Hey Guys,

Anyone have any experience with an ultrasonic cleaner (tank type) for cleaning dirty, greasy parts. I've used one for cleaning flux off of a freshly brazed fork but never for dirty gunky stuff.

I presently have a solvent tank and even if you use a "green" solvent, the stuff is nasty, smelly , and im sure I spend enough on Nitrile gloves and solvent to get rid of it.

Im looking at a lower end $300-600 ultrasonic model and would appreciate any comments.
