·Did you not read the user’s guide that should have come with the US machine? Or was there no manual with it?
Manual? For $60, I was lucky it came with a cardboard box.

Well! I guess I was assuming that you might have bought a serious ultrasonic, like many of us do. I use two L & R ultrasonics. One for larger items, one for watches. Neither of these would be a good choice to experiment with, if you wanted to test what might happen to your fingers. The power of the ultrasonic energy would certainly be different with a $60.00 machine. My small one was over $600.00 (Cdn.).

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorCan the Hands Be Immersed in the Ultrasonic Cleaning Solution While the Cleaning Process Is Ongoing ?
Immersing the hands in the cleaning bath during the cleaning process is not advisable. When an ultrasonic cleaning process is ongoing, ultrasonic power produces ultrasonic waves that act on the cleaning solution to create cavitation bubbles. The implosions of these bubbles are intense and produce powerful energy. The implosions can cause skin irritations while the energy from implosions can harm the tissues of the joints. Rheumatic diseases can develop when joint tissues are harmed.
This advice was for a scientific Ultrasonic Cleaner.
Those little jewellery ones that are plastic and battery operated may be different.
But the premise of causing little bubbles in liquid you can bet the synovial fluid probably wouldn’t like to be agitated in that way.

And being a butcher there was always a heap of it in the joints of the cattle as your breaking them up. Slimy stuff it is and is as slippery as on the floor. That’s why sawdust was used and then Salt when sawdust was banned.
The knee joint holds the most IIRC
edit: Also being a non-Newtonian fluid

I clean my movements in a Bulova Watchmaster. Yes, it makes much more noise than the Chinese cheapie, despite being rated at 40 vs 60 watts. And no, I've never put my finger in it.
As for the $60 cheapie, it's small and handy, and does a good job with bracelets and case parts. I initially bought it because it was recommended for hobbyists as an entry tool.
The Watchmaster just made more sense from a process flow, but the drier was what made me pull the trigger. I did cost more than $60, particularly when I bought a second one for spares.
