The title says it all. This item is one of my better purchases and like an earlier reviewer said, once you try it, you will be searching for other things to clean. The cleaning process is fairly simple. You fill the cleaning chamber with water, place your item in the bin, set the cleaning time, and return to a very clean item.
The 3800 includes the cleaner itself, a tray for smaller pieces and a watch holder. The manual says that "enhanced" cleaning can be accomplished using 5 ml of dishwashing soap. I used Dawn and my watch, ring, and glasses came out extremely clean. With my glasses, I use a microfiber towel to dry them and the lens and frame sparkle. It is the cleanest that I have ever seen the lens.
There is a viewing port, which allows you to see the cleaned item and the dirty water without stopping the cleaning. The timer button is great. You press it repeatedly to cycle through the cleaning times, there are five. My watch band was extremely dirty so I used the 380 second cleaning time. My ring and glasses were clean with the normal 180 second cleaning time.
The 3800 is well built, is relatively quiet, and uses normal tap water. The Owner's Manual is a one-page foldout, but it does tell you everything that you need to know. I have not had the item very long, but currently, I am very pleased with it.
PROS:
(1) Easy, thorough, and convenient cleaning

CONS:
