Industrial or lab grade sonicators are what you're looking for. The jewelry cleaners are essentially toys. Get yourself a good sonicator with programmable heat for less than 100 USD and it'll not only clean your mouth pieces but is also an all-around great tool for around the house.

Thank you for replying! Btw what is the brand name of the lab sonicator so I can buy it?

>Industrial or lab grade sonicators

and ultrasonic cleaners are in the 5** to 1*** second hand. Where do you find them for 100 USD?

I'm curious as well

VWR is the brand I've seen in some labs but the fact is most of these things are pretty identical. Simple models are $500 new, but used can be had cheap.

Keep your eye on eBay for a variable heat ultrasonic heater. If its covered in plastic and claims to clean jewelry, it's a toy. You're looking for an all-metal case with a simple metal basin. The simpler the better.

Nah. VWR makes the sonicators in some of the labs I've worked in and they sell certain models for around $500 new. Finding those used at university surplus stores is a treat. The bottom line is that beyond the toys that clean glasses and jewelry, there's a huge market for ultrasonic parts cleaners and so they can be found cheap second hand.

I got a 1.8 gallon, lab grade Elma for $400 from a guy on eBay who does medical supply surplus, they retail for about $2,100. Made in Germany.
