Durable record vacuum cleaner recommendation?


I am looking for a durable record vacuum machine. Any recommendations?

Ideally will also do 10" and 7", and be on the quieter side. Should be able to handle some volume without breaking.

Background: my Project VC-S is busted; vacuum motor got noisy to 95dB at 1 m, a bit much, IMHO. ~$250 motor part with no returns and no guaranteed compatibility is a non-starter. This is already a replacement unit for one with bad gears for the platter. So Pro-ject is out of the running.

In the last couple of months, I used the unit quite a bit (around 1K records vacuumed) as I got an ultrasonic and go through my entire collection.

Thanks for any leads and recommendations, particularly if you have run a few thousand records through your unit with no issues.

Had the VPI HW-16.5 for years & then upgraded to the HW-17.

It’s nice to clean both directions & have the built in brush.

I use L’ Art du Son fluid.

I've had a VP! 16 for over a decade.  It's built like a tank and only slightly quieter.  I wear hearing protection while using it.  I've cleaned thousands of albums on it.  Zero problems.  Never had cracking of the delrin tubes.  I also take my record out of the ultrasound wet.  I have a second cork mat that I put down first to rinse and vacuum one side then flip the disc and remove second mat and put the dried side down on the permanent mat on the VPI and finish.
