Review 1 for Electrolytic Cleaning Plate
Anonymous
fromChicago, IL
This is AWESOME. My mother use to always clean my sterling for me (it's a chore I hate, I'd rather hide the stuff than clean it). I saw this and thought, why not give it a try. It TOTALLY works! What use to take my mother HOURS, took her and I a total of 30 minutes (I have a lot of sterling pieces). One caveat, you need a special cleaning solution, so don't think you can use it the day you get it, unless you can hunt down the required cleaner. Even with this hiccup, I give it 5 stars.
Pros: Value for Money, easy to use, Performs Well, easy to store, Functional/Useful

OK on Stainless; Fantastic on Silver!
PostedJanuary 10, 2012
My daughter somehow ruined the finish on two of my stainless pots last year. I've been trying to restore it ever since, with stainless polish, elbow grease, you name it. After treatment with this cleaning plate and washing soda, they look much better!
While I had the solution going (boiling water and washing soda in a stainless sink), I thought I'd get out some small, terribly tarnished silver pieces and give them a dunk. They look fantastic! 30 seconds and a good polishing with a soft cloth and they look like new.
I definitely recommend this product. It does exactly what it says it does - IF you follow the directions!

Does an excellent job. Information confusing. Mentions baking soda once and washing soda in another spot. Bicarbonate didn't work, NaCO3 works.

OK for small numbers of items that are only slightly tarnished. Actually not as fast or as thorough as normal silver polish on larger or heavily tarnished items.

Excellent Product!

Tobyo
fromCambridge, Maryland
Directions for use: clear and direct
Results: for lightly tarnished items, this is an easy, quick method to brighten silver.
For heavy tarnish: soak twice and be sure to keep solution at proper temperature - hot.
Smaller round plate - to be used for small items
This is a BEST BUY.

After trying this on several pieces of silverware and some old silverplate, there was no noticeable difference in the amount of tarnish on the items. The only thing that removed the tarnish was good old-fashioned elbow grease with cream silver polish.
Cons: Performance, Difficult to use, did not do what it claimed

Certainly doesn't work like the picture implies!
PostedNovember 30, 2010
I'm going to try again with hotter water and more soda - but my first attempt with a piece similar to the picture did NOT give those results at all. Some tarnish came off with vigorous rubbing but I'm inclined to think it was about the same amount that would have come off in just a warm water bath and vigorous rubbing. Also a warning - you have to use this in a non-metal container so if you have a stainless steel sink consider that - you'll need a plastic tub or will have to use the bath tub.
The directions also call for "washing soda" which I am assuming is baking soda, but I might be getting that wrong to and that might be contributing to the poor performance.
If you think you are just going to dip your silver in and "presto!" you will be disappointed like me.
Pros: Environmentally friendly
Cons: Performance, Support/instructions

Just as you see in the picture, it works quickly. Heavily tarnished objects leave a black residue which rubs off easily. It gets at the impossible crevasses.

Wish the cleaning was longer-lasting
PostedOctober 25, 2010
panamanorth
fromPanama City, FL
Cleaning plate does clean copper faster than polish, however, heavily tarnished pieces require longer soaking with additional solution.
Dark stains still require use of copper polish.
Not long lasting. Some pieces remain tarnish-free only for one week and then require another treatment.

I discovered that this product does not clean copper very well or very quickly. I had to "fine tune" the cleaning with another copper polish. I even called customer service to make sure I was following the directions accurately.

Confusing to figure out, but works very well.

blues00
fromAshburn, VA
It's a very clever device, but there are two things that should be clearer before purchasing this device. One: the instructions are poorly written. It's very hard to understand how the product is supposed to be used and two: that it requires additional cleaning soda (obtainable at most grocery stores) to operate. It's quite a bit smaller than picture makes it appear, although the dimensions listed are correct.
Once past those hurdles, it operates as described. It still requires some rubbing in crevices to get old or very thick tarnish off, but for most silver or silverplate it works well.
Pros: Functional/Useful, multi-purpose, Performs Well
Cons: Support/instructions, does not document requirement for chemical solvent

Is is a no fuss, no muss way to clean tarnished sliver ware. Toss the plateand silverware in a sink with the easy-to-find chemicals and hot water. A few minutes of sloshing and the silver is bright and clean. Presto!

Be patient with this device for most of your silver you'll have to let it sit for a while, brush with a toothbrush, and repeat a few times but it cleans out all those nooks and crannies and it is WELL worth while for your jewelry!
