- Thread starter trentfromtoledo

I think I saw these on KickStarter... They look well made but I think they were pretty expensive. Can you even buy them yet?
robert ingold makes a real good one similar to this
yeah that's not bad...
I found the kickstarter page and yeah I remembered it wrong.

That's a pretty good price if it'll hold up to the rigors of regular cleaning... I've gone through a hand full of bucket "cleaners" and they all suck.

No offense, but, what does that have to do with the Gleam Clean?? I am also familiar with the Diamond, Bludworth(have one), 5 gallon bucket version and ball star.
I am interested in anyone experience with this NEW PRODUCT.

I’m also interested but the current $450/500 price is holding me back.

It doesn't seem to clean the entire ball at once, maybe just 30%.
At that price and considering it doesn't seem to clean the entire ball, I think you should look at a DIY approach to creating one of these, it has to be extremely simple. I think the only part to think about is how to irrigate the disposal fluid.

Glad you brought up the blud. One almost kilt me once.
I say the gleem one needs a cover, irrespective of what the designer thinks about that.
There's an unbiased review for the Clean Gleem at https://billiardproductreviews.com/2020/05/17/clean-gleem/
Are you not a Diamond dealer? It seems to me that the Diamond is hard to beat, it does a great job. In the video of the Clean Gleam running it does not appear to clean the ball very evenly and watching the balls bounce up and down would trouble me a little.
A thread on this from last year: https://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=494895
This cleaner looks really nice but frankly, it seems overpriced in contrast to other cleaning devices.
It does hold 16 balls which is a plus, however, cleaning 8 balls at a time only means doing it twice.
IMO, I’d rather stick with my Ballstar machine that does an outstanding job cleaning pool balls and
is a lot more compact and looks to be so much better constructed. This is like a deluxe version of the
bucket cleaner because there really isn’t much to this machine. I looked at it closely on a couple of
videos; the top openings should have had rims or covering of some type instead of just wooden holes.

i dont understand. the cheap bucket one works just fine. ive used mine for a couple years and it still works and have not done one bit of maintenance.
only cost was a polisher for 20 bucks. plus no placing the balls in it just drop them in and turn it on and walk away till done.

Dishwasher. Touch of detergent and vinegar. Quick wash. Come out sparkling clean. The key is the vinegar.
Sounds like you've had good luck doing it that way. Some potential dangers of using (not your way) a dishwasher for pool balls are mentioned in this old thread: https://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=172093
