Mapleshade Steamer Kit.....anyone?

Anyone using the Steamer Kit from Mapleshade to clean records.
For $150.00 it looks like a steal compared to the megabucks vacuum models being sold today. Mapleshade contend that this product (and steam in general) does a far better job than any vacuum cleaning machine and countless brand of chemicals on the market.
If anyone uses this kit, let me know your impression. Good or bad. Thanks

Smoffatt: Thanks for the kind words. You might check out Walgreens.com . The company is selling the Perfection Steamer at the reduced price of $20 US. Many steamers including me think its a best buy. All the best.

Dan ed : Thanks for the advice . I have yet to use the Magic Eraser to clean the stylas . I shall experiment with a clean Magic Eraser I have at home.

For the record, my only concern with the Sf-227 is the fact it is so powerful. On "thin" LPs they waver a tad with the 227 but not with the Perfection. So, I always keep the 227 farther away from the LP surface than with the Perfection. Frankly, I usually reserve the 227 for grunged 2nd hand buys.

Smoffatt: Build your own for $30-$40 or buy the MS version for $150, both work the same. Don't fall for the MS hype posted on the Web site. MS never cleaned one more LP than they had to before putting the "kit" together. MS a master at taking ideas and research from other without acknowledgement. Go to the steaming thread, lots of FREE information and FREE ideas.
