New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning

Purchased a cheap $199.00 stainless steel digital ultrasonic cleaner with a very nice record cleaning attachment off Amazon and I am having a blast.

This thing is heated, has a timer and an electric motor to rotate the records in the US tank. It is a 6L unit and it is made in China. Seems well built and it cleans records like a much more expensive machine.

I have cleaned a half dozen albums that are 40 plus years old and have only been cleaned with vacuuming machines and this thing is great. The albums I have cleaned sound darn near new and my wife thought I bought another new cartridge or phono pre-amp.

Can not recommend this type of cleaning system enough.

Rediscover those old albums.. if this thing lasts a couple of years I will be a happy dude.

Thanx for the endorsement. May I suggest you use it without heat in any new LPs you ever acquire before first play. This removed residual microscopic stamper release agents before you can weld them in place with a moving stylus.
Digital??? 
Because you need fingers to operate it????

Have fun.

$199.00? 

Now, that's my kinda deal. Only double tlhe cost of my trusty Spin Clean. Thanks for sharing this. I'm in!
At this price I don't expect luxury.

skypunk, any tips on use or precautions? Easily breakable parts or eccentricities to be aware of? 

This is "THE BEST" post of the 2021.

What Mijo said.
In fact a danger of US cleaning is heat build up. The last thing you want to do is add heat energy to the tank. Are you cleaning with pure water, or do you add some other constituents?

35° C in your room? Don’t take your records out of the fridge. I couldn’t live like that.
I don’t want a link. Resellers are hoping to get $350-$400 on eBay.
