Consumer alert:

For those apprehensive about ordering a product with a less than perfect reputation for reliability from a Hong Kong company such as Humminguru (understandable imo), that ultrasonic cleaner is now available on Amazon. $499 (free shipping, of course) for the machine and the optional adapters for 7" and 10" discs.

I don't know what the warranty is like, but if you buy on Amazon you can at least immediately return the HG hassle-free if it arrives DOA. If I had $500 to spend on a single cleaning method, I believe I'd go for the HG.

I found this online:

Does Spin-Clean damage records?

I've cleaned about a thousand records with my Spin-Clean, and I haven't had a problem with any residue or greasy coating, but I DID have a problem with increased crackle that got better after a play or two. It was most noticeable on new records, as they are generally very quiet to begin with.

I"m debating whether or not to return the  Spin Clean and maybe getting the HG or something else.

bdp24, FYI, vinyl = PVC.  If you believe the internet, "Vinyl is not a natural substance but is a synthetic man-made material. It is a type of plastic that is made from ethylene (found in crude oil) and chlorine (found in regular salt). When processed, both the substances are combined to form Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) resin, or as is commonly referred to – Vinyl."
