The most common way ultrasonic cleaners actually fail
It's rarely the ultrasonic transducer that gives out first on a cheap cleaner — it's water ingress. A fixed-tank design that gets rinsed as a single unit relies entirely on seals staying intact over months of daily use near a sink, and once water reaches the circuit board, the failure is usually sudden and unfixable. A detachable-tank design like the C60 sidesteps that specific risk by never letting the electronics housing get wet in the first place, which matters more for long-term reliability than the headline frequency number most listings lead with.
