We Vinyl Ultrasonic or Vacuum Cleaner?

@neonknight 

My message to you was flagged so I responded by letter.  I have to say I have never had an issue with a stylus being coated with a film on a new record.  As a rule I do not clean new records as some have recommended.  

Interesting thread!  I'm going to try a HumminGuru.  My modest vinyl setup has been neglected but I'd love to start using it again if there's an easy way to clean my small collection and the occasional thrift-store find or Discogs purchase.

@dogearedaudio if looking at the HumminGuru you can still get the original model, but the upgraded Nova adds some additional features that caused me to stretch for that model, including a different set of transducers that sweeps the frequency for better cleaning.  It has done very very well for me, I think it performs better than the larger tank style that others talk about (and that style was not bad). 

@neonknight there are a number of reviews out there on the HumminGuru that talk about the tank size and the effectiveness of it.  If you are doing some comparisons be sure to check them out on YouTube. 

Your question is simple but you got some complicated answers

If you buy a new record , clean it and store it in a MOFI or any good quality poly sleeve and you probably won’t ever have to wash it again

I’ve tried nearly every cleaning machine and the got the 

Elmasonic P60 H with the recommendation of a record cleaning service that washes records commercially for a living

You will need a rotisserie like the Vinyl Stack product that’s been discontinued but you may find one used 

The Elmasonic cavitates at 2 different frequencies small and large bubbles 

15 minutes and the record comes out completely clean

air dry for 15-20 minutes and your done

Good luck

@larryincmh Thanks, Larry.  The Nova is a bit beyond my budget, but thanks for the heads up.  I really don't need much, using a SpinClean now, which actually isn't bad for a very basic cleaning, but I the HumminGuru will be a big improvement.  Years ago I had one of the classic vacuum tables but it was in poor condition and I hated the noise and mess.  I never really felt it was doing a good job.  If the HumminGuru works out I might be able to return it and upgrade next month, so I'll keep that in mind.
