Ultrasonic record cleaners

I have a modest lp collection, mixed bag of original college age purchases, used records before the current renewed interest, and some newer albums to replace some older issues from the p mount needle days.  Have a vpi 16 machine and audio intelligent form 6 fluid. I’m not finding a significant improvement on my noisier issues.  The price of ultrasonic cleaners have come down to a price I would consider.  Appreciate the experiences of those who have purchased the ultrasonic machines, are they superior to my vpi and are the less expensive models effective?

TIA

I received one of the inexpensive ultrasonic clears, as sold on Amazon, as a gift. Looking forward to trying it. Can anyone recommend a cleaning solution formula, using readily available products that are available in typical US retail establishments? Distilled water is easy (grocery store). What about a surfactant, detergent or alcohol? 

I've been using a spin-clean for years and have spin-clean cleaner concentrate (if recommended). This will be my first attempt at using an USC.
