Vinyl Record Cleaner Spin Kit System, Cleaning Fluid, Drying Rack, Brushes, and Microfiber Cloths for 7", 10", 12" Vinyl Disc

To begin with, this could be a more effective record cleaner. I only have one issue with it, which I'll describe below. I'm not new to the design; I've had a spin clean for years and am familiar with its operation. I've decided to use this only to rinse records due to one problem, and it's not a small one. br> Advantagesbr> 1. It has a nice design.
2. A spin clean is more expensive.
3. There is a record rack included. br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. This is the only negative aspect of the product. When cleaning 45s, there is no brush pressure. I know the brushes aren't getting into the grooves because they can be turned with just one finger. The 33s are a little better, but there's still not enough pressure to get a thorough clean.

First and foremost, let me explain why I ordered this device: Friends and family have given me a large number of old vinyl records in recent years, something that most people crated when the CD was introduced and most sane people switched from analog to digital music. The givaways ranged in condition from pristine (albums still sealed in their cellophane covers) to basket cases with rotten jackets and ridden with fungy, deeply embedded dust and what-have-you. spills that haven't been dry for a long time I saw this or a similar device on YouTube and found it on Amazon, so I figured it would be useful. Not. 1. br>br> You won't want to use this vinyl record cleaning bath to clean one or two records and then put them away for a few days before using them again. The manufacturer claims that the solution (approximately 700ml) will only last a week after being set up. I sealed mine in a stoppered glass bottle with a tight cork in the hopes of preserving it for a longer period of time. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br I managed some spillage because I didn't think about pouring out the solution. This is definitely something that should be done in a garage or shop. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. The system relies on a couple of velour brushes, which are similar to the small pads used in the 1950s to brush vinyl records. These firmly grip the sides of the record, making it difficult to turn it by hand while pinching the edge with both thumb and index fingers (three turns one way, three turns the other). 4. br>br> Performing Arts: To test the performance, I washed a small batch of six records, ranging from slightly dirty to a pair of basket basket cases with fungi or deeply embedded dust; both had previously been washed in the sink with sponge. Brush with a strong degreasing solution from the dishwasher. br>The milder cases were cleaned adequately, but there was nothing better, faster, or more convenient than using the kitchen sink, dish drying rack, and a 3M dish scrubbing sponge - For extremely dirty discs, I previously used this method. The hard cases, on the other hand (isn't that what you want it for? ), were completely unaffected by the cleaning solution and/or method. They looked squeaky clean when they were done, but the deep dirt was unaffected. Keep in mind that these records have not been abused in any way; they have not been skippy, scratched, or gouged. Simply ill-stored in damp locations for decades, and filthy inside the grooves. 5. br>br> The plastic rack is useful for allowing the discs to air, but the manual instructs you to dry the records with the provided microfiber towel, so it's not much more than a place to put them out of the way while you finish washing the rest of your batch. The rack fits neatly in the tank's bottom, but when you take it out to use it, some of the silicone tips fall out. 6. br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br> After use, put it away. a common annoyance The manual recommends removing the brushes (velour pads), rinsing them thoroughly with warm water, squeezing as much moisture out as possible, and then allowing them to air dry completely. Rinse the main tank in the same manner and allow to air dry. I resurrected a blow dryer from my old darkroom, which had been waiting for the revival of chemical photo prints. The system is packaged in a nice box that you should keep to avoid losing pieces. In addition, the manufacturer included three extra silicone tips for the rack, as I believe they are frequently lost. Get yourself a good 3/4L bottle to store your mixed solution and keep a small ziplock bag handy for the loose items to store. br>br>To summarize, I believe you could achieve similar results using a Kalaok LP Vinyl Record Cleaner Clamp, a 15"x15"x5" plastic pan, and a 3M dish cleaning sponge/fiber plus dish washing degreasing soap, all of which are available on Amazon.

I didn't have any issues with residue or film being present on my records after cleaning, but the drying cloth did begin to scatter dust on my records near the end of the cleaning process, which is very counterintuitive to the cleaning process, especially for my newer records. While my 12 inch records fit snugly between the brushes, I agree with other reviewers that 45s have no pressure. It slid way too loosely between the brushes, and after running it through, an extremely dirty 45 I had looked barely different. It makes me wonder how effective these brush sets are in general, and I'm thinking about replacing them with some from Spin-Off. Clean (alone costing nearly 40 dollars). Overall, in my experience, this set will clean the surface level of all your records and help reduce pops and crackle from the poorer ones. But it didn't bring any truly bad records back to life, nor did it fix skips or locked grooves, and it's certainly not cleaning 45s with any real force, so don't expect miracles. The rest of the components, on the other hand, are in good working order, and purchasing it and possibly replacing the brushes with Spin-On brushes is a good idea. Cleans would be roughly the same price as a single basic Spin-off. Unit is in good shape.

That is the number of drying rack slots available. Prior to cleaning, there was visible dirt on my LPs. The dry brushing method was ineffective. After drying, the LPs looked shiny and clean after being cleaned with this. Since the dust particles were removed, the playback quality significantly improved.

I was apprehensive about this product, but I have a sizable record collection. Finally, I decided to give it a shot. They must be cleaned in order to be salvaged. I couldn't believe how much of a difference such a simple product could make.

I placed an order, and it was delivered the next day. The quality of this product is 100% excellent, and everything exceeds my expectations. It includes everything you'll need to clean several vinyl discs. This unit completely cleans all of my record collection and all of my collections are 100% clean. This kit has made me very happy.

I have a collection of old 33 1/3 records that were in desperate need of cleaning. It worked perfectly after I set it up according to the instructions. The only issue you may encounter is if you have 78 records to clean. Because they're so thick, removing them from the unit may be difficult. I'll notify you as soon as I have more information.

It performs admirably. To save liquid, make sure the cover is tightly sealed. It worked well for cleaning 2 dozen 45s. Due to tape residue, the worst offenders had to be treated with alcohol. The only thing that could improve it is if it were motorized.
