I too have the wet tumbling and like it a lot. Franklin Arsenal brand and it really works well. Son-in-law has ultrasound and I think he wishes he would have bought the wet tumbler.

I have all three types of cleaners/tumblers and like them all for different tasks:
- Stainless media wet tumbler: I will never get rid of this...use it for everything and I don't find it messy or difficult to use. I use a media separator full of water to rinse and separate then dry my brass in a dehydrator.
- Dry vibratory tumbler: Dirty range brass goes in here first so I'm not getting dirt/dust/carbon in my loading dies. Does an OK job but nowhere near as good as the SS media.
- Ultrasonic: I have the RCBS cleaner and it works okay. I use the Hornady cleaning solutions for the task at hand (cleaning gun parts vs. cleaning brass). It is just as much work as the SS pin method, but not nearly as effective. However, I still like it for certain tasks, like cleaning pistols, reloading dies or suppressors. For cleaning brass, I think either of the other methods works better, IMO.
