I am not sure about the Hornady model of sonic cleaners. I have the Harbor Freight model. The El Cheapo $30 model. That holds a pint, and runs in 3 minute cycles. Most brass will be clean in 3 or 4 cycles. Super shiney I am not sure I just run mine till they are clean. Takes about 15 minutes to do 100 or so cases. Then they have to dry.

Note I still use the heck out of my tumbler for doing the first cleaning on range pick up brass that is super dirty. So if you get the sonic cleaner just know if you pick up brass at the range your tubler will still see some use.
