Reviews around job (4.81 of 5)

  • Does a good job cleaning, too, although it needs to be broken in
  • So once you've got the Spin Clean, each successive cleaning job is really cheap
  • The Spin Clean does an excellent job with mildy dirty records but wood glue just blows it out of the water when it comes to really digging into the grooves to get gunk out.2
  • The spin clean does a great job cleaning records and is easy to use.
  • Easy to use dies excellent job, much better than Hi Fi Parastat

Reviews around fluid (4.54 of 5)

  • The cleaning fluid will clean about 50 records before needing to change water as stated on the bottle of cleaner
  • It really does clean the vinyl efficiently and the cleaning fluid seems to go a long way
  • First, it makes sense to set aside a few hours and clean a bunch of records at a time, maybe 35-50, otherwise you're wasting cleaning fluid and setup time
  • Its not magic, two brushes, two rollers, and a bottle of cleaning fluid
  • It's a tank of cleaning fluid with brushes on each side of the tank at the center.

Reviews around product (4.43 of 5)

  • This is a fantastic product if you have more then a few albums to clean
  • This a great product for clearing your vinyl, it is easy to operate and set up and it simple works
  • All in all, this is a great product and at $79 is a good deal.
  • Poor the product over the two brushes and let it sink in a little
  • The product itself Works great, pity about the ridiculous price.

Reviews around system (4.12 of 5)

  • So, maybe this record cleaning system was intended for really dirty records?
  • I don't think this primitive cleaning system is worth $80
  • This a terrific system for those that want to take good care of your vinyl but do not want to purchase an expensive record cleaning system.
  • If I really want those records clean, I'll probably need to buy a much more expensive cleaning system.
  • Recommend you buy it, use it, and then if you want to go the extra yard, invest in a more expensive system later if you feel you need it

Reviews around brush (4.04 of 5)

  • I have used multiple different record cleaning brushes, static brushes, guns, etc
  • I have used multiple different record cleaning brushes, static brushes, guns, etc
  • One may want to use an anti-static solution and anti-static brush when the record is cleaned and dried.
  • Soaked in the solution, the brushes clean the record surface as you turn the record by hand.
  • Does make for a good night listening to records while you clean, but this is barely a step above a nice cleaning brush

Reviews around solution (3.95 of 5)

  • The cleaning solution was filthy after several albums being cleaned
  • You will have to turn the record in the cleaning container and solution by yourself
  • I realized that the solution in SpinClean got dirty pretty quickly and drying the vinyl removed some of that but not all of it from the record
  • The cleaning solution was filthy after several albums being cleaned
  • If you compare the Spin Clean to record cleaning machines, it is by far the cheapest solution.

Reviews around vinyl (3.90 of 5)

  • It brings back the shine as if they were new and clears up a lot of the pops and crackles that you would normally hear with dirty vinyl
  • It does what you want it to do, clean vinyl records albeit slowly and laboriously
  • , I restored some really bad old vinyl, just surprised me
  • Its cheep, but not inexpensive....on the good side, it works well to CLEAN & MAINTAIN dirty vinyl.
  • but until then I'll keep cleaning my vinyl with Spin Clean.

Reviews around sound (3.81 of 5)

  • Still, it is time well spent because the process gets your records clean and in doing so will not only improve the sound but will also delay wear on your stylus and the record itself
  • I can't say that it's made my already "clean" records sound better, but they certainly sound good and LOOKED very clean.
  • Clean records sound so much better, and this system is an easy way to get them clean without getting the label wet.
  • the records sound clean with high fidelity and very few, if any, skips due to dust
  • This will remove the left behind residue which can produce a slight static sound

Reviews around machine (3.76 of 5)

  • For me, one of the main minuses of more expensive record cleaning machines is the time they need take to clean each record.
  • If you're serious about your records, I would urge you to combine the Spin-Clean with a vacuum-based record cleaning machine.
  • However, if you are a serious collector don't fool yourself into thinking that the Spin Clean will substitute for a vacuum-based or ultrasonic record cleaning machine,
  • I couldn't justify the expensive vacuum cleaning machines,
  • so yes I am disappointed but not really surprised once I saw the brushes that the machine uses.if you have records that you don't clean regularly this will probably

Reviews around album (3.68 of 5)

  • The rollers jump around and move, everything has a very cheap feel to it - but it did clean my albums very well.
  • I can clean 20 - 25 dirty albums before the water is dirty and needs changing
  • Labels stay dry but it really gets those dirty albums clean
  • It doesn't clean all albums as deeply as the old "wood glue" method, but it does pretty close.
  • The rollers jump around and move, everything has a very cheap feel to it - but it did clean my albums very well.

Reviews around thing (3.53 of 5)

  • I love this thing but it is SO expensive for a plastic bathtub for records.
  • But was blown away by how well it cleaned my vinyls, the only thing I noticed was there were a few things pops on the banks before each track, but the tracks themselves have yet to have and pops or distortion, in fact they sound even better
  • As sensitive people are with records, this thing is great to have
  • When I say this thing cleans and de-statics the vinyl, it DOES!!
  • Only bad thing is that ....its pretty expensive for what it is

Reviews around plastic (2.00 of 5)

  • I tried my friend's VPI 16.5 record clean machine, and felt that spin clean + wood glue results in the similar quality of cleaning as with the VPI cleaner.
  • As the description says, you can clean up to 50 LP’s on one tank, and it can sit for up to a week
  • It's made of cheap plastic and it takes a huge amount of labor to use
  • The plastic feels a little cheap, but who wants to pay more for precision-lathed rollers?
  • It is essentially a strong plastic tub that has 2 soft brushes that face each other in the middle of the tub.

Reviews around wear (1.95 of 5)

  • I have the Orbitrac 3 Pro and it works pretty well, but not nearly as good as this cleaner
  • Keep in mind that you only really need to clean the disc once, repeated cleanings will likely cause unnecessary wear
  • Still, it is time well spent because the process gets your records clean and in doing so will not only improve the sound but will also delay wear on your stylus and the record itself
  • I got the MKIII bottle with the MKII unit, so I was initially confused as to how much of the solution to use
  • And it allows me to clean records faster as I don't have to wait for them to dry on a dish rack before putting them into a new sleeve

Reviews around pop (1.95 of 5)

  • The unit has eliminated the static electricity pops I was getting from dry cleaning the discs.
  • After cleaning them with this system, they still have some pops but sound
  • I'm also finding that static pops are pretty much eliminated after cleaning and the vinyl seems less resistant to accumulating more dust, so brushing is not needed as often
  • The music became clearer, the backgrounds got quieter, and pops and clicks were reduced significantly on older albums.
  • A $1 record I bought from a thrift store that popped and clicked
  • Read remaining 15 reviews for pop

Reviews around dirt (1.87 of 5)

  • That's OK, though I can't see what dirt comes off the records until I dump the water in the sink
  • I used to have the old dry brushes to clean the visible dirt and dust off my records - but that was nothing compared to the Spin-Clean Record Washer System.
  • but it does clean more dirt out than just using a brush.
  • The brushes seem to get into the grooves to remove dirt and dust quite well
  • Though it seems possible for dirt to get onto the pads and scratch the records, it has never happened to

Reviews around surface noise (1.75 of 5)

  • I played one when I arrived home and there was next to no surface noise.
  • The dishwater I made fun of is actually Spin Clean’s fluid that you mix with distilled water.
  • As the description says, you can clean up to 50 LP’s on one tank, and it can sit for up to a week
  • The removal of the surface noise was the case on the 49 other records I cleaned.
  • All of the records I cleaned with dehumidified water played with a barest minimum of surface noise.

Reviews around mix (1.54 of 5)

  • I brought this product after reading mixed reviews on amazon but no regrets of buying
  • As with any cleaning method, the best is usually a mix of different ways - bath cleaning, brush cleaning and roller cleaning are my methods
  • Sounded bad, the mix is just awful and there was a LOT of surface noise
  • I thought I would have to throw this record away, but now it is clean enough to add to my collection.....even though it has a horrible, horrible mix
