Anyone bought an ultrasonic cleaner recently?
« on: January 12, 2023, 07:13:34 am »
Wondering if anyone has bought an ultrasonic cleaner recently and may have some supplier recommendations.

I bought one some years ago now, and although it hasn't seen a lot of use it shat itself today. Not sure if I should buy new driver boards of not. Looking at the transducers, it appears that two of them have been hot enough to melt the solder on their power wires. I think they might be jiggered too.

The more experienced among you might be able to spot the subtle issue with this driver board:

Bought one off Ebay that goes under the name "DK Sonic" Has a warranty. Had a minor issue with it and they stood behind it. Sent me another new unit.

Looks like it wanted some air cooling

Just took a look. Found the DK Sonic brand, but which seller did you use that backed up their sale? Do you remember?
