What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck??


 

From the $3500 rigs down to the $400-$600 rigs on Amazon which have you used, and think do the best job?

Has anyone tried this unit? If so, how do you like it?

iSonic® P4875II+MVR10-Pro Motorized Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaner for 10 LP Records, with Filter and Spin Drying,2Gal/7.5L, 110V

It's on Amazon.

Humminguru. $500. Ultrasonic cleaning. Don’t listen to the disparagers about the lower frequency that it runs. Run it twice to clean your record if you need too.

+1 for Humminguru

Been using it for a couple months now and super simple, and effective. Cleaned a lot of my records nicely. I do a 2 bath method, once with a surfactant mixture, then a rinse with just distilled water. 

    Bought a VPI 16 in the 80's, for cleaning every new/unwashed vinyl.    Worked well until 2008.

                                       Been using a 16.5, since. 

       Of course: every record also got/gets Discwasher spins, before each play.

     Using LAST RCM with the VPI and Record Doctor Quick Wash, on my Discwasher brush.

                         OH: and a LAST treatment after that first wash.

I've been using a De Stat Gun and Discwasher for over 45 years. I borrowed a friends UC and cleaned my 1600 pieces of vinyl. About 500 are from other peoples collections and most were filthy even after the Discwasher. The UC cleaned most of those up completely. The rest of my collection is new vinyl I have purchase for the last 50 years or so. They have all been de stated and then Discwasher before each play. They showed little to no gain from UC. 

My cleaning solution is now 1 qt. distilled water and 25 ml pure Isopropyl Alcohol.
