I purchased a cheap, small ultrasonic jewelry cleaner from Amazon for much less than the devices marketed as gun cleaners. It's not a panacea, but it definitely helps. You still need to clean the parts in your normal fashion first, or at least I do and mine has no heater. When I need to clean a part that's too large for the basket, I just put it in twice -- putting the end that was sticking up the first time into the liquid the second time. Just remember not to put in tritium night sights or other parts that could be damaged if the air tight seal is compromised. Also, no need to spend big bucks on expensive cleaning fluids; a little water soluble chemical goes a long way. Just make sure what you use doesn't hurt the finish if cleaning blued parts, etc.
