What Makes the UberKiwi Different?
After thousands of hours of R&D, the UberKiwi represents a significant leap forward. Here are some standout features:
5" Touch Screen
Machines costing ten times more don't have this standard of interface and the ease of use it offers.
Custom Wash Programs
Tailor the machine's operation to your specific needs. You can customize up to 4 wash programs:
- Wash A: Rinse and Dry
- Wash B: Quick wash
- Wash C: Long wash and 3 rinses for stubborn parts
- Wash D: Delicate with gentle agitation and lower heat drying
Enhanced Cycle Parameters
Modify cleaning cycles by adjusting fine variables for each jar/station:
- Wash rotations (before reversing direction)
- Acceleration of baskets
- Wash duration
- Spin-off speed
- Spin off duration
- Drying chamber temperature
- Drying time
Put simply, you can create very precise routines for different cleaning needs.
One-Touch Operation
Clean your watch movement parts and dry them all with the press of a single button.
Fluid Counter
Fluids are expensive so UberKiwi keeps a record of how much cleaning your fluids have done, making the decision to replace fluids that bit easier.
Thermostatically Controlled Drying
The drying chamber includes a heater that is thermostatically controlled to ensure precise and safe drying conditions. The chamber temp is displayed on the touchscreen.

Hi there, my name is Frank, and I’m excited to share my newest project with you. Many of you joined me on the journey of the original KiwiCleaner a DIY watch cleaning machine that was funded within 24 hours and has since sold over 300 units worldwide.
