I was curious if anyone had any experience/knowledge using ultrasonic cleaners for guns/gun parts, in specific the more "industrial" ones from, e.g., Ultrasonic Power Corp, Tovatech, OmegaSonics, etc.

I’ve used our large ultrasonic cleaners intended for large scale firearms cleaning at work. 5 gallon capacity.
If you’re only doing a few guns, I’d pass. They take an hour or more to heat up, it’s advisable to have good ventilation, you have to deal with disposal of the fluid & filter changes.
Unless you’re doing preventative maintenance or equipping a cleaning room for a local PD or larger, I’d say it’s not worth the hassle.

Very much appreciate the reply; the ones I was looking at were bench top models specific for handguns. Would you have a minute to check out the link? Curious to see what you think about that model; figure about 50 handguns being cleaned on average 4 times/year. It has a process for dry lubricating all the internals as well. Thanks again!

Careful how you use an "industrial" ultrasonic. Ultrasonic will eat AL. The test to see it the ultrasonic system is working is to put in a piece of aluminum foil and see it it eats holes in it. It will strip some paint off receivers and slides, it can damage anodize finish on uppers and lowers. Don't know how cerakote will hold up. Just watch your cleaning time.
Nickel Boron doesn’t like long cleaning cycles either.
I had an AR-15 BCG with a bad coating job that regular simple green and a long cycle time made worse.
Thankfully, the manufacturer stood behind the part emailed a UPS return labeland exchanged the old for new with no questions asked.
I just bought some aircraft simple green to try in the unit at work.
