One of the YouTube channels I visit created an Ultrasonic Cleaner 101 video.
While I have no experience using these cleaners, I usually agree with IraqVeteran88 most of the time when he discusses things that I do have an abundance of experience using.
I would appreciate SigForum Members post about anything in these videos they disagree with based on their experience.
Infante Ultrasonic is the manufacture for the units in these videos. On their website they state having 25 years of experience with Ultrasonic Gun Cleaners: www.InfanteUltrasonics.com
Infante Ultrasonic has a blog with additional videos for handguns, long guns, and basic info about using Ultrasonic Cleaners.

I had some leftover money in my budget one year so I bought an ultrasonic cleaner for my department. There was a learning curve, to be sure. The thing worked but the problem was the cleaning agent or liquid it used. Almost intolerable odor of ammonia when you used it. As a result, I did not use it all that often. This was 20+ years ago, so maybe the cleaning liquid is different now.

Best ultrasonic cleaners I used used Freon. It was hell trying to find them when they started phasing Freon out.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I have the Hornady Lock and Load 7L ultrasonic cleaner, which is no longer available, and it works AMAZING for pistols, parts, and brass. I ABSOLUTELY love it! They have the 9L Hot Tub that can hold an AR upper. I should have gotten that version, but went less expensive at the time.
