The HF in Bellevue, WA has the small (non-heated) UC on sale for $25., regularly $40. The heated version is still $80. but there is a 20% off single item coupon available, so it's $64. (for the math challenged).

I have the small UC cleaner from HF.....and it works fine for small items like chainsaw, push mower and other small carbs. It also will work with small carbs from 50cc motorcycles.....but is too small for garden tractor and full sized motorcycle carbs. I used Purple Power, Castrol Super Clean or other degreaser type products.....my one attempt at using Acetone to clean a spark screen has distorted the plastic cover a bit as the Acetone is a good plastic solvent. (My attempt at cleaning the spark screen with Acetone was done outdoors with a long extension chord.....and was not successful as the carbon was not cleaned from the spark screen and the plastic cover was compromised).
The water based degreaser products work as well as anything I have tried and I am probably going to get the larger cleaner the next time it is on sale.
yes acetone and plastic don't mix well.
Water based degreasers, there are bicycle chain cleaning products that are eco-friendly, like Pedro's®, which I might give a try on carbs in the cleaner. Never thought of that. Thanks.

I'm sure others already do this but, as I'm sitting here waiting for a batch to cook off, dawned on me that no one had mentioned it.
When stripping a saw to be repaired, everything gets a bath in the parts washer, including the carb to pull all the crud off. Then it gets stripped and takes a spin through the USC.
Same for all the nuts and screws. Sorry drives me nuts putting slimmy crap back together. Plus since I chase most of the threads on the saw would be counter productive to not clean the other half.
I then take the pasta strainer and set it, with the screws, into the USC and cook away. Issue, I have to change the mineral spirits in my USC every week.
Now the carb goes directly into the USC and nuts and screws go into glass jar with mineral spirits and off for a quick cooking. Instead of dumping the USC once a week, I just dump the baby food jars.

I found that it softens it if I use detergent. If I use mineral spirits, it seems to harden the deposits more, for some reason. I am starting to use a bit of lye cleaner (purple power, etc.), we will see what that does to carbon.
I am three for three!
Just did my third carb rehab with the ultrasonic, and it works great!
Before this, I had never been successful at rebuilding a chainsaw carburetor.
This device is amazing. Just amazing.

I have a little non-heated one ordered. HF had it for $39.95, plus shipping, found identical unit on eBay for $31.95, includes shipping. Anxious to try it out.

Might have been mentioned on here but as one of my mates has recently started soda blasting and is very impressed indeed with it, err....
What about soda blasting?

Based on Popeyes thread about guns V saws I can't believe more of you don't know this (Not picking on you GlenM)
If you want to remove carbon, go to the sporting goods section of your nearest all in one box store and look for GUN CLEANING products! They are designed to remove carbon, and copper deposits from gun barrels. I've had GREAT success with Hoppes #9 removing carbon from piston crowns, muffler bits, etc.
Now that being said, I can't guarantee what results you may have in a US cleaner, but I betcha it helps!

Be careful with some bore cleaners they are very acidic, I would recommend that if you use them that you rinse them off after to be safe.

Wife stole my USC
Last week I purchased one of HF's larger USCs and when I brought it home my wife just had to try it. First was her wedding ring - WOW - did it come out bright and sparkly! Ruby and diamonds never looked so good.
So next were all her jewelry (except the squash blossom necklace - as USC can shatter turquoise). Again great success and now she's really excited. She spent half the day yesterday cleaning all of her cobalt blue and flourescent yellow antique glass. Then told me "Thanks for the USC - go get youself another one"! And I didn't even get a chance to try it on one carb.
Only problem with it that I see is it is limited to a max of 480 seconds (4 minutes) per cycle. Have to keep resetting it to get more done but jewelry and other items don't need more than 4 minutes.
