Recorded Cleaning Machnies


I'm going to buy a ultra sonic record cleaning machine.  I am looking seriously at the Degritter MK2 but I just found the Isonic CS6.1-Pro Record Cleaning System, which has the advantage of cleaning 10 records at a time.  Anyone have any experience with either of these?  Comments?  I have a lot of records (like most folks reading this I suppose) so cleaning 10 records at a time is a big deal.  There is a price difference, but frankly, that is not too big a deal given what I am buying here.

@spatialking - I have not used the Isonic machine, but I'm not sure you need "heat" to clean records; in fact, the cavitation action alone will cause the water temperature to rise. I took a quick look on Amazon to see what machine you might have bought and the description, while including heat settings, said that certain models don't include a heater. 

Does the device you received have some sort of forced air drying? I assumed it was an ultrasonic bath with a rotisserie or other record spinning mechanism only. 

If in fact your unit has a heater that is nonfunctional, I would contact Isonic directly.  They have good service and will either fix or repair the problem.  I don't use a dryer with the Isonic so I can't help you with that problem.

 

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.
