Hi Kinya.

Now that I've got post-orthodontic retainers that I'd like to keep from getting too cruddy, I'm getting serious about an ultrasonic cleaner that I can use for them, as well as for my harps.

I've been happy with the BugBlaster I bought from James at TurboHarp, and he used to have an ultrasonic cleaner avaiable, but I get the impression that he's experienced supply-chain issues.

There are a bunch on the web, including some from Harbor Freight that take 50 gallons of solution, and that you can drop a 450 cubic inch engine block into. All I need is one with a basket just long enough for a 16-hole chromatic reedplate (e.g., about 8" of so).

What models have you heard good things about, and what equipment works for you?

Thanks!

Your soon-to-be-a-whole-lot-cleaner friend, -Rob
