Looked at your website link. Many of those models look exactly like the Chinese rebranded ones you can find on both EBay and Amazon for half those prices?
My short story:
A year a go, I went through the research phase of buying an ultrasonic cleaner. I didn't think I'd have to go through it, but my first unit, a "buyers" highly rated $80.00 plastic Chinese model from Amazon was NG. As most know, you NEVER run these with no water in them, as you will ruin the transducer. It worked ok the first few times I used it. This model had a small heater, which you could turn ON/OFF manually. With the unit OFF, and heater OFF, I plugged it in. This time there was no water in it, but remember, it was OFF. In a few minutes, I could smell the familiar scent of electronics slowly burning. I touched the bottom of the unit, OUCH, and the heater was ON, all by itself. I contacted the seller just to confirm this should not happen, and it was agreed it was faulty and I returned it. Since I am paranoid about burning my place down, I decided to do my homework, and see if I could find higher quality units at a decent price, of course adjusting my budget upwards!
I even found a long YouTube video by Lewis Rossman. He had a higher end model and reviewed it, over a cheaper one. At first I was surprised at all the very similar units I was seeing online, eBay, Amazon, etc. They sure looked good, but the really low prices made me suspicious. I then started seeing the same electronic interface on many other sites, same units, just rebranded, some using the term "medical", with double the price tag.
As we know, just like DMM's, the printing on many Chinese products may in fact be bogus, important things like true UL listings etc. So I wanted to avoid these, regardless of their low prices, industrial looks, and wattage settings etc. Looking at the real, name brand medical units, you end up finding two popular brands and in the 2.5 liter size, I was looking at over $600, a lot more then my first $80 plastic one. I'm sure some of the price markup, was these high end name brand models are used mostly in the medical community.
I didn't want to spend that much, but I was only finding the two extremes, tons of similar inexpensive Chinese knockoffs, or really expensive high end reputable brands, not made in China. I finally found a US company that makes them in the US, and I called and spoke with them. They have experience making even very large units for industry needs, and the prices were very reasonable. The model I bought is linked below, a year a go, it was $250, now it's $100 more, not as great a deal, no idea why the price went up so much. Regardless, they use industrial transducers, the heart of these devices. With its 60 minute timer, I've run it for hours, back to back, with heater on, works great, and I have more faith that it won't burn my home down! That alone was worth paying more for.
So beware, while many of these start to all look the same, not all ultrasonic cleaners are made the same, and some may actually be a hazard. Happy shopping!
