Fancy vacuum machines can almost certainly do better, but they will cost quite a bit more

Think of it as a cheap record cleaning machine.

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.

This does well for the casual listener, but if you spend large amounts of money on expensive and rare vinyl, then I highly recommend a vacuum machine of some type.

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.

It is the best cleaning system to have before you move into a vacume cleaning machine

I couldn't justify the expensive vacuum cleaning machines,

I could never see spending $500-$600 on a record cleaning machine, but for $60-$80 dollars this works great!

but it's not the machine's fault

I give this four stars at least as this does provide an alternative to the costly record cleaning machines.

I felt that if I was going to sink money into the hobby of vinyl and be a serious collector, I would need to upgrade to a more expensive model cleaning machine

Some vinyl records are not going to be helped by cleaning because of wear or lack of care/damage but this machine really does work

: I purchased a VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine

I always wanted one of those expensive vacuum record cleaning machines but couldn't justify the ridiculous prices.

The Spin Clean Record Washer MKII is A MUST for all vinyl lovers who don't want to or can't afford to spend several hundred dollars for a record cleaning machine.

No more messy or noisy machines

I give this four stars at least as this does provide an alternative to the costly record cleaning machines.

The low cost of this solution means you do have to go through some fiddly dunking and waiting for the LPs to dry, but compared to setting up a pricier machine the labor time difference is marginal

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

Yes, I'd rather have a $400 record cleaning machine

There are also state of art ultrasonic record cleaning machines but these generally cost 20x to 50x more than Spin Clean, justifiable if you have rare (expensive) records or have state of the art turntable and cartridges which cost as much or more than an average family sedan.

If you compare the Spin Clean to record cleaning machines, it is by far the cheapest solution.

I would love the $600 machine, but thats too much for me

Ok,I waited a long time to buy one of these, I read numerous positive and negative reviews before finally breaking down and forking out the $80.I just don't have the money to plunk down $500 for a recording cleaning machine, $500 would buy me a LOT of records or a turntable upgrade

For those that don't want to shell out for a vacuum-based record cleaning machine (RCM) this is a good intermediary step and the cheapest record cleaning system I would being to recommend

For me, one of the main minuses of more expensive record cleaning machines is the time they need take to clean each record.

Think of it as a cheap record cleaning machine.

I wanted a record cleaning machine and when I saw the price of basic ones my jaw dropped

Considering the options for cleaning this is a lot easier than other manual methods for cleaning, and is a whole lot cheaper than a cleaning machine.

If you have a large collection of records, I would suggest you consider a vacuum record cleaning machine (RCM), such as the VPI, Nitty Gritty or Okki Nokki.

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,

This Spin Clean machine is great

Before you opt for the big dollar cleaning machines, give this a try.

It’s a cleaning machine that makes you do all the work.

You don't need a much more expensive motorized machine to get your vinyl sparkling and your hiss and pops packing.

My bet is that this system is 95-99% as effective as the $5000 automated machines.

I can also confirm that the Spin-Clean does not scratch LPs, as I have had many LPs - all of which were cleaned first on the Spin-Clean - come out of the VPI machine almost completely free of surface noise

Some albums that had been cleaned previously, including some with the most highly regarded cleaning machine available, became even more quiet

I will shortly be cleaning up my parents' collection of 40-50 year old records, and I don't know how I'd face it without this great little machine

Anyway, I had started to think I'd only be satisfied with one of the circa $800 automatic record cleaning machines (though I couldn't justify the expense)

I have a 1800 or so classical vinyl LP collection that I have cared for using the Discwasher solution, which I never liked but couldn't afford (and didn't really want) a record cleaning machine

It's worth it, and although I couldn't say it works as well as the $800 machines, it's as close as I'm likely to get, and it does a fantastic job.

You can spend thousands of dollars on a "high end" record cleaning machine, and I'm sure they are very good at what they do

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

I have the Orbitrac 3 Pro and it works pretty well, but not nearly as good as this cleaner

don't clean quite as

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.

I got the MKIII bottle with the MKII unit, so I was initially confused as to how much of the solution to use
