As the title suggests
My cleaner has no drain and the instructions say not to 'tip' the water out so I am curious if anyone has found anything that can suck the water out of the tank (leaving me to sponge dry the leftover)?
Or will it be a case of gloves on and use a pint glass to empty it that way?

Siphon? Fill a flexible tube with water, finger over each end, one into tank and one into bucket beneath, release fingers and wait until drained
+1 for the siphon.
Most pet shops should sell you an aquarium cleaning siphon that can be pump primed like this one.

The ultrasonic cleaner I use, made by Louis Steele of Vibrato, LLC, doesn’t have a drain either. If you want a fast way to drain the tank I’ve found a 12volt pump works well for me. A siphon is much simpler and cheaper. 3/“8 to 1/2” ID tubing should drain yours pretty quickly. I just had the pump on hand when purchasing the Vibrato ultrasonic cleaner. Best O Luck!
I drain mine out with a fish tank pump. Mains powered it is normally used to circulate the fluid via a filter. Works very well and is quiet in operation.
Instructions say not to as it invalidates the warranty and helps prevent any water getting into the unit.
