I have my Kirmuss for 2 months. I have not compared it to other ultrasonic cleaners but I do own a Loricraft for 10 years. I was hesitant to buy the Kirmuss because of the process. But after cleaning 50-60 LPs I will say that it does a much better job than the Loricraft.
The process of applying the surfactant is easy and effective. If you watch the video when Mr. Kirmuss discusses the whitish haze on the record after applying the surfactant, I can say that some LPs need multiple cycles to fully remove this stuff, while for others it’s gone after the 2nd cycle. But for those LPs with lots of “soap”, as Kirmuss would say, switching to 2 minute cycles with surfactant instead of 5 minute cycles worked out great for me.
The drying process is also easy. This is one reason I held out on getting the Kirmuss. In fact before I got it I thought I would use the Loricraft to vacuum up the water but it’s not necessary.
