What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck??

I’ve owned a Disc Doctor and a Degritter.  The Degritter was the better value because it more fully cleaned a record and did so with little effort on my part.  For neglected records I use DD first and then the Disc Doctor on Heavy Clean.

I use a VPI 16.5 cleaner and Audio Intelligent Premium Record Cleaner — Formula #15.

For the sake of thoroughness, discussions of record cleaning should probably include:
