I recently bought the record doctor X from Amazon for sale for $499.95 and I love it it does a great job cleaning my records great video keep up the good work.

I've read that a second turn with distilled water only gives even greater sonic benefits. By the way after our records going thru disaster level floods we invested in an ultrasonic machine for @ 4 times that cost and blew the thing up trying to clean the discs quickly due to time and location restraints! If there was an affordable vac not made in China we would get it but for now we are saving for a Moth.

Tom - Good review- I think $600 is a fair price when you consider it’ll keep your records in good condition. Yep, I’m buying one.

these are essentialk, but dont waste money on fancy machines like the Monk or VPI. I cleaned about 2k lps with my 'record doctor' vacumm [bought online in '95 at maybe Crutchfield, ~$100 ] using distilled water and brush, works very well. no brainer.

I had pulled out my old, trusty Spin Clean and after cleaning about 10 lps I am off to buy a vacuum machine. I will use the Spin-clean for used LP finds for the first clean. I did make a drying rack for the Spin clean to hold 25 lps.

Why isn’t the vacuum arm actually out of the way when the vacuum is off and u r applying the cleaning fluid? It can b placed the way on the Project vacuum cleaning machine? Also, always use ear protection while using a vacuum cleaning machine as they r loud!

Thank you for reviewing a more affordable record cleaning machine. It is most important to me to see that it quite easy to use. Also, I wanted to know how noisy is the machine’s vacuum?

I like that it does both sides even if a little manual flip needed. I have a lower priced totally manual alternative vac system (Squeaky Clean Vinyl) which does one side at a time and it seems to get a bit dirty on the cleaned side when cleaning the other side because of contact with the mat on the provided "lazysusan" platter.

The "spin clean" is ok for standard vinyl, but it's a bitch for 180 modern LPs!😮

After repairing and testing an Audio Desk ultrasonic I find all other record cleaners a garbage, for future record lovers I would recommend to buy a 1,000 turntable and a 4,000 Audio Desk ultrasonic rather than a 5,000 turntable without an Audio Desk

Nice review I find that my ultrasonic 400 dollar Hummiguru works wonderfully for cleaning dirty records All you need is distilled water as cleanser will leave a film on records I noticed that the amount of the cleaning liquid seemed excessive on the records so that would likely lead to a filmy surface!
@thomasmartin2219

It is an art to get enough fluid to not leave dry spots on the surface nor to overdo it. The point of the vacuum (and the right fluid mixture) is that the record is pretty dry when you’re done. But nothing is perfect!

Vacuum cleaners are fine, but they're no comparison to a good ultrasonic cleaner. The difference between a UC and a vacuum cleaner is the same as between a DS Audio Grand Master Reference system and an Ortophon black.

I'll give you "simplicity itself"... Dear fellow music lovers, don't waste your money. Take of your watch and jewellery if you have any, make sure that your nails are filed and smooth, then squeeze a couple of drops of fairy liquid onto your dusty, or greasy record and carefully rub the washing up liquid over the surface of your record with the palm of your hand whilst letting a gentle stream of warm water run over the surface at your kitchen sink. Even new records have on occasion come with abundant micro plastic that required a rinse at the kitchen sink, but I mostly use this method when I've bought records second hand that have not been so well kept from whatever greasy sneezy smokey environment and my, a little care, common sense and washing up liquid method has served me perfectly. This type of equipment and expensive sundries as far as I'm concerned is all completely unnecessary. Save your money and buy yourself some more records and a tub of fairy liquid. ;-)
