What size ultrasonic cleaner?

[dern]

What size ultrasonic cleaner would you recommend for bike parts? Is a 5l cleaner ok?

Errr I'm now trying to remember what size I've got. There's a thread somewhere, I'm sure i put a link in.

When I've stopped sitting in the sunshine enjoying the morning I'll see if i can find any details.

There's a photo in that thread of stuff in the tank of my (apparently) 10l one.

Perfect, thank you.

When it says 5 ltrs thats with nothing in the tank.

If you use the basket thing the available space is considerably less. Check out the dimensions.

They're like lathes, pillar drills, etc whatever you buy will always be too small for the important job you want to do.

Should have got one of these ages ago.

Buy a small one.

Cut the lid off a 2.5l coke bottle.

Put this in the cheap ultrasonic cleaner.

You have now expanded the capacity

I bought a small jewellery type one, 600ml I think, I've used the technique in the video to clean loads of larger things
Calipers etc
