The first thing I used this for was to clean my ear rings and it worked great, they were very shiny after 10 minutes and this cleaner will work great for that application, aside from the fact that I had to use a seperate container to hold them in due to the almost half inch holes in the basket... The basket is not well thought out and cheaply made, it doesn't allow you to use the lid while it is in use. The cleaning action of this cleaner is focused mainly in the center of the chamber and not very uniform so you should try to keep your items there. This is probably due to an undersized driver. It heats to 80 degrees celcius, I didn't measure the temperature, however I did stick my finger in there... It was definitely HOT! The 30 minute timer is a little annoying for larger parts. For the price this unit works well for playing around the house or cleaning jewlery. We'll see how long it lasts and as soon as my friend returns my meter I will measure the power output and frequency and post them here as well.Update: I've been using this to clean circuit boards and jewellery for about 5 weeks now at an hour a day of usage with the heater on. There have been no issues with this items operation and it still looks and works like the first day I recieved it. Even with it's small size, a drain would make life so much easier though.
