Record Cleaning Machines

The Degritter, described in the post right above yours.

I have a Cleanervinyl US RCM. cleans up to 12 records at a time. Manual, but it works. Some of my used records need multiple cleanings. Still working on a process to clean them, but 15 minutes in the RCM + manual clean with Disc Doctor fluid (3 times) seems to do the trick. If your records are mostly clean and not used, the unit will work fine for you, at least IMHO. YMMV of course.

SPIN CLEAN and Tergiclean Solution....

Had VPI 16.5. Now use a DIY US system based on Elmasonic. FAR better than VPI, which I sold.

US is better for all records, new or used. You don't need to suck mud off a record if you can float it off with a gentle US agitation.

My stylus re-tip is expensive, and I am registering minimal wear at 1000 hours. My US machine just payed for itself.

Kirmus. Finally used mine and totally made sense. And it is surfactant you spray on the records. Which makes sense.

the results were beyond my expectations.
