In my experience, the Zerostat did not help to loosen dust prior to brushing. Rather, the dust just spread around the record, but remained firmly attached to it. Perhaps I have a defective unit, I do not know.
In case anyone is interested, I think I have found a much more suitable alternative. I just picked up a raincheck for a Sharp PlasmaCluster FPP40CX Ion Air Purifier. From the description, in addition to releasing positive and negative ions into the air, it also has a three part air filtration system, which includes a hepa filter. This has the added bonus of catching/trapping airborne dust/allergens/viruses, removing them from the room altogether. Best part? $150 on sale.
I purchased this unit specifically for my allergies, but I wouldn't be surprised if it has a positive affect on reducing dust/static charge. I guess we'll see, but it's something to think about anyway.
