Anyone use a Crest sonic cleaner for their brass?

Anyone use this brand? Just acquired one that is brand new. Dont know anything about it.

Harbor Freight sells them - I use that one.

Remember that the object that needs to be cleaned must be eleveated above the bottom in the basket that comes with it.
Only put the brass one layer deep into the basket.

I have 2 of them . To me they are a PIA for brass casings .
After using you have to dry the cases .
I use mine for the dies . Ones is to clean other one has WD-40
in it to lube dies . I put the dies / basket in a cake pan and set
on the tumbler - it shakes the dies enough for the WD-40 to drip
off . If you go the WD-40route , probably any thing you use -
coffee filters can clean the liquid .
I don't use water , I did try anti freeze - did not like it .
If you decide to do your wife's jewelry - don't put soft stones -
opal , turquirse

No problem . You will be surprised how dirty the WD-40 gets .
It also coats all the pieces / parts and lubes them .
Both WD-40 and CRC-232 are kind of dirt magnets -
That means the parts will pick up dust from air and any powder dust .
Don't use a tumbler - the pins say they are Stainless steel - but they
leave little pieces that quickly turn into rust .
