VEVOR Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaner 6L 40kHz Vinyl Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine Knob Control Record Ultrasonic Cleaner 4 Records Vinyl Sonic Cleaner Stainless Steel Tank w/Mechanical Heater & Timer

As a vinyl junkie for over 50 years, I've always prided myself on having pristine records, always clean, using manual cleaners, discwasher and other systems to keep my records clean. I have records from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Nothing works anywhere near what this system does.I've been cleaning my full collection, 4 discs at a time, and it's hard to believe the difference. I've taken new records that sounded muddy and gotten crystal clear fidelity from them. I've taken 50+ year old records that were covered in dust and made them sound like new.I've assumed in the past that if I couldn't see the dirt, the record was clean, but when you put them in for a 30 minute bath, there are small piles of silt in the bottom of the cleaner. When I drain the bath and let it dry, it's a very fine grit on the bottom. I typically clean 12 to 20 records between water changes.I use a simple formula of a few drops of Dawn dishwashing soap to break down any oils, a few drops of Jetdry finish dishwasher fluid to break surface tension, and about a half cup of hydrogen peroxide to kill any mold or fungus. Then fill the tank with filtered water. This costs about 20 cents a tank at most.I then use a home made wet vac attachment to suck the fluid off each record when I pull it out. This keeps any water from drying on the album itself.The results are dramatic, it's not just in the reduction of clicks and pops but also the sonic quality dramatically improves. One example was on a Traffic album where the music build to a crescendo, it always sounded muddy, vocals were hard to distinguish, keyboards muffled, etc, now comes out clear as ever. The vocals come out cleaner, the high end is clearer.I'm 90% of the way through my collection and I can't believe the difference it's making.I've attached photos of the silt on the bottom of the bath after 8 records, which looked clean, and of my wet vac tool.If you have a large collection or buy vinyl on a regular basis, this is the best investment you can make. I have about 2000 albums, so cost per album cleaned is less than a penny. You could probably make a side business cleaning other's vinyl collections!

I bought this with the primary goal of using it for (vinyl) record cleaning.Plusses!* Effective and economical ultrasonic cleaning* Adjustable heat* MVP spacers for records* Simultaneously clean up to 4 recordsMinuses ):* Vinyl spacers could be better* Motor mounting is for cave man* Axle mounting could be betterAlso Know* Temp gauge is inaccurate (meh)* Noisy!!! (meh)* BYOBThis unit is dead simple to use. Just be aware the printed thermostat calibration could be pretty far off (mine reads really low). Ultrasound cycle is limited to 30 minutes max on a dial timer. No worries there.Using this for vinyl? It comes with 5 plastic discs, a spacer cylinder, and a nut that all stack onto an axle that spins around in the water bath (slowly) thank to the driver motor/axle assembly that hangs on one side of the unit.The motor thang is nice and is mounted in aluminum cast. There is no consideration for mounting this aluminum body to the edge of the bath itself, so I used a bit of packing material to pad the interface.An axle attaches to the motor shaft with a collar and set screw--the screw is cheap and will strip if you put pressure on it. And it will work loose at some point anyway because the thread pitch is from kindergarten. This could be a lot better. The axle is a nicely machined part. Why forsake a decent set screw?The PTFE spacers are ok. They could be better engineered for this purpose though. I think the material is fine. The radius falls slightly short of covering some labels -- these spacers are supposed to protect the labels. It would also be better if they had a shallow bore so that bulgy labels would be enveloped instead of causing a spacer to simply gap out.I don't mind the inaccurate temp dial. It's not that far off, and it doesn't detract from my ability to use it. For vinyl, you only need 1/5th of the scale anyway.It is noisy and horrible sounding and terrible for ears. All of those. I wear ear plugs around it, and I put it in the basement. That works for me.For vinyl cleaning, or anything else for that matter, you're on your own as far as chemicals and process. Stay safe folks!

Easy to set up and use. I use a solution of distilled water and Tergikleen. 20 minutes at 32 degrees C(about 90F), rinse with distilled water, wipe with microfiber cloth or air dry(I use a vac system), and your albums are like new. Static and clicks and pops are nearly non-existent. Reveals details in the music that dirt and dust hide from you. Worth every penny, and pays for itself when you spend your money on used records instead of new.

WOW! LOVE IT! I'm a professional (online) vinyl dealer and have always wanted one, this actually made it affordable and it works great. My only complaint is that it now only comes with 5 spacers (enough to clean 4 records at a time) and I'd like to find 4 more. I've also read that it works even better if you can slow the device that spins the records so they spin more slowly through the water. Since it uses a different power supply than the ultrasonic device, it seems there's an adapter that can be purchased to provide a lower voltage (4.5 volts I think?) which effectively slows it. Would love to be able to buy that as well.
