I have the Hornady 2L ultrasonic, got years ago when I first got into reloading. I moved away from using it for brass because it wasn't leaving the brass in a condition I liked and eventually I moved to wet tumbling.
Things have changed, I live in a different place now and can't run the wet tumbler at night. I could early in the morning, but don't have the time to deal with it after, so I'm looking at going back to the ultrasonic, but not the Hornady because it's a disappointment.
Harbor Freight has a sale on their 6L for $140. Given it's larger I assume it's more powerful and also it will accommodate larger gun parts that the Hornady can't fit. The immediate focus is for doing brass and if it takes and hour to clean the brass well enough, that's fine, I'm accepting that the brass will never be as clean as with a wet tumbler, but I just want usable brass, not perfect brass.
Would like to hear from others, if good I will get one this week before sale is over and it just so happens I have a $100 gift card for HF I should spend anyway
