I haven't tried one of these new units, but I had a similar-looking unit years ago and it was a disaster. While the "rubber" wheel picks up surface dust and gunk quite well. But for whatever reason (static adhesion?) it turns the tiny bits of gunk into larger dollops of gunk that get re-distributed along your LP. Only now they are charged, and stick to the LP like glue. Bad idea, IMO.
A good RCM is the only way to go. I do use a Spin Clean w/ RO water as a first pass pre-wash step if I have an especially dusty or dirty record. But nothing gets played until it goes through the full treatment on the RCM.
