The Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System does work very nicely , the convenience and no mess is a huge plus.I did have an issue early on as not all the brushes would engage and rotate to clean.. I think that was just an issue of the machine being brand new and maybe a bit stiff.I do check to make sure the record starts properly ,sometimes ,rarely some records are reluctant to start.A counter rotation push as per instructions takes care of that.Yes it is not dead quiet but much quieter than my VPI 16.5 which required lots of hands on labor, did the job but was labor intensive.
the other feature that i really like is you can easily set the length of time to clean from the factory 5 minutes default on up to ? I usually wash a record twice a long and short just to get that little extra clean..Now this machine is pricey but i am very happy with it...feel free to email me should you need any real user info. ps i have made approx 5oo clean cycles .
