Sorry to hear of your experience. I also have heard good reports on Audio Intelligent cleaning fluids. But I have been using MoFi cleaner since it first came on the market under another mfg at the time.

FWIW Since purchasing an ultrasonic cleaner, the vacuum cleaner is rarely used anymore. There are some affordable ones out there if you search.

@artemus_5 I'm curious about the HumminGuru, however, it has not been around long enough to have any real longevity data. I really do not want to mess with all the Ultrasonic contraptions on Amazon, ebay. I wish Degritter was about $1000 cheaper.

@ghdprentice 20 years is really good IMO, loud or not. I've seen the Nessie's in the Music Direct Catalog

My curiosity was too great  NOT to try one, especially at the price I paid for it. The hardware alone was worth the price. I considered a DIY one. But when I started to try to find proper parts I could see that I was spending a LOT of effort just on finding what I needed and often ran into dead ends. . Even IF i have to replace the US cleaner itself and the motor which spins the records, I come out way ahead of anything else I have seen. Those are the only parts which which may need replacement at some point. BTW, the rack which holds the motor and records is made of 3/8 " aluminum, NOT plastic which the $5-700 ones have .

The negatives are that you need to go to the Hdwe store and get a grub screw to replace the Flathead screw which is used to fasten the extension  rod onto the motor. This is the rod which goes through the records That was $0.40. Also the first power supply had the wrong size plug for the motor. They replaced it. I've had it for 6 mos now with no problem. If your curiosity gets the best of you, PM me.
