I'm another Degritter user. I wanted my records to be clean, but hate cleaning records. Some people turn it in to a second hobby, but I didn't want that. I was willing to pay for the combination of great cleaning and as easy a process as possible. The Degritter was created to hit that goal precisely. It's a joy to use.
That said, I have been particularly cursed in having more problems than most with the Degritter. I've had one replaced, had to send that replacement back. But...when it's working, it's great. (Again, it seems most owners wash thousands of records with no issues).
