Customer Reviews for VEVOR Ultrasonic Cleaner 6L Ultrasonic Vinyl Cleaner 7-12 Inch 8 Records Ultrasonic Vinyl Cleaning Machine 180W Ultrasonic Records Cleaner with Drying Rack for Home Store

This product has done wonders for removing most of the "snap, crackle, pop" of dirty records. What it won't do is get rid of the "snap" or "pop" due to physically scratched LPs (but what cleaning systems will ?). You can probably use water as a solution to get 90% of the record clean, but you would do well try out the different "brews" to help get the most grime out of the records. I am currently using a solution of distilled water, Triton X-100, a variation of "Quat 256" and isopropyl alcohol to help with the cleaning process.THe downsides:The so-called manual was pretty much useless and identified the use of parts which did not come with the delivered product nor could I identify a use for those alleged missing brackets. I was able to set it for cleaning 12" LPs but I do not see how you would be able to clean 7" LPs without some kind of additional (DIY?) adapters. (No biggie because I have exactly two (2) 7" 45s but in the future...)It would have been nice to be able to remove the tank from the rest of the unit to accommodate cleaning the tank. I usually take the whole unit to the sink to rinse it out and have to be careful to not spill water in areas holding the electronics.Other more expensive solutions exist which are likely more convenient to use but I doubt they are significantly more effective than this relatively "cheap" solution.''I'm currently using the supplied rack for air dry of cleaned records. There may be value-added in adding a vacuum dry cleaning system but the commercial versions are fairly pricey.

This product is the most amazing cleaner I have ever used. Coupled with the proper solvents and I added 99.9% alcohol to the mix to speed drying time. Albums come out looking and sounding like new. A must have for anyone who wants to maintain their record collection and save the life of their equipment.

So, everything you’ve heard about the effectiveness of ultrasonic record cleaning is true. Before and after ultrasonic cleaning is like night and day. This kit is a terrific option. The motor and record attachment are made of metal, not plastic, are of very high quality and work great. The tank is of course widely available separately (and can be used to clean things other than records), but there’s no way you can do better than this set for the price. All you need is distilled water and a cleaning solution (which is a matter of much debate). I also use a Spin Clean to rinse the records afterwards. The included instructions are less than meager, but you will figure it out. Highly recommended.

If you've ever looked into DIY Ultrasonic cleaning for records, which is something of a cottage industry now, you know a couple things. One is that they all employ these cheap ebay/alibaba 6L Ultrasonic cleaners with the blue front and that these cleaners regularly got for $300 or even more. Second, you'd know that the bespoke rigs for getting records to spin inside these cleaners easily go for $150+ and sometimes much more ++. So how is there a kit on Amazon that sells BOTH the cleaner AND a rig for the records for less than $250?? Well I'm here to say its the real deal. It is exactly as advertised. This is a wonderful deal on a great little system for ultrasonically cleaning your records. As for the efficacy of it, theres tons of info on it (in short, it works awesome) cause they all use these types of cleaners and they all just make your record spin slowly inside it.Another review mentioned that the spinner maybe spins a little too quickly and I think I agree, but they also said that putting a lower voltage/amperage power supply on it would make it slow down (thats how electric motors work) so I think I will try that. But even without it, it works great, just let it sit in there for nice and long (I do the whole 30 minutes). Also I put 5 at a time and how not noticed a problem.A great little system for an amazing price.

Finally, after years of trying different vinyl record cleaning schemes, a method that works really well.I have tried sink washing, spin washing, wood glue, vaccum, brushing and every youtube trick in the book with results that kept me looking for a better way. Now my search has successfully concluded with this product. Here is the process I use:Step 1: Mix up a batch of library of congress record cleaning solution. About an eye dropper makes a gallon. Put solution in the cavitation tank to a level that will cover the last record track.Step 2: brush or rinse loose dirt off of both sides of the records you intend to clean before placing up to 3 on the spinning shaft with the round spacers in between. You could fit twice as many, but I doubt it would allow enough cavitation to develop.Step 3: Set temperature and time. You may wish to experiment here. I like to have the solution warm to the touch and run the cavitation for 10 to 20 mins more or less depending on how dirty the vinyl.Step 4 : Remove and rinse then place on drying rack.Step 5: After drying I use a microfiber cloth to catch the occasional water spot and then put the vinyl in it's antistatic sleeve.Result: most of the time, a super quiet clean record. I can now stop pretending to like crackles and pops.This product was shipped super fast from a US location. The price was lower than other cavitation setups and the record holder / spinner was extremely well made.

I’ve been wanting an ultrasonic record cleaner for years. I found this at a good price and decided to give it a whirl. The box arrived safely and the contents looked good. I immediately began setting up the attachment that spins the records. The directions in the box are useless, but it’s not a hard set up. After everything was ready to go, I reached for the power supply to plug into the motor, and it didn’t fit. I contacted the seller and he gave me me a couple of options. I wound up ordering a different power supply from another vendor for $12 and the seller offered a $20 refund. The new power supply worked and the unit was functional. After cleaning a few records, I got the hang of it. The trick is to make the spacers very tight with the screw on knob so that water can not drip between the spacers and the label. You’ll also need to buy a wetting agent. I opted for Kodak photo-flo 200. I’ve found that 6 records will fit comfortably in the tank, and 20 minutes will get your record clean. I’ve included before and after photos of an album I cleaned using this machine. I can hear a noticeable difference in the sound quality of a cleaned record. Nice piece of equipment for the money.

Cleaned about 25 albums so far and I am pretty happy with things. Out of the box there are screws that screw into threads to secure the motor to the tank. These were both really tight and I was afraid of 'stripping' the tapped hole. I managed to lube them and one threaded easily backwards (which still attached the motor to the tank). Otherwise it is a straight forward operation and actually easier then vacuum or spin cleaning. I can't really see the 'bubbles' of the cavacation but did notice quite a bit of gunk when I emptied the water. The heater works fine. You can do 3 records at a time which I think is enough.

Haven't had opportunity to clean records that are in need of cleaning.. but unit operates as described and looks like a solid piece of equipment... only time will tell.

This machine does exactly as it was intended. This machine gives you the ability to clean multiple records in one pass and does an excellent job as well. Label guards are effective at keeping labels dry.
