I left a review on this product on 10/20/2020 that was very positive. I have used this Ultrasonic Cleaner every weekend since I purchased it. I usually am cleaning around 150 to 200 casings (various numbers of 9mm and 45acp). About 3 weeks ago, August 21, 2021 the sonic portion was barely working. I tested the cord plug and found out there was a loose connection in the plug. I replaced the plug and it was working well again. Then two weeks later, September 4, 2021 the sonic portion did not function at all and has not functioned since. So, I got around 10 months out of this unit with my using it for around 60 total minutes each weekend. The heater still works but no sonic functionality. I am disappointed in the amount of time I got out of this unit. I made sure that there was adequate ventilation around it as I know it gets hot. I also very carefully cleaned it each time and made sure that no liquids got into the vents. I wish there had been a replacement plan. I also have a Lyman scale and after 10 months it has started to wander more. I would say it is +- 0.3 grains now. For me, I am done purchasing Lyman electronic components for reloading. Unfortunately, I am not seeing the durability in these products.

In less than 2 hours I cleaned over 650 casings (9mm and 45 auto). I used around 4 ounces of the Lyman Turbo Sonic cleaner and distilled water. I purchased a gallon of the distilled water and also used it to post clean the brass to remove the cleaner. Then I placed the casings on an old towel and let them dry on their sides. Now over 150 of the casings had been de-primed and the remaining 500 were not. I used the 480 seconds times two plus heat for 5 batches of 130 casings. The results are awesome. Super clean throughout. I am not getting rid of my tumbler as it will be used for other casings. But this product and the cleaning solution make the process easier, quicker and excellent in result for handgun casings. I cannot say anything for rifle or brass that has a neck. I recommend it. OpticsPlanet packages it well and ships quickly too!
