Couldn't afford a VPI at the time, so bought a Spin Clean. Does a decent job, but no idea how it compares to other RCMs. Better for batch vs single records, since you have to fill the reservoir regardless of how many records you're planning on cleaning. And depending on the condition of your records, the solution has to be replaced more frequently than you might expect. Don't spend the extra bucks f/clear unit. Hard to see how dirty the solution is. Yellow reservoir can't be any more difficult. (Spin Clean "upgraded" me when the yellow unit was damaged in shipment).
Your experience with a Spin Clean RCM?
It's the cheapest commercially available RCM (I think).
What's been your experience? Years ago I had a VPI 16.5 and found it didn't really get the grime off of filthy records but admittedly I only used the VPI fluid.
