Catalog Wrong-Product Good
This product does a good job if used as directed. The Catalog blurb is, however, very misleading. The product requires Arm & Hammer WASHING Soda not Baking Soda to work. If you use Baking Soda nothing will happen.
Heavily tarnished items will require two or three applications, but they will eventually get clean. Lightly tarnished items clean quickly (30 seconds or so).
Over all an excellent product as long as it is used correctly.

Works great!
I love shiny silver but polishing takes a long time and the smell of silver polish really bothers my husband.
This is fantastic!
I hope it continues to work this well for a long time. I wish I had bought one years ago.

Total fan for jewelry care!
Even though I'm scrupulous about keeping my jewelry cleaned and stored in anti-tarnish boxes, after awhile they lose some luster. This plate restores them to mirror-bright storeroom shine. I'm stunned and delighted how nicely this works. I'm recommending this to everybody!
TIPS: Work in small batches, just 1 tsp. A&H Super Washing Soda to 11 oz hot tap water. To keep the water hot, preheat the plate by running it under hot water. After soaking the item a minute or two, brush it with a soft toothbrush and rinse in warm water, dry with soft towel. For kicks, wash one of each of several pairs earrings in a separate batch, so you can compare and admire the difference. Very good with heavily tarnished silver chains, excellent with rings you thought you were keeping clean. Brings it back to jewelry store sparkle.

OK on Stainless; Fantastic on Silver!
My daughter somehow ruined the finish on two of my stainless pots last year. I've been trying to restore it ever since, with stainless polish, elbow grease, you name it. After treatment with this cleaning plate and washing soda, they look much better!
While I had the solution going (boiling water and washing soda in a stainless sink), I thought I'd get out some small, terribly tarnished silver pieces and give them a dunk. They look fantastic! 30 seconds and a good polishing with a soft cloth and they look like new.
I definitely recommend this product. It does exactly what it says it does - IF you follow the directions!

Works like a Charm
This is AWESOME. My mother use to always clean my sterling for me (it's a chore I hate, I'd rather hide the stuff than clean it). I saw this and thought, why not give it a try. It TOTALLY works! What use to take my mother HOURS, took her and I a total of 30 minutes (I have a lot of sterling pieces). One caveat, you need a special cleaning solution, so don't think you can use it the day you get it, unless you can hunt down the required cleaner. Even with this hiccup, I give it 5 stars.

Worst thing I ever purchased
It does not work. Not even a little. Water alone works better. I followed all guidelines. Garbage. Do not ever think about this product. I cannot believe you are even selling it.

Do not know yet
It would have been helpful to know that additional products would be necessary for item to work.
