HumminGuru vs.Degritter


I own the original HumminGuru record cleaning machine (not the upgraded model.). I’m thinking of buying the Degritter. Can anyone who owns both machines tell me if it’s worth the greater price?  Or, can you recommend a machine in the same price range as the Gegritter that’s better?

@larsman The Humminguru has the option of 5 or 10 minutes drying time.

The Degritter offers a lot more, but costs several times as much. You have to decide whether the capabilities are worth the increased price. I bought the Degritter as the Humminguru wasn't around at the time. If the latter cleans as well as the former, I'd probably go for the cheaper one (but then there are debates about 120kHz vs 40kHz).

@dogberry - Thanks for the correction - Is that the newer model of Humminguru? I thought the original one you had to let air dry after it did the washing, but I could be mistaken. 

That was the original. The Nova model has a more powerful fan and can do either 3 or 6 minutes drying.

rvpiano, 

 Based on your HB purchase thread, you seemed satisfied with the unit.

If the HB silenced LPs in the past, what's changed?  What performance  traits of the HB are you find as shortcomings?
