Industrial ultrasonics can't be touched, though. They are amazing. We just didn't want to drop 15 grand on something to clean parts that would need maintained frequently.
We had a hot wash cabinet at my last job that you could fit a 15L head in. It was awesome, and would take anything (including paint) off, but they're still over $5k for a decent one.

I think the cleaners these guys are talking about are more in the $200-500 range.
