Record Cleaning Machines

My LP collection is growing. As I invest more and more, I realize the need for a proper record cleaner. Once again I ask the council for suggestions. My budget is flexible, but let’s say $1000 max.
Thanks 🙏

FAR better than VPI, which I sold. US is better for all records, new or used. You don't need to suck mud off a record if you can float it off with a gentle US agitation. My stylus re-tip is expensive, and I am registering minimal wear at 1000 hours. My US machine just payed for itself.

In fact dealer told me to skip a few and works fine, blacker backgrounds and very few ticks and pops. Had a VPI previously but it was nothing like the Kirmus.
