Your experience with a Spin Clean RCM?

Couldn't afford a VPI at the time, so bought a Spin Clean. Does a decent job, but no idea how it compares to other RCMs. Better for batch vs single records, since you have to fill the reservoir regardless of how many records you're planning on cleaning. And depending on the condition of your records, the solution has to be replaced more frequently than you might expect. Don't spend the extra bucks f/clear unit. Hard to see how dirty the solution is. Yellow reservoir can't be any more difficult. (Spin Clean "upgraded" me when the yellow unit was damaged in shipment).

It's not RCM at all. It's an improved brush and nothing more.
The best economical solution is to use KAB machine that connects to your own vacume cleaner. Tough burger grease and fingerprints you will still have to remove manually using liquids and Discwasher brush.

They work great! I would highly recommend them. You can focus on one spot and go at it aggressively. The only downside is it takes a little more setup and you want to do more than one when you pull it out. Not as convenient for just cleaning one before you throw it on. I use it first. In a two step system with my vpi doing a fresh water rinse at the end. One of the best value purchases in audio!
