This does an outstanding job of steam cleaning fine jewelry, especially diamonds, just like the jewelry store!! As with other reviewers, the tweezers they enclose, are practically worthless - I couldnt not even get them to properly hold a ring. I have not tried the basket but instead have a long handled hemostat type tweezers that I use to hold my rings under the steam. You want to make sure you have something long handled if you don't use the basket as the steam will burn you. The cleaner is easy to fill with the marked cup and doesn't take overly long to reach the proper temp where the green light comes on. I have found that with one head of steam, I can clean one ring before the pressure falls off and you must wait until it builds up again and the green light comes back on. Diamonds are especially wonderful when steam cleaned, more so in my opinion, than any other stone. They look phenomenal! If you care enough about your jewelry to want it looking like it just came straight from the jeweler, then this is a must! Read more
Be sure to check for the green light but works amazingly Read more

Before this product, I had two Jewel Jet machines which eventually stopped working after one year respectively. I was in the market for another machine and decided on this one. I clean my diamond rings on a DAILY basis and it does the job well. I only use distilled water as recommended by my jeweler. Remember that you can only clean "hard" stones (i.e., diamonds, ruby, sapphire) and not "soft" stones (i.e., pearls). Refer to Moh's Scale of Hardness for your gem classification. This machine is well-built and a lot of PSI (force) to clean/blow away dirt. It has an on/off switch on its cord. However, there's no automatic turn-off so your machine can get very hot and can burn out if you forget. Overall, this machine is solid, much better than Jewel Jet. Read more
I LOVE this jewelry steamer! It makes my engagement ring and wedding band sparkle like it did the day I got it. I tested it on my sister's sapphire ring, and OMG, it sparkles like you wouldn't believe! It took us a few passes to REALLY see a difference, but the difference was night and day. If you have nice jewelry, a jewelry steamer like this is necessary to keep it looking top notch! The tongs that come with it are terrible, though. I had to buy a set of rubber tip tongs. Other than that, it's perfect. Also, it sprays steamy, water over my bathroom counter. They're granite, so I don't really care about that at all. If you're particular about messy steamy water on your counters, you were warned. It takes one minute to wipe it up, so I really don't care. Read more
I ordered this and really loved it. It made my wedding rings super sparkly. However, I only used it about 5-6 times and it broke. It will no longer turn on at all. I followed the instruction to a T when using it. Disappointed because it costs a good amount to only have a handful of uses. I am hoping they let me return it or exchange but not sure how to get ahold of the manufacturer/seller on here. Read more
I work as a jewelry designer/metal smith and I've wanted to invest in a steamer as a final clean before shipping an item out to clients. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about this little steamer. The price is amazing for what you get. I use this immediately after a final polish and any remaining debris from the finishing process is steamed right out. The pressure on this little machine is really impressive. I would definitely recommend this steamer to anyone in the jewelry industry. Read more
