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

I was somewhat disappointed with its ability to clean record albums. Perhaps I was hoping for a miracle machine and it didn’t live up to that high praise. It does clean and as others have said it is noisy. I was most impressed with the seller who responded quickly to any of my concerns.

Instructions needed to be improved but a common sense setup. It worked very well with the solutions mix I found online! It was noisy, but I put rubber pads on the feet of the unit which reduced some of the noise.

Husband likes it however hasn't used it yet.

I have never heard of ultra sonic cleaning for vinyl until I attended a record show at a local hall. I have a decent size collection and have always been into albums even before they made a comeback. This machine got and continues to remove decades of dirt from the grooves. I had a few albums that were unlistenable and ran them through a cycle 10 min or so and they sound brand new. What you see in my pic is “Meet The Beatles” I been cleaning my entire collection. I used a legit album to show how good this product works. The only downside is the spacers. Go to a hardware store and buy sunk drain gaskets. You want to glue them to the spacers to create a gasket to prevent water from getting the paper label wet. Once you get the feel of the machine you can tweak the cleaning solution. I use the recommended Triton but added a but of white vinegar and rubbing alcohol (2 tablespoons). Also, if you have a dog the sound of the machine drives mine nuts.

Great for getting dust particles off records

This cleaner is amazing!!! It brought back albums I thought were hopeless!

Dug out my old collection of albums; some in good shape, some not so much. While I did not expect damaged records to sound like new; I was pleasantly surprised at how well this unit cleaned. Let’s see how long it lasts. Overall, I think this is a great value.

This generic ultrasonic cleaner can clean tools, glasses, jewelry, etc., but with its purpose-built bracket, spindle and motor it is designed for deep cleaning LP vinyl records. It's very effective at that. I ran it at 30º C [approx. 86º F] for 30 minutes per 8-record batch. The amount of \"crud\" that came off of my records and out of their grooves to collect in the bottom of the tank was disgustingly impressive. For cleaning fluid I was using distilled water (the tank hold approx. 6 liters or a bit over a gallon) + a capful of Kodak Photo-Flo as surfactant. Unfortunately, the motor that rotates the LPs through the ultrasonic cleaning fluid stopped rotating after 4-5 days of use and fewer than 10 batches of records. (The spindle holds 8 records per batch.) I was not pushing the machine hard, allowing it plenty of time to cool down between cleaning batches. Note: The motor and the ultrasonic cleaner each plug in separately; you'll need two outlets to plug both things in. And the heater does not stop when the ultrasonic cleaner's timer expires so you must turn the heat off yourself. Yes, it's noisy at an irritating frequency but it's not deafening. I put it in a distant room and shut the door. I also added a couple of fender washers to the bolt for the motor mount to make it more secure and easy to raise and lower.

This unit DOES work and does work well, but there are some things to be aware of: TL;DR: It’s a bit fiddly to get working properly and it IS noisy, but it does a great job of cleaning vinyl records, even with straight distilled water. Don’t run it too hot, or too full, and make sure everything is properly assembled before use. Run a full cleaning cycle, just for the tank, when you first get it. Always wipe down the inside of the tank with clean microfiber after use. At length: 1) While the tank should be clean when you first receive it, give it 30 minutes with just distilled water at at least 30 C before you start washing records. Mine actually left an oily film on top of the water! Nothing I want to be submerging my precious collection in! Dump the water and then start again from fresh, giving the tank a quick wipe down with a new, or at least very clean microfiber cloth. Wipe it down between uses too! While most of the gunk will go out the tap with the water, some stays behind and will dry on the bottom of the tank if you don’t wipe it up first. 2) Use a separate thermometer! I actually use two, a meat probe and an infrared. Both have confirmed that the water, in my experience anyway, gets three or four degrees warmer than what is indicated on the display. I'm not sure where records start to warp (some say 60 C or even sooner) but it seems the general consensus is that 30 C is about as high as you want to go, 40 C max, for any extended amount of time. 3) There IS a flat surface on the spindle for the screw to tighten against and it does work. Get your best phillips screw driver out for this though, get it as tight as possible, and check it every batch. I thought I had it tight but after my first two batches of albums, the spindle just pulled off. I suspect that the ultrasonics vibrate the screw and make it back out, if it isn't REALLY tight. You also must make sure that the spindle fully contacts the face of the motor, through the lift groove, befo

I was not really sold on how this would work when I bought it, but now that I have used it, I am very impressed. The records come out looking almost new, the surface noise is much lower. Its noisy but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I am now working on every album I have :-) I add about 15-20 drops of Tergikleen to the distilled water. You will not be disappointed!
