Let sound waves do the dishes

Given all the bizarre turntables that show up on Crave, we thought this would be yet another one of them upon first glance. Instead, it turned out to be an example of another popular trend we don't understand: ultrasonic cleaning gadgetry.

The SWV-08AM "megasonic cleaning device" from Conway supposedly will eliminate all the disgusting "dirt and agrochemicals" on the surface of everything from fruit to frying pans with little or no detergent, according to Engadget. And it has a built-in "P-Sediment" filter (doesn't everyone?) to maintain the ultra-purity of its water. Germaphobes, rejoice.

This is a great idea !


I live in Australia,I am 77 so I've been around quite a time!

This ultra sonic gadget for cleaning isn't new !
I first saw ultrasonics demonstrated at the Melbourne Exibition Building way back in 1948. The unit sat in the wash trough and there was no thrashing around, just the slightest ripple on the surface of the cold water.
A mechanic's overall was used to demonstrate the caperbilities of the unit.
I wish now I had bought one.
If this unit that your article is about, is as good Ibelieve it will be a goer.

Just thought. I recently had a Cateract removed using ultra sonics.
