Best way to clean records

I've been using Discwasher products forever to clean records. Now, I'm looking to do a better job without spending several hundred dollars on Nitty Gritty, etc. It seems that some kind of vacuum system is best.
Any suggestions on upgrading my cleaning methods?
Is it possible to find a used vacuum system, like a Nitty Gritty or VPI?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

Thanks, Dopogue, for correcting my error on the Record Doctor.

VPI 16.5 is reliable and does a great job. It gets my vote. Also, the unit's enclosure is easy to laminate with a wood or synthetic veneer if its stock black appearance doesn't appeal to you. Best Regards,

Yet another Record Research Labs fan. No sonic signature, no residue left behind that takes multiple rinse cycles, nothing that disolves the plasticizers in the vinyl compound, and it's completely safe to use on 78's too. I've poured my bottle of Disc Doctor down the drain. What am I going to do, give it to a friend?
