Record cleaning machine advise, want to buy,"HELP"

I have been looking at the various LP cleaning machines available, and need help picking one. My budget is around 500.00. What cleaning machine will do the best job? I do like the automatic designs. Thanks for any help, Rob

I prefer the Nitty Gritty. As said above it is quieter, and is semi-automatic (you have to manually pump the fluid), for same price as VPI 16.5. It is more compact and aesthetically pleasing. It fits on a 12" shelf. VPI is large and ugly, looks like a box with an acrylic lid. They both do an equally fine job cleaning records.
