Rating:  - * Very Simple and Easy to Use ... This is very simple and easy to use. It is advisable to use hot water for ultrasonic cleaners (around 150F). You may need to add a little soap or ammonia to make it work best. Water alone is not sufficient. - It does work, but don't expect it to work like the professional jeweler uses - Big enough to hold eye glasses - Not an eyesore, it actually looks nice. It has a soothing blue LED light inside. - It comes with a plastic rack for easy removal of your jewelries - At 35W, it consumes less energy than a light bulb - Very affordable Rooms for improvement: - The 3-minute cycle is not enough. An adjustable timer would be nice. Rating:  - * Smaller than I thought ... I had thought this would be bigger than it is. I guess that's OK because really had it been larger it would be cumbersome to store and use. It did what I wanted it to do. It doesn't require ultrasonic cleanser but I'll be using that from now on. My rings get very gunked up with lotion so I need a bit of cleanser in the machine to get them really clean. I had to run my earrings through twice to get them nicely clean but again I think that's because I was using just water. This unit is loud. But I'm pleased with it overall and happy I bought it. Rating: - * Good machine but wait for sale ... This machine has worked great in cleaning up some used jewelry I bought online. I used it with a commercial jewelry cleaner liquid soap, so that might help with effectiveness. I was pretty amazed in how well it cleaned out the tight undergallery of a tanzanite ring - the stones were a completely different color (darker and better) than before the cleaning and actually sparkled again. Just one three-minute cycle seems to do the trick but for really gunky undergalleries more cycles are likely needed. I was able to find this cleaner new on Amazon for $18 - if there aren't any available at that price now, I recommend waiting to see if that price will be posted again. I would NOT use this machine with fine pave settings or cheaply crafted prong settings because it knocked out a diamond baguette in one of my other rings (not high quality) on the first cleaning. Fortunately, whatever it knocks out settles to the bottom of the stainless steel compartment. I also would not use it for glued inlays (e.g., some black opal rings). Rating: - * Awesome Sonic Cleaner ... This cleaner keeps all my jewelry sparkling like new. When you have a very dirty ring it takes a few cycles and even a toothbrush to clean it for the FIRST time. This cleaner will maintain your clean ring. I use it daily and all my rings look like new. It also helps to change the water and clean the cleaner out with a dry towel depending on how much you use it. I clean mine once a month or whenever the water gets dirty. And that is the point, the water is dirty, and therefore the cleaner is working. If you need extra cleaning power put a drop of dish soap in the cleaner. This is an incredible price as well. Rating: - * Ultrasonic Jewlery Cleaner ... Greatest compact unit - I've given two more as gifts! Can't beat the quality, price and function of the sleek looking unit. Great for eyewear as well as jewelry. I would highly recommend it. |
All three principals sing eloquently and with a fine sense of the opera's structure and context. Anna Tomowa-Sintow is in even better voice than Domingo, and Giorgio Zancanaro heads an expert supporting cast. The Covent Garden Chorus, directed with distinction by Michael Hampe, gives a memorable impression of the revolutionary mob. Julius Rudel's conducting is totally idiomatic. --Joe McLellan
Lotfi Mansouri spared no effort or expense in making this production special. He personally directed the staging, and handpicked an outstanding cast (right down to the very young and then-unknown Ben Heppner in the small role of Hervey). The visual elements--sets, costumes, and camera work--are also handled with great care, and Sutherland's positive response to this dedication can be sensed in her performance as the unfortunate wife of King Henry VIII. James Morris is best-known as a Wagnerian singer--perhaps the leading Wotan of our time--but he is equally at home in many of the villainous roles that are the fate of bass- baritones (Iago, Scarpia, Don Giovanni). In this sinister tale of an innocent woman ruthlessly destroyed, he shows a surprising knack for the bel canto style. Judith Forst is also excellent in the role of Jane Seymour. --Joe McLellan
