Cost to clean a record


I’ve heard a number of discussions reviewing various record cleaning systems.  But, I’ve only heard one vague reference, months ago, saying something like “too expensive to clean a record for me”.  I know people here are very meticulous in specs & quality.  So, I’m sure people regularly cost out their expenses.  I’d really like to know what people have observed as their cleaning cost per record of the various systems out there.   Also, as part of this, are there parts that wear out after X number of cleanings or “regular maintenance” & those costs.  Finally, are their opinions related to “X does a great job but, for $100 less Y does almost as job a job”

I’ve realized it really is a necessity & decided it’s time to pull the trigger on this.

I really appreciate all the wisdom out there.  Thanks

Audio and record collecting is a hobby for me, so I've never calculated the cost per disc of cleaning an LP. I think convenience is the biggest factor - I found myself cleaning a lot more records after I bought the Klaudio than I did when I relied only on a vacuum machine. That might be something for you to consider in your decision process.
