I’ve been using this for several months now. It’s AMAZING!!! You’ll have to play with cleaners depending on what you’re cleaning. For car & gun parts. Definitely pre-run it (5) minutes to get the temp up and hand stir it. It’s not the best at keeping water moving. I tossed in a mini fish tank motor and it made an enormous difference. I’ve used simple green, water and baking soda several premade BS cleaners (don’t waste your money). Even if you’re some organic nut just simple water and baking soda and some dish soap works GREAT!!! I was curious about some coins and tossed them in also wow BAM dirt be gone… ignore the (5) minutes run it for a full (30) minutes as that’s it’s capability. It won’t hurt.Oh be warned.. IDKW but the metal basket sucks!!!! It will leave whatever is touching it with a perfect checkered pattern “BURNED IN”!!!! I bought several plastic and problem solved !plastic “is the way!!!
