I got this for the purpose of cleaning my jewelry, specifically my wedding ring. It has been way too long since it was properly cleaned, and this did a great job! It had build up around the stones and crevices and now sparkles and shines again. It does have a sound when cleaning on the blue and red settings but it’s fairly quiet. The other settings are silent. I also like how there is a plug to cover the outlet and prevent water from getting inside while filling it. This was super easy to use, and I’m pleased with this cleaner!
