Television shops sometimes offer at first glance wonderful things that can, with a wave of a magic wand, radically change our lives. Once upon a time, our grandmothers rinsed things in the river, and now we have cars that themselves wash and wring.
The technology did not stop at this achievement, and now we are actively offered compact ultrasonic devices that (according to the passionate assurances of the sellers) will be able to remove all contaminants. Is it so?

An ultrasonic washing machine is a tiny apparatus placed in a basin with water and dirty laundry.The power supply is inserted into the outlet, and the washing process begins. According to the instruction, the ultrasound mechanism starts. Range is 22-30 kHz, so most often the work happens silently.
Unfortunately, there is no exact evidence of radiation safety for humans and pets. Here I recommend recalling that the ears of cats and dogs are much more sensitive than ours.
One of the most mentioned units is Retona, and most reviews are mostly negative in color!
How to wash
I found several recommendations on how to wash with ultrasound:
- Cover the basin with a lid.
- Use metal basins.
- Water must be hot! Not less than 50 degrees.
- Do not wash mountains of linen, but limit yourself to a small amount.
- Put a lot of powder for hand washing.
- It is advised to periodically turn the laundry over and change the location of the unit.
- Wash at least an hour and a half.
Manufacturers themselves write that the cars work fine without special tools, but numerous reviews and personal experience suggest otherwise ...
Find the pros and cons
Like every device, the device has supporters and opponents with different opinions. Let's try to combine the main points.
Advantages
- Compact size, much smaller than full units, it can be put on a shelf in the bathroom.
- Cheaper than a full car.
- It may come in handy on trips, in the country, it won’t require a lot of space in the bag, and for use you only need to find a basin, water and an outlet for connection.
- Saves electricity. You can’t argue with this point! It spends much less electricity.
disadvantages
- You will have to rinse and squeeze yourself. People with a sore back and arthritis still should buy a full-fledged automatic washing machine.
- Requires participation in the washing process. No oaths of sellers and manufacturers in the independence of the device will help to actually remove even small spots, you still need to go to the pelvis about once every half an hour to flip lingerie.
- Often have to remodel.
- Removes only very light dirt! Ketchup, grass and other difficult spots will have to be eliminated independently, even soaking does not always help.
- You can’t wash a lot of laundry at a time, just a little. For example, one shirt, a few socks... Very impractical for family people! Some children's things require special attention, not to mention a bedding set!
It should be critical of advertising. Many experts agree that the ultrasonic washing machine is a successful marketing move.
Still not convinced that it’s better not to buy it? Then I will give an example from personal experience.
How it was
Quite by chance, such a thing fell into my hands.Naturally, the eyes immediately caught fire to test in the field. I don’t have metal basins, so I took plastic. A towel specially stained with ketchup was a test rabbit. It lay in the water with an ultrasonic washing machine for more than an hour and a half, no one saw the changes, it was decided to add washing powder.
One hour after the addition, patience snapped, ketchup is a little soakI suspect by adding hot water and adding powder. Then, next in line was a white rag, which swept a little dust. She took an ultrasonic bath for about two hours, but the whiteness did not return ...
Of course, everyone decides whether to buy or not, but this is definitely not a breakthrough in technology, and a miracle will not happen. It is difficult to replace a full-fledged washing machine, and certainly not with ultrasound!
