Lidl is launching its Silvercrest Ultrasonic Cleaner in all UK stores this Sunday, October 25, priced at £12.99 with a three-year warranty. The device uses 48,000 cycles of ultrasonic waves per second to remove dirt and grime from items such as jewellery, make-up brushes, coins, glasses, retainers and dentures.
The cleaner features a practical timer with an LED display, offering cleaning cycles of 90, 180, 300, 480 and 600 seconds. Its 500ml capacity tank includes a plastic basket and integrated watch holder. Lidl states the device consumes 50W of electricity, so a full 600-second cycle costs approximately 0.22p.
Comparison with Other Retailers
Shoppers may find similar products elsewhere, often at higher prices. For instance, B&Q sells the Pro-Kleen Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner for £29.99. On its website, B&Q describes it as "extremely effective in removing dirt and grime which would normally require tedious manual cleaning," suitable for jewellery, watch straps, dentures, glasses, razors, coins and more.
Amazon offers the LifeBasis CDS-100 Ultrasonic Cleaner, which has a larger 600ml tank, for £33.99.
Other New Arrivals This Week
Lidl updates its middle aisle twice weekly, on Thursdays and Sundays. From October 22, the supermarket is introducing a range of SilverCrest copper-coated kitchenware and small appliances, including kettles, toasters, stand mixers and coffee makers.
The update also includes men's and women's thermal tops, thick leggings, softshell jackets at £9.99, padded gilets, fleece hoodies and joggers, as well as homeware such as velvet cushions, textured rugs, LED ambient lighting, scented candles and reed diffusers. Additional Max and Mila pet health products and accessories are also part of the range.
