Talked to a dealer regarding the Kirmuss loves how it cleans hates the process. As a result it sits unused most of the time.
That is the problem with many RCMs and cleaning processes, and the appeal of units like the Audio Desk and Klaudio, which offer a one-button process. I cleaned more LPs during my first month with the Klaudio than I did in probably the last five using my Nitty Gritty.

A big problem with machines like the Audio Desk ( I own one) and the KL is the inability to be able to actually clean the inside water tank ...
I have the Klaudio. When the tank is drained, any crud is drained with it. There’s a window that lets you see inside the tank.

Klaudio also made a model that omitted the tank and relied on a direct connection to a faucet instead. But the Klaudio units are currently out of production and rarely show up used.

My opinion for record cleaning machines is that they are useful if you buy a lot of used dirty records. I try to keep mine pristine and only use a carbon fiber brush to remove dust ...
Your LPs aren't pristine if all you use is a carbon brush to clean them. If you want proof, just look at the gunk that's accumulating on your stylus.
