I don't have experience with the others, but I've had an original DeGritter for 3 or 4 years now, have cleaned hundreds of albums in it, and it works as well as the day I bought it, which is 'perfect'. Expensive purchase but one I did not regret, and now they've got an improved model since then; I don't need to upgrade, though.
Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition
Looking to get an ultrasonic disc cleaner. This one was recommended to me by an audiophile friend. Anyone here have this model? Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. I know nothing about Ultrasonic cleaners but hear they are great.

@devinplombier - personally, I use distilled water and nothing else in my DeGritter. I would avoid the kind of thing you see on Amazon for $160; these are made for cleaning jewelry and other assorted items, and I wouldn't expect them to last very long; I'd stick with one that is made only for cleaning records. |
@jeffreylee - Here is your logical sense - DeGritter is not a US machine. I don't care about 'cosmetics' or 'prestige'. I care about something that is well-made and trustworthy. |
@jeffreylee - I don't know what you are reading; DeGritter is made in Estonia and it says this on their website: We’re currently a team of 14, based in Tartu, Estonia, European Union. We operate on about 450 square meters, where we’ve put together machines for clients all over the world. Our space has an assembly room, a dedicated quality assurance room and a RnD area. We like solving complex issues and we invest in our employees. We also have an internal kickstarter programme for motivation – who knows, maybe the next big Degritter feature or something totally new altogether will come from ther |
