're right next to it but not bad. More annoying than deafening.i cleaned some greasy bolts covered with old antisieze. after 5 minutes at 60 and a 1/4 cup of simple green concentrate diluted in water, parts are clean. Next i will try with a rust penetrent to see if it will remove rust. Works great for what i need. I just wish the lid closed fully.
