Mapleshade Steamer Kit.....anyone?

Anyone using the Steamer Kit from Mapleshade to clean records.
For $150.00 it looks like a steal compared to the megabucks vacuum models being sold today. Mapleshade contend that this product (and steam in general) does a far better job than any vacuum cleaning machine and countless brand of chemicals on the market.
If anyone uses this kit, let me know your impression. Good or bad. Thanks

I agree it looks interesting. I haven't tried it, but there is more than one thread on the subject in the archives.

I'm using a walgreen steamer in conjunction with a diy RCM and have been happy with that. A gentleman who is a Nitty Gritty RCM user just purchased the Mapleshade and posted a review this morning on audiokarma.org in the turntables and tape forum. It's just initial observations but he's happy with it.

Smoffatt: Build your own for $30-$40 or buy the MS version for $150, both work the same. Don't fall for the MS hype posted on the Web site. MS never cleaned one more LP than they had to before putting the "kit" together. MS a master at taking ideas and research from other without acknowledgement. Go to the steaming thread, lots of FREE information and FREE ideas.
