Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner


I received notification yesterday that the Degritter ultrasonic record cleaner is finally making it into production. I have been watching the company for about a year, as the cleaner has moved from prototype to beta testing , and now to a limited production of the finalized (we’ll see ;-) version. The design is excellent, eliminating my reservations about the high-priced (around $4,000) ultrasonic cleaners, at a little over half their price (just over $2,000, last I read). The Degritter uses 120kHz as it’s ultrasonic frequency, and features water filtering and disc drying. It also looks cool, like a 1950’s toaster! Details available on the companys website.

Hi group,
I’m looking at buying a Degritter. In case of service, is there a US repair option or does it have to go back to Europe?
How have people found the reliability of the unit?
Is there any outlet for rental of such gear? I have close to 1,000 vinyl records I would like to digitize and this would obviously be an amazing first step. However, given the insane price tag, I am curious if there is any such place to rent a unit like this. Thanks for the help!
I'm strongly considering one of these so I'm giving this thread a bump. Any more reflections on its effectiveness or dependability? Thanks.
I've had mine for a few months. It's the best purchase I've ever made and the company is great. I did have a bad power switch that crapped out after 2 months. They quickly sent me a new switch and simple instruction on how to pop it on. Very responsive.

My experience has been that It makes every record sound better.
