Latest customer feedback:

Not sure I ever gave feedback after purchasing mine. It is brilliant, far more effective than the bath (spin clean) and vacuum (project) ones I had before. I wouldn’t contemplate using anything else now. I’ve got a mate who keeps bringing batches of records every time he comes round because he can’t believe how much of a difference it makes when I run them through my VV for him while he sits downstairs drinking my beer.

Love mine. I still use the Moth to dry but the VV does the cleaning. Get plenty of new anti static inner sleeves.

I really need to sort out some more cleaning fluid!

Oh balls.
I’ve noticed the tail end of my collection the records have loads of water marks on them. Probably because I was getting tired of cleaning so many and didn’t allow them time to dry.

I doubt it’s audible but annoying all the same. I guess I’ll just pull them out and redo them again.

They all use the thinner poly lined sleeves, the last batch I got from covers33 are different and a bit thicker.

What do you think? Not enough alcohol/surfactant or not letting them dry enough. Will identify which and just redo them one day I suppose.

When I clean more than one,I stand them upright for an hour before putting them in polylined sleeve

Yeah I had them in the rack for longer than that I think. New sleeves for all of them that just use a paper one.

Could be the fluid mix or the fact I was getting bored at the tail end of 300

I had the same. When I had cleaned about 25 records I found a lot of mix had evaporated and gradually hadn’t cleaned the last track at all. Needed to top up.

Did you make more mix up or just put more in
Just bought another 5L water so will do the stained ones with a fresh mix

Got two racks so will just leave twelve to dry for a few hours

I replace the mix completely every 40 or so records depending on how dirty the mix looks. If I’m pausing I’ll drain out, filter through a coffee filter and top up with a new mix next start. Keep the cover on while warming up or leaving mix in overnight so it doesn’t evaporate.

Staring down the barrel of owning one of these and wondered about people’s experiences cleaning multiple records?

surely if the transducers are in the sidewalls of the bath facing inwards, and create ultrasonic waves that propagate from this location, if you use more than one record, you massively reduce the efficiency of the waves hitting the inside edges of the records that aren’t facing the sides of the bath.

I clean 3 at a time with no problems.

The transducers are in the bottom firing upwards not in the sides.
I’ve done lots of testing and supply the spacers for doing three at a time.
This is maximum that can be cleaned effectively at once.
I hope this helps

That does, hugely.

There’s a used one local to me that I’m
Going to take, and I’d love to clean up the bulk buy of classical I bought, so efficient cleaning of a few at a time is very helpful

I’ll need to start researching what solution to use etc!

I plan to probably use my project vc to dry each album after cleaning

Same here. I’ve done around 800 lps 3 at a time over the last few months. Would recommend you get a supply of decent inner sleeves as well.

I have a massive stack of rice paper three ply inners and poly outers all waiting

No new LP enters my collection without a new sleeve (unless it’s a craft / mofi/ tone poet and already has a good sleeve)
