Ultrasonic machines are certainly very good at well cleaning a record. However, IMO, the best way to clean a record is by using the Keith Monks RCM. It uses a surfactant solution brushed into the record spinning on a TT-like platter and then completely vacuums of the fluid with a German medical grade pump attached to a TT-like arm that goes over the disc one grove at a time.
This is the machine used by the Library of Congress, the BBC, Better Records and many others for several decades.
And the cleaning process only takes about a minute per side instead of 10+ minutes.
