Humminguru record cleaner

The ’Guru’ is an excellent machine, However, it does benefit greatly from having a surfactant added to the water ( as do all US machines). Without a surfactant and DS, I found the machine to clean ok, but there was still a certain amount of hash, even on relatively clean LP’s.

To this, i am now going to add a vacuum machine to my regimen, as I think the ability to remove more ingrained gunk is better with a manual scrub, and the addition of an enzyme remover is also a plus.

A few drops of Basic H in the water as I mentioned in fact acts as a surfactant. But I find it optional, not required for good results and probably not unique to any particular Ultrasonic cleaner.

I’m not worried because I don’t have hard water.

I can pretty much guarantee that your tap water still has dissolved minerals and who knows whatever else in it no matter how soft you may think it is.  Just grab some distilled or DI at the grocery store without delay.  Why wait?

I’ve ordered it from Amazon.  Arriving tomorrow.

I’ve had one for about six months. Please follow the manual. Used distilled water. Do not use tapwater. I use a single drop of a surficant. Do not use alcohol. This machine runs at a lower frequency than the more expensive units. If it’s not clean enough for me, I run it through again. It only takes a few minutes. The device will dry your records. It takes a few minutes for the fan to work. I wear white gloves when I work with my records. 
you will not be disappointed with this device.
