HumminGuru vs.Degritter

The other day my wife texted one of her colleagues to ask if she was on duty, and was delighted when her iPhone offered "Are you on drugs?"

Nice thread- leaning towards the Degritter.

Kirmuss does an excellent job of cleaning, but it has too many manual steps for my taste.

The HG is bargain priced and effective, much better than home brewed options.  Vinyl enthusiasts are fortunate to have this great budget option.

After watching a recent YouTube video about the Humminguru and Degritter---in which the poster brought up the matter of air drying an LP after an ultrasonic cleaning will leave behind anything in the water in the record grooves (one groove per record side)---I’ve decided to stick with my DIY ultrasonic (a Vinyl Stack ULTRA Sonic Spin Kit for rotating the LP, and a Vevor---for now---tank), drying by suction with my VPI vacuum machine.

The only thing the HG and DG do that the DIY versions don’t is dry the record with air, which has never sounded like a good idea to me. That, and filtering the small amount of water in their tanks (more important in the tiny water tanks in the HG and DG machines than in the 6L tanks). A water filtering system can pretty easily be added to any tank, lots of people have done it. I got myself one of the iSonic 1 micron water filter system ($60), which clips on the top lip of any tank.
