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

That's the problem. You can't get the steam hot enough to clean the vinyl without causing more stuff to leach out. Then you're just pushing the stuff around. Works great for engine blocks, though.
The audiodesk systeme is a joy to use and does a great job, better than my VPI 17f.
I bought the Mapleshade steamer and used it for awhile. It is cheaply made and started leaking, so I tossed it. As a suggestion, try the Mapleshade maple planks under your speakers. Spike the planks to the floor, then spike your speakers to the planks. Worked amazingly well on my system.
