Spin Clean does a pretty good job, but I shudder when I see the lint and "stuff" floating around in the bath. I think the bath has to be replaced more frequently than advertised.
One downside for me is the SC requires setup space for drying towels and drying rack. It's a time consuming ritual. And it isn't cost effective to clean a single record. With an RCM, you just put on the lp, apply the cleaning solution, brush and vac and it's done! Turn the RCM off and play the record. I don't have a lot of spare time. I would rather maximize my listening time. Not bad mouthing the Spin Clean. I just think you kind of get what you pay for. Fortunately I can now afford something a little better.
