Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition

The Kirmus machine is a modified Isonic unit.  You don't need his process to get a clean record. I have both the Isonic and Degritter.  Degritter is the best, but more expensive.  For used records I start with my VPI, followed by the isonic and finish with the Degritter with distilled water and ethanol.  They all make a difference.  Can't beat the Isonic for the price.  I would clean less than 5 at a time and read Neil Antin's on line book for best cleaning fluid.  A rinse step is vital if you use detergents.  Handles to flush the record with tap water and a final spritz of Distilled water make the rinse step easier.

@larsman If the DeGritter isn't an US machine then why is it repeatedly described as such on the DeGritter website?

@terry9 What did I say that's misleading?

@orthomead 

I would not rinse with tap water. Tap water contains numerous minerals, hydrocarbons and a fluorine containing compound, typically either sodium fluoride (NaF); sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6); or fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6). All of these will contaminate the previously cleaned record surface. I would only recommend using distilled water for a record rinse. 

@jeffreylee - I don't know what you are reading; DeGritter is made in Estonia and it says this on their website:

We’re currently a team of 14, based in Tartu, Estonia, European Union. We operate on about 450 square meters, where we’ve put together machines for clients all over the world. Our space has an assembly room, a dedicated quality assurance room and a RnD area.

We like solving complex issues and we invest in our employees. We also have an internal kickstarter programme for motivation – who knows, maybe the next big Degritter feature or something totally new altogether will come from ther
