Anyone have a vevor UltraSonic Cleaner? I'm looking at of the 30L ones for a possible purchase.
Other Vevor ultrasonic cleaners?

I have the 3L one, the handle for the lid broke right away but otherwise great cleaning, I never had any real heating issues mine drifts high and was quite long to come back down one of the times I paid attention.

Can you clarify what you mean by 'drifts high and was quite long to come back down'?

Anyone else?

I have no experience with vevor ones, but I have a small harbor freight style one that works ok, I've just outgrown it now, and have contemplated the vevor ones too.....
Maybe drift is not the right word when it heats up to temp say 30, the indicator will rise say to 35 and then take a long time 1+ hour to come back down to the set temp. For me its not a problem but if you wanted a precise temp it may not be consistent but I never compared the actual temp to the indicator.

I have a 10 Liter, not Vevor brand, but same style (got it from amazon).
Its okay, not amazing, but for some stuff easier than hand cleaning. Temperature takes forever to rise.
I run Zep orange degreaser, water, and sunlight dish soap.
Some stubborn parts caked with old machining coolant don't come clean.
But for the most part it has cleaned up everything enough in 1 or 2 rounds that once I hit it with the compressed air it comes clean.
Used it mostly when fixing my old mill and lathe, nice to get fine chips out of the hardware. And tossed a I've few small engine carbs in there as well.
I haven't run super clean (purple degreaser) in is yet as I heard it can really eat some parts.

I have used an iSonic 2.5L cleaner from Amazon for the past 5 years.
I use it pretty regularly between firearms, carburetors, and machinery parts. I have been pretty happy with the performance. This heats up in about 5-10min. I do not know what the temp is but it is hot enough that it is uncomfortable to touch or to handle parts immediately after removing. After 5 years it is starting to make some sounds while it is heating up and things are expanding. I suspect I will need to replace it soon and would like something a bit bigger.
For people with the Vevor units saying they are slow to heat. How slow are we talking?

30min ish to get to 40Deg C. 10L unit. When I only run a 20min it hits temp during the second run
Edit: starting temp was around 14Deg C

I bought the 10 litre Vevor about a year ago. Haven't had a chance to use it much. When I got it the ultra sonic part worked but there was a problem with the temperature controller. I sent them the requested video demonstrating he problem and they decided that it needed a new circuit board (not the one that I thought it should be). My approach would have been checking connections but they were all sealed with RTV and it was under warranty so I didn't mess with them. Anyway, they sent the new board, which cost me $20 in tax and duty, but they sent the 220v version of it. They then insisted that it was the right one and that I had to try it. It of course did not work. They responded to that by saying they would give me $100 credit to get it fixed locally. I accepted that offer and proceeded to do what I would have done in the first place which was unplug and replug all the inter board connectors. It worked fine after that. For the price, the electronics and transducers seemed pretty solid. As good as I would expect to see in units costing a lot more. I would imagine that the heater is more suited to maintaining the water temperature rather than heating 10L of water from cold in a short time.
