On the Nitty Gritty, you are supposed to apply the cleaning liquid to the velvet lips and then rotate the record to allow the lips to do the scrubbing. It is a relatively small amount of fluid and does not drip significantly. You can turn the wet side upright and do some additional agitation by hand with a brush, which is all to the good, but then you just turn it over and vacuum it up. For $200 it looks like a great deal. The price is likely due to the fact that it doesn't spin the record for you and it's made in China.
Record Doctor V - why the $200 price tag
I cant seem to reason why what appears to be the same essential design as the nitty gritty 1.0 is so much cheaper.

I would like a record cleaning machine, and would love for anyone to tell me why this model would accomplish less of a thorough cleaning job, than the VPI, or the nitty gritty.
It seems to me that the basic concept is the same. 1) brush 2) fluid 3) vacuum
is there something Im missing?
