I bought this to clean the heads the homedics microdermabrasion as per this deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/351349

I had searched for one a month or so ago and the cheapest I could find from a major retailer was $99 from Kogan.

It worked a treat for cleaning the microdermabrasion heads, my wedding and engagement ring - all are now very sparkly.

Special buy commencing today Saturday 10/03/2018, I believe this is nationwide, there was about 10 units at 9am at my local Aldi on the Gold Coast in QLD.

    Does it work on politicians?

      Autoclave might be more effective here.

    • hluu0111 on 10/03/2018 - 15:49

      It is meant to work on precious items only.

    Who even has a ultrasonic which needs cleaning?

  • limucat on 10/03/2018 - 12:13

    So will you require to treat the machine regularly for limescale build up? (like with bottle sterilisers, etc)

        That's easy to avoid, just reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.

          Or reduce the flux capacitor voltage.

  • Cheapsize on 10/03/2018 - 12:26

    Can OP update with more info. Is this at all Aldi's nationwide or your Aldi? Is it a special buy? If so what week? Is it a past special buy? Wouldn't want to go to Aldi and its clearance just in OP's store.

  • bluechan on 10/03/2018 - 12:51

    For those who don't know what this is. People use this to clean metallic items. It does not work on plastic. I personally use my ultrasonic cleaner to clean metallic components of my scuba regulators.

    • c0balt on 10/03/2018 - 13:01

      Ultrasonic cleaners definitely work on plastic!

    • morse on 10/03/2018 - 13:19

      Yes it's mostly used for cleaning metal and gemstones. I think it does work on plastic since one of the stated purposes is to clean CDs.

    • snoopdogg on 10/03/2018 - 13:59

      should I use this to clean my rolex watch?

      • Fullhalter on 10/03/2018 - 14:38
        +3

        Only if you are very sure of its waterproofness. I'd personally remove the head and clean just the bracelet.

      • ilikeit on 10/03/2018 - 14:50
        +1

        Definitely not for watch heads, unless you want to pay for a service. SS bracelets are fine.

      • tebbybabes on 10/03/2018 - 17:18
        +1

        I don't. In general, even if you are sure the watch completely waterproof, the commonly held practice is to remove the bracelet and use the ultrasonic cleaner on only the bracelet.

        Also, if this ultrasonic cleaner is anything like the one I bought from ALDI from 2012, it should have a plastic insert that specifically submerges the bracelet while keeping the watch above the water.

        Anyway, these things are awesome for getting crud out of places that are hard to reach. OTOH, if the dirt you're meaning to clean is the kind that is stuck on so bad that you can't scrape it off, then not so good.

        • snoopdogg on 11/03/2018 - 02:13

          whoa thanks for the info, so something that can clean bracelets is cool in my books.

  • Tomika on 10/03/2018 - 13:21

    Anybody tried washing vege & fruit with this before? Remove the dirt only.

    • morse on 10/03/2018 - 13:25
      +1

      Nope. But this unit is only 600ml, so you wouldn't be able to put much in. You can buy much bigger 10l+ ones for washing fruit and vegetables.

  • murph919 on 10/03/2018 - 14:04

    Would this be big enough to clean a motorcycle carburettor?

    • morse on 10/03/2018 - 14:11
      +1

      The fillable tank size is about 12cm wide x 15cm long x 4.5cm high/water depth. I don't know how big a carburettor is. You might be able to do one side at a time, i.e. flip it over and clean each side, as the water isn't very deep.

      sell them at the old folks home or give one to your grandpa or granny …. great for cleaning dentures

  • majord on 10/03/2018 - 14:56

    bought this morning, already used to clean a proportional valve from car, and some little springs with surface rust on them.

    • eatwell365 on 11/03/2018 - 11:19

      scale of 1-10, how happy you are with the job?

      • majord on 15/03/2018 - 20:00

        For the price, I dunno, 10? I used to use industrial cleaners, and these seem to do the same job, just on a much smaller scale

  • mrderrickc on 10/03/2018 - 15:49

    In Victoria, Bayswater store had none that I could find. Ferntree Gully had around 6 left as of posting.

  • rawm on 10/03/2018 - 15:50

    Serious question though; would this Aldi unit be any good? Are these somewhat like toasters where they perform a simple task and there's not much difference between a $7 and $70 toaster?

    • Fullhalter on 10/03/2018 - 16:08
      +1

      Yes. Just don't run it for too long. You'll stress the transducer. When the water gets hot, it's time to stop.

      I just cleaned my wife's diamond earrings and diamond necklace. Looks fantastic.

        Time to flip them on ebay? :D

    • garage sale on 10/03/2018 - 17:14

      they are fine ….. as they bigger get bigger they add more transducers …. so this aldi 600ml is the same as most 600ml cleaners

    • mrderrickc on 10/03/2018 - 17:40

      They have a 3 year warranty on the product, so worth a try.

    very good for cleaning cartridge razors …..gets all the gunk out of between the blades that running water from the tap doesn’t seem to clean properly, and they shave much better when clean.

    they are great around the house, i have a 600ml one and 3 litre one.

    Just be careful with jewellery, it can damage certain types.
    Though it is a good cleaner, ionic cleaners are better.

    • ilikeit on 11/03/2018 - 00:18

      No pearls or soft gemstones. Remember to use the plastic baskets supplied.

    • bamzero on 11/03/2018 - 00:35

      I've heard there's a chance stones could loosen, though I guess it's going to be a problem if they are poorly set in the first place… Any truth to this?

      Also noticed this on the page for the Kogan cleaner…

      "Stones unsuitable for ultrasonic cleaning: certain emeralds, onyx, opal, tanzanite, lapis lazuli and turquoise, pearl, heat treated stones, amber and coral."

    • pauper on 11/03/2018 - 13:56

      So no good for diamond rings?

    Used it on all kinds of jewellery. Works great! But I find that running it for a second 600s cycle makes things come out cleaner than a single cycle. So worth giving things a bit of extra time.
