Recorded Cleaning Machnies

Looks like I can't type!

Thanks, that was most useful! 

I did purchase the ISonics machine from Amazon.  It seems to clean okay, but the heater doesn't work.  After 30 minutes, the water was still room temp.  Most likely it was damaged in shipment, as the box was totally and completely trashed when it arrived.  Sending it back, I'll probably order another one later.  Maybe from a different vendor this time!

BTW, for those of you who owe the ISonics, do you find the records are still fairly damp when the drying cycle is over?  The cloth was needed, but it only picked up a little moisture, the records are not completely dry.  If this is normal, then I'll need more drying cloths, as one is not enough for a big cleaning session.

Yes, it has a heater, one of the settings controls the water temperature.  Since I got it on Amazon with Prime, it is easier to return it and buy another one.  I think I will buy it directly from iSonics.  The box that arrived was seriously trashed!

This is the unit I purchased: iSonic CS6.1-Pro Motorized Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaner for 10 LPs, with Filter and Spin Drying, 1.6 Gal/6L, 110V   Rather than post a link that may not work for you, it is better to do a search for it on Amazon.

The drying cycle is a spin dry; if the water was warm, I am sure the records would come out drier than with room temp water.  However, that being said, they are dry enough after a quick wipe with the supplied cloth.

Update:  The iSonic CS6.1-Pro Motorized Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaner I bought from Amazon was sent back.  I checked the iSonic website (https://isonicinc.com/) and I discovered they have a more powerful model, the iSonic CS6.2-Pro Motorized Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaner.  Interestingly, they pay the freight and there was no sales tax.  So, I got the bigger machine for the about same price as the lower power one on Amazon.  The original one, the -1, was 45W and the new one, the -2, is 90W, otherwise they are the same.  It should arrive soon.   

Thanks for all the advice, it was most useful!

Thanks!  Will do.

Supposedly, some of the ultrasonic cleaners I see advertise no rinsing is necessary.  I suppose with a flow agent, the cleaning solution should sheet right off.  Maybe a chemist here can explain the no rinse ads I see.
