Ultrasonic Retainer Cleaner Machine, 45kHz 200ML Dental Cleaning Pod with 4 Wash Modes, Digital Timer for Denture Cleaner, Aligners, Mouth Guards, Braces, Jewelry & Toothbrush… by Hossili

I purchased this item because it says it will clean multiple items. I have used it for different things from oral hardware to jewelry. It works well both items came out clean and looked brand new. I like that it is extremely easy to clean and sterilize when switching items to be cleaned. It is light weight quiet and easy to use. It cleans fast and efficiently. Its not large or bulky it sits perfectly in the corner of my bathroom counter.

This ultrasonic cleaner has made maintaining my clear aligners incredibly easy and effective. The four wash modes are well-chosen, with the gentle cycle perfect for daily cleaning and the intensive mode excellent for a deeper weekly clean. The 45kHz frequency seems to make a real difference, as it removes stubborn plaque and film that soaking alone could not.

The 200ml capacity is just right for my aligners and has also worked well for my night guard. The digital timer is a helpful feature, allowing me to set it and walk away with confidence. I’ve even started using it to clean my jewellery and electric toothbrush head with great results.

What stands out is the convenience. A quick rinse is all that’s needed after the cycle, and my aligners feel and look noticeably fresher. The white design is sleek and wipes clean easily. The only minor note is that for heavily stained items, a dedicated cleaning solution may still be needed, but for daily maintenance, it is excellent.

For anyone who wears aligners, a retainer, or a mouthguard, this device offers a significant upgrade in cleanliness and hygiene over manual brushing alone. It has become an essential part of my daily routine.

While I don’t have a retainer to clean, I do have manual toothbrushes in my own. I’ve been looking for a product that would sanitize them. Thankfully I found this cleaner which is simple to assemble and use. While I cannot confirm, it does appear to be effective as well.

I think how well this retainer cleaner works for you, depends on how well you already clean your retainer. I keep mine pretty clean, so this is making a small difference, and I will keep using it, but I took one star away because you still have to make an effort to keep it clean, the machine won’t do everything. It’s a great little machine though.

Here’s what I do:
-take retainer out, rinse under water and scrub with fingers
-put 1 drop off dish soap in bowl, fill part way with water
-soak retainer until you’re ready to put it back on
-dump retainer and water into machine, add 1 spoon peroxide
-start on setting 3 (no UV), stop halfway (300s, 5m)
-rinse, brushing with toothbrush if desired

It works pretty well. I was also disappointed that 3 out of the 4 settings use the UV light, when UV can be damaging to retainer plastic. I would have liked to see all 4 settings usable, with a separate button for UV on/off.

Overall this is a nice ultrasonic retainer cleaner that I recommend. But it’s not perfect, and you still need to soak your retainer whenever it’s not in your mouth, and keep it clean yourself. Would order again

This is a well made, compact dual action ultrasonic cleaner that also has UV cleaning as well. The unit itself is just over 4.5 inches across and has a circular shape and it is about 4 inches deep.

It feels sturdy and durable. It has a single control button on the top and a dedicated power cable. It is a shame it doesn’t use a standard connection like USB-C but that is only a minor niggle.

It is a well thought out cleaner and has top holes where toothbrush heads can be inserted. The cleaner states that it holds 200ml of water, though when measuring and filling up to the max fill line it was more like 160ml.

This is enough for dentures, braces, retainers, mouth guards etc. The dual mode also is great though for small items of jewellery, rings etc. it is noticeable when running, though ultrasonic cleaners generally are and I measured the decibels at around 55 decibels from about a foot or so away which is about the level of a quiet conversation or the hum of a refrigerator. In UV light only mode it is silent as far as I could tell.

After using a few times (reused the same water just for testing) and examining the water, the debris in the water showed that this was doing a good job and the items looked extremely clean and seemed fresh.

I think it represents good value for money.
