Other Vevor ultrasonic cleaners?

Is the power rating on these machines important? I see 60W 120W 240W.... or far less. Some machines with dials instead of electronic pads .... I like dials. I want to clean out parts and such, not fine things like jewellery.
 
We had a 6l one at the shop, I worked at a couple years ago. Basically the cheapest one off amazon. We used simple green in it and worked pretty good. But it did take a bit of time to heat up. So like others posted we used water from the hot water heater. We had to clean parts coming from the cnc shop, used it for pretty much every thing that fit in it. It has a spigot on it for dumping, which was nice. I have a Hornady one for cleaning brass, maybe a litre, use simple green in it as well.
 
A trick I got from Mark Presling is to fill the cleaner with hot water and put your parts in ziplock bags with your cleaner of choice and submerge the bags in the water. Saves on the amount of cleaner used.
