Ultrasonic cleaners are machines that utilize ultrasonic waves to efficiently clean various materials, such as lab equipment, jewelry and more.


Ultrasonic cleaners work by generating ultrasonic waves through electricity. This allows cavitation in the water to take place, which is the formation of vapor bubbles. These water molecules then produce power and begin to clean items by killing bacteria and removing stains.


With various ultrasonic cleaners on the market, deciding on which ultrasonic cleaner is right for you can be tough.


What should you look for in an ultrasonic cleaner?


  • Size: Depending on what you plan to use your ultrasonic cleaner for, taking size into consideration is important. Smaller (less than 6L) ultrasonic cleaners are not ideal for larger, bulker items.
  • Safety: Ultrasonic cleaners that feature automatic turn-off systems can prevent potential hazards from occurring.
  • Cycle Time: The cycle time and cleaning process will vary from one ultrasonic cleaner to another.
