I use one rom Harbor Freight. Looks identical to the smaller model from Hornady (and several other mfg). Waited for a sale and used a coupon, got it for something like $60 including a 2 year replacement warranty. Works great. No issues. Just ran a couple of batches of 6xc through it last night. Only thing it won't completely clean usually is the primer pockets. The crud is just too stuck there.

For my own a run through the H2L is fine after range day. But if I'm able to get a lot of RPU (range pick up's) I'll run them through the old vibratory tumbler with mineral spirits to clean all the old crud and gunk off them first.

I have the HF model also I think I paid about $60 out the door with a sale & coupon.
I make my own brass cleaning solution from Lemmi-Shine and Dawn Ultra Platinum.
You must be careful not to use cleaners that contain ammonia, which is quite a few.
I make a gallon at a time 1 Teaspoon Lemmi-Shine powder and about 3-4 DROPS of Dawn Ultra Platinum.
Shake it good.
I usually don't let it run in the sonic cleaner for more than about 2 min.
Any more and it will start to strip the Zinc from the brass and it will turn a rose color.
