@flennon,

One thing I like about "open tank" US cleaners is the ability to clean the tank cavity. Over time my Audio Desk grew mold that was very difficult to clean out. Impossible to get all. 

I don't think the Vibrato is being made anymore.

Steve makes a good point about US cleaners and the ability to clean them to help prevent mold growth.

Regarding the Degritter, it does not store the bath water in the ultrasonic tank within the machine.  It pumps the water in (through a removable and cleanable filter) from a removable tank (ABS plastic) and pumps out after each use.  The tank holds 1.4l of water. 

The storage tank has a check valve in the bottom allowing removal and insertion when it is filled with water.

The storage tank is dishwasher safe. 

The ultrasonic tank is shaped in a manner that pulling the filter plug on the side drains what little water remains in the tank, usually doesn't amount to more than a teaspoon of water.  In fact, Degritter recommends doing this if you're not using the gadget for more than a few days.

If one wants to be doubly sure, the rubberized record guide on top is easily removed.  The slot stares down into the ultrasonic tank allowing a wipe if need be.
