Better, I'm not sure. In terms of the record cleaner component of the Kaiu kit, it's about the same. The Kaiu Kit is both less expensive and more comprehensive, as it includes a stylus cleaner, a static brush, and a soft velvet tine brush similar to the disc washer brush. I've previously used the Disc Washer brand and still have my brush. I believe they are overpriced in comparison to the value they provide. However, before I do a deep clean with a Record Doctor, I use my Kaiu Kit as a pre-cleaning tool.
Yes, the silicone label protector is included in the kit.
You'll have to address your query to the seller directly. When it comes to questions and concerns, they are very quick to respond.
Yes, there was a cleaning cloth included. It's quite small, and I believe mine was tucked into the lid of one of the bottles, so it wasn't always visible. I read other people's comments and they all said the same thing.
Selected User Reviews For KAIU Vinyl Record & Stylus Cleaning Brush Combo - 2-in-1 Anti Static Carbon Fiber Brush Kit for LPs & Turntable Needles - Remove Dust & Debris - No Scratch Cleaner & Album Player Maintenance Pack
The most comprehensive is the best. Even better than some more expensive alternatives. Submersible cleaners are the best option for a deep clean, but they aren't the best choice for routine dusting and cleaning. This kit is a great deal that compares favorably to a wide range of other options, including more expensive ones that don't provide any better alternatives. The contents are mostly rebranded generic products, but they are very well coordinated and branded, and offer a great value in how they are brought together, and it is color coordinated and looks very nice. Quality is about as good as you'd expect for a product of this type, and you won't find anything better unless you're willing to spend at least another 20 bucks. Even at $30, it's debatable whether or not it's truly worthwhile. The static brush is conductive and uses your body to mitigate the static, but it only gets rid of it a little bit. It's a generic rebrand, so it's the same one you'll find in a lot of other kits and is often sold single, but it's a generic rebrand so it's the same one you'll find in a lot of other kits and is often sold single, but it's conductive and uses your body to mitigate the static but only gets rid The majority of what it excels at is picking up dirt before and after games, and it is extremely effective at this. When used as directed, it will remove the majority of artifacts from the record's surface; I now keep it next to the record player at all times. The spray and felt brush work well together, but it can be difficult to evenly distribute the spray around the record, which isn't a major issue. Most of the static is removed by the spray, but some remains. However, it does a good job of cleaning the records. In terms of how much static they remove, almost all of these kits will be the same. The best way to get rid of all of the static is to use a submersible bath. These, on the other hand, are effective at removing the majority of the static. You'll notice that your stylus picks up residue from the spray after you've played the records, so don't use more than is necessary or directed. Overall, this is an excellent little kit, and this is my most candid review. I'm very pleased with it, and if I ever require additional supplies, I'll contact this vendor first.
BUT I DO NOT RECOMMEND FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLYING THE CLEANING LIQUID INCLUDED IN THE BOX. It's impossible to get a nice even coverage when spraying directly on the record. Too much of it gets stuck in the nooks and crannies. I had a lot of debris on the needle after listening to an album, which came from areas where there was too much cleaner. Because of this, I'm still cleaning up a couple albums and hoping they're not damaged. I suggest squirting the liquid onto a velvet brush and applying it that way. You have a lot more control over the amount of liquid you use, and the coverage is more even. After that, I clean it off with another velvet brush. The instruction manual is overly simplified for a high-quality record cleaning kit. I can't believe they tell you to spray the liquid directly on the record; you'd think they'd test it out first. The only reason I gave it only four stars is because of this. This is something I'll bring up with the manufacturer.
This is an incredible kit. I would strongly suggest it. The microfiber cloth is located inside the spray cap, which initially perplexed me, but this was due to user error (as stated on the information slip included). Sound quality is better than ever!.
There is, however, a significant flaw that you must be aware of before using it. In regards to the anti- The sharp ends on the four corners of each side of the static record brush are just below the bottom of the brissels at both ends, which I discovered while GENTLY moving the brush along the record and hearing a loud kkkrrrgghhh. Huh! Oh no! Then, all of a sudden, a large deep penetrating scratch appeared on one side of my (valuable) and rare record. Needless to say, I was quite upset about the situation, and I've since covered the sharp corners at the brush's ends with electrical tape in the hopes of covering up those tiny protruding sharp corners so that hopefully this problem won't occur again. If I had known this was a possibility before purchasing the kit, I would not have purchased it because the kit's cost is significantly less than the cost of the record that was damaged. I'm hoping I've fixed the problem and that I'll be able to use this item again in the future.
The box was leaking cleaning fluid when it arrived, so there was a lot of damage. The fiber brush had become saturated as well. When I removed the plastic cover from the fluid to reveal the sprayer, at least an ounce of fluid spilled into my lap from the sprayer that had leaked from the bottle. Not good. br>br>From the photos, it's obvious why. The spray head's seal isn't quite right. The bottle is not sealed properly because it is too narrow in the center and too wide in diameter. The bottle should come with a secure cap and a sprayer packaged separately, as one edge of the seal is pushed into the bottle, allowing fluid to leak through. I had to use a cap from another bottle to wrap the bottle as a gift and prevent further leakage. This must be corrected! br>br> I shouldn't have to make any changes to the product in order to present it.
This was a 5-star product for a few weeks, and the anti-static / dust brush is the same as the Boundless one, which costs $16 on its own. The Liquid cleaner and stylus brush appear to be sufficient. HOWEVER. Both records I "cleaned" were completely destroyed by the record cleaning liquid. The two records were an Ornette Coleman 2 x 45 on the ORG label and a Miles Davis 45 on the MSFL label. These items cost more than $100 when purchased as a package. They have almost no surface noise, and the surface noise was ridiculous after using the cleaner according to the manufacturer's instructions. It had to be Rice Krispies! I followed the instructions to the letter. I tried cleaning the mess with a mild cleaner, but the damage had already been done. It became impossible to listen to audiophile records. This is a disaster.
