Used for jewelery cleaning and glasses. It's GREAT! No chemicals are needed and it made our rings look like new. It's quick and easy too - it only takes a few minutes while I get ready in the morning. The cover worries me though - it pops up nicely now that it's new but seems a little flimsy and there is no handle to open it manually.

My jeweler recommended that I purchase a cleaner since I have bagettes on my wedding ring and always seem dirty. I was surprised that I was able to actually see "stuff" float off of my rings. It seems to work well but it doesn't give that "shine" like the jewelers stone have.

Does a great job on watch bands and glasses as well as jewelry

By On sale Judy from Grand Rapids, MI on 5/17/2008

I love for my jewelery to shine & this does just that, more convenient than driving to a store to have the same results.

By Chuck from Philly on 5/16/2008

workd great on glasses and jewelry

By Barbara728 from Stewartsville, NJ on 5/16/2008

Instead of taking my jewelry to get cleaned professionally, I now have the option of doing it myself. I also like it for cleaning eyeglasses....gets them sparkling clean and is especially handy for places that can't be reached very easily.

By Stacey the Shopper from Longmont, CO on 5/1/2008

Great Device. Very Compact and efficient. Works like a charm, even on stubborn sterling silver.

This ultrasonic is awesome! It cleans my rings really well (I use warm water with dish soap)..

The only problem is that the lid doesn't open very easily anymore!

I like it, but I need to pry the lid open and I don't have a receipt-it was a gift.

By Nurse from Schenectady, New York on 4/12/2008

I plug it in before I shower, set the timer and by the time I am done my earrings are as beautiful as the day I received them. I would recommend it to anyone who has expensive earrings. Even though the Jeweler offers free cleaning for life, I feel secure in handling them at home. No waiting, no fuss.

By Roxanne the Shopper from Chicago, IL on 3/10/2008

This product is great - it saves time and does a fantastic job!

By Margie the Designer from Tucson, AZ on 3/9/2008

I've several pieces of very nice jewelry, but it isn't always convenient to make the trip to the jeweler's to have it cleaned. Because I live in a very dry climate, I am always using lotions, especially on my hands. Now I can quickly clean my jewelry while I am applying makeup, then have sparkling, like-new jewelry to accessorize. After using my sonic jewelry cleaning on a recent visit, my sister in law has ordered one also. What a treat! Thank you.

Mainly use this to clean eyeglasses. Would have liked more details on how to use it, i.e. water temperature, how much water for cleaning certain articles, how often to use. Overall, I am pleased with the performance - so far. Have only had it a few weeks.

By Gina from Ruston, LA on 2/29/2008

I use it to clean my rings at least once a week and I can tell the difference before/after.

By Jim the Writer from West Point, MS on 2/29/2008

This product is an excellent value for the money!

By The Celtic ONE from Providence ,Rhode Island on 2/15/2008

My wife and I wanted SOMETHING to clean the jewelery that require the LEAST amount of effort and THAT is what we got!!! NOW, our old pieces, that were ready to stay in a drawer forever, have found a NEW LIFE!!

By Jewelry Lady from WV on 2/12/2008

I purchased this to help clean my large jewelry collection. It is easy to use; and does help "sparkle". I tested a real dirty piece from my daughter and a watch band. I had to run it thru several cycles. It did not add the sparkle and did need lots of "old fashion" cleaning. This is a great item for keeping your current jewelry clean. The lid did get hard to open after a few uses. It's not worth the price...for me, it is more along the $30 price range. I would recommended it if it is on sale.

By Jespoon from Crawfordsville, IN on 2/11/2008

This really is a great cleaner! It really gets the dirt and grime out of the tiny crevices in your jewelry which the jars of jewelry cleaner just can't get. The results are equal to the way my jewelry looks when I stop in at the jewelry store to have my rings cleaned. It's a great investment for your investments!

By Erica from Sacramento, CA on 2/11/2008

[...]Don't bother with this one. You can do a better job with a tooth brush and water.

By want it clean! from Ohio on 2/11/2008

My wedding ring has several small diamonds. I can't get this thing to do ANYTHING except vibrate water! A cup of water with a drop of dish soap and a toothbrush does better!

Does'nt clean as well as I thought it would

CLEANS JEWELRY SPARKLING CLEAN!

By Home on the High Desert from Bend Oregon on 2/8/2008

I liked this cleaner because it doesn't use chemicials which have to be replaced. It just needs water. It's easy and fast. I use it for my jewelry, watch and glasses. I shopped for price and this product seemed the best buy for the money.

By Judy the Jewelry Queen from Wareham, MA on 2/8/2008

I use this item to clean all my jewelry.

By Retail Lady from Atlanta, GA on 2/8/2008

Much easier than soaking in jewelry cleaner and using that tiny brush!

By PM from NJ on 2/1/2008

Good for quick, light cleaning.

cleans eyeglasses and jewelry well in a short time without adding cleaners

By Chuck from Virginia Beach, VA on 1/24/2008

Works great on jewelry and glasses without any harsh chemicals, etc.

By Cathy the collector from Chattanooga, TN on 1/23/2008

After researching numerous similar products, I decided on this ultrasonic cleaner. With the very first use, I knew I made the right decision.
Jewelry is my weakness and I have too many pieces to count. This cleaner is quick, easy and a pleasure to use. After I clean my jewelry, it's almost like having a new item. I will be purchasing others as gifts for my family and friends.

By Char from Nashville, TN on 1/21/2008

Seems to do a good job of cleaning. Lid stopped opening by the button after only a few uses- have to gently pry open now.

By Kuba from Chicago, IL on 1/20/2008

Overall this is not a bad product. The design is very stylish, however, the problem is that I can't really tell how great it works as the difference between our jewelry prior to the cleaning process and after the process is not significant. But this could very well be because our jewelry wasn't all that "dirty" in the first place... Tried also rimless glasses and purposely made couple of clearly visible fingerprints on the glasses to see how it works. To my disappointment it did not remove the fingerprints but the parts of the glasses made from steel were definitely cleaner. Also tried on my watches with unnoticeable difference, but again, the watches appeared to be pretty clean prior to the test...
Bottom line: the product does appear to be working and I will not return it, however, I wouldn't have bought it should I have known the "before" and "after" difference will be so hard to notice...

By savy from chicago, il on 1/18/2008

great for you jewelery!

By Ryan from Mathews, Va on 1/16/2008

I use the product to clean my jewelry and glasses. It's very quiet and cleans off all the dirt even dirt you don't know is there. It is also very gentle on my eye glasses.

By Jeff from Boston, MA on 1/15/2008

Very good looking unit and easy to use (2 buttons). Seemed to clean well, but a little hard to tell if it's better than typically cleaners. It'd be nice if the machine showed more evidence that the ultrasonic is really working e.g. motion of the water. It doesn't look like it's doing much when it's working but the jewelry does seem cleaner than before.

By babybrown from chicago,il on 1/15/2008

handy tool to keep your rings always with a sparkle!

By Beezer from Clarkston, MI on 1/15/2008

Cleans all types of jewelry. Gold, Silver, Stones

By Dtr in law from Chicago IL on 1/15/2008

Bought this as a gift for my mother in law, and it does a nice job cleaning rings and eyeglasses. Not quite as powerful as the jeweler's sonicator, but pretty sparkly nonetheless.

By Bev from Minneapolis, MN on 1/15/2008

The product is awesome in terms of brightening all gems, precious and semi-precious.

By MER from VA on 1/15/2008

Used to clean very dirty diamond ring. It did wonders for it!

By Chip from Springfield Mo. on 1/15/2008

My wife cleans her jewelry and it has stopped her ears from getting infected. We also both clean our glasses and think it does a great job on them.

By Ed the sailor from Lake worth Florida on 1/14/2008

Does a good job of cleaning all ours jewelry. Very satisfied with the results. Jewelry now glitters

By The Dog from Long Island, NY on 1/14/2008

gals and guys should utilize, cleans mens watches too,

By Kim from Kent Island, Maryland on 1/14/2008

I developed a rash on one of my fingers and a nurse told me it was a fungus from my jewelry. Since I started using the ultrasonic jewelry cleaner the rash has disappeared. Not to mention, I can't believe how well it cleans my jewelry.

By Shorty the bargain hunter from Indianapolis, IN on 1/14/2008

I have used the Brookstone jewely/eyeglass cleaner for both and I am very satisfied. I would recommend this item to someone else. It is truly a good bargain. I intend to buy some of your other products from your catalogues. Thanks.

You'll have sparkly jewelry in just minutes!

By Tim from NY on 1/13/2008

Multiple uses - works good!

By handyman from Sherman IL on 1/13/2008

Works best on new or slightly used jewelry.

By Calabasas Bob from Calabasas, CA on 1/12/2008

I bought this primarily to clean eyeglasses (my partner and I both wear glasses) and for some small jewelry items, and so far it does appear to do what it promises. It works especially well for glasses, getting the lenses sparkling clean. Jewelry is cleaned after a run through the unit, but it still has to be polished by hand, so the use is limited there unless you are getting dirt out of cracks or links in a chain.

The biggest Con of this unit is the lid, which has no handle on it and is supposed to open via a spring loaded switch on the front. However, after you have run a couple of items through it and some moisture builds up on the seal, the lid gets stuck in place and you have to pry it open with a knife or some other thin, narrow object. The designers should have skipped the spring loading and just put a handle on the lid so you coud open it yourself.

Also, the timer options are extremely limited, for some reason limited to increments of 80, 180, 280, etc. through 580 seconds.

Overall, it is worth the money if you have lots of jewelry to keep clean or if you wear glasses and don't want to mess around with those sprays or premoistened wipes to keep them clean.
