I can't tell if it has ultrasonic or just vibrates as a device. I used it to clean my makeup brushes and a ring. The brushes had to be scrubbed for the dirt to come off; otherwise, the water inside remained white. The dirt came off a bit more easily, of course, but maybe that was just because they soaked. For the ring, I can't even tell if there's a difference. It definitely didn't get whiter. I can't say it was worth the effort; it might clean a little, but don't expect anything special
