I ride fairly often, usually ~3x/week and like to have a clean drivetrain. So, I find myself looking for a new chain cleaning gizmo. I have the Park Tool cleaner (CM-5.3). This is my second one and just like the first one, the cheap, crappy plastic broke on the first use, and now pieces are falling off it left and right. It's pretty disappointing how poorly these things are made.
So, I am looking for something different. Does anyone have experience with the pro version (CM-25) of this? Is it any better made (looks like it is made with different plastic)? Is there anyway in the world it is worth that price tag?? How about the Muc-Off one? Pedros?
If they are all equally terrible, or you just think there's a better way, how do you clean your chain?

Change over to wax. I just hose mine off and rewax it every month or so. Best change I’ve ever made in cycling. I use Molten Speedwax.
When I used to use these things, I used the Finish Line, CM-5.3, and Pedro’s and liked Pedros the most because of the hook that holds it on the derailleur.
