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.

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.

Good to see Fremer finally got around to reviewing the Degritter.He gave it a big thumbs up.
Finally is right @prof! I'll bet the Degritter company was so back-ordered they didn't have a spare to send him (at no cost to him). Plus, they were selling every machine they could make, no need for a review. Fremer gets most the new-release/reissue LP's he reviews for free, and industry-accommodation pricing on equipment (around half retail).
One way to look at the price of a machine such as The Degritter is: if your local used-record store were to charge you $1 to clean an LP on an USC, would you do it? Well, if you have 3,000 LP's in your music library (a reasonable number), buying and using it, The Degritter will have paid for itself. Charge other LP owners of your acquaintances (not friends, of course ;-) a buck a record, and make your money back!
