HumminGuru vs.Degritter

The Degritter Mark II provides a lot the HumminGuru does not. The most attractive to me is the Degritter's ultrasonic frequency of 120kHz compared to the HumminGurus's 40kHz. 120kHz produces much smaller exploding bubbles compared to those produced at 40kHz (the smaller bubbles reach deeper into the record's groove). The ultrasonic cavitation is produced by four very powerful side-mounted transducers that create 300 watts of pulse code cleaning action. The Degitter's water filtration and drying systems are more advanced than those of the HumminGuru's too.

But those features come at a cost. Everyone would love to have a Degritter, but not everyone wants to spend $3300 ($3300 will buy a lot of LP's!), or is able to. Most everyone can afford the $400 HumminGuru, and it provides good US cleaning for that price. And for $200 you can get an US cleaner with record "spinner" from several sources. Considering a Discwasher now retails for around half that price, I'd say a $200 US machine is a great deal!

How can you even compare them? You can buy 5 HG to one degritter. 

It's a superior machine in almost every way, but you pay for it. I have a HG also used my friends degritter. I prefer it over my HG, but it's out of my budget. You can use TERGIKLEEN in you HG that will next level it. Also, clean really dirty records 2-3 times, usually I'll flip the album over in-between. 

The HG is a great unit, about the only thing in its price range, but it has limits. The Degritter has more power, has different UC frequencies, is at the top of the chain, where the HG is at the bottom. 

Degritter operates at 120Khz vs HG at 40Khz. HG is a modified jewelry cleaner. It was never developed for records. The frequency does not remove enough from the grooves.

Better to save and buy the Degritter when you have enough...

@bbenzaquen6343  I think you are mistaking the HG with a Kirmuss, which is a modified jewelry cleaner. The HG was designed solely as a LP cleaner.

I also believe the best way to clean LPs is with both US and vacuum. The results I get with a vacuum machine and the HG are superior to what I was getting with a well known US machine by itself.
