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?

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.

@bondmanp the parts availability is not very good. I have had to do my own searching for replacement parts. 

 

Would also agree with @daveyf . The combination of US and vac has given me the best results both on listening tests and optically looking through a high powered microscope.
