Cleaning Balls - Machine vs Hand

[Zerksies]

How many balls does it hold?

Does 5 at a time. I think it's incredibly expensive for what it is

I made a bucket cleaner 10 years ago that works great. I learned from someone on here about making a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and aramith ball cleaner in a spray bottle. I give them a little squirt and they look great I’ve thought about buying a ball star cleaner on amazon but why bother lol

As I earlier acknowledged, I have had a BallStar since the early 90’s. It works absolutely great with a 8 ball capacity.
Nonetheless, the Clean Gleem is $200 less, shipping should be less, no tariff surcharges and is American made.

If you ever needed parts, although BallStar is known for its ruggedness & reliability, everything is subject to breakage.
Getting replacements parts, unless some distributor happens to have it which is increasingly rare, will be a real bitch.

Seems like Clean Gleem deserves your consideration if you are looking for a brand new pool ball cleaning machine.
I’m just tickled I got my BallStar long ago and it cost under a couple hundred bucks. It has served me very reliably.

Try this after initial hand polish with Aramith ball cleaner. Gives a high gloss finish. Also can tape down the ON button and buff out cue butts and shafts after applying high end wax. Works great!View attachment 851439

Nobody in my generation would even know what this is, and I'm over 40. Everyone wears sneakers now.
