Record cleaning machine

Agree with the above, but don't discount Nitty Gritty. Build is not as good as VPI but the design is better for removing the smallest particles of dirt and scrunge. The vacuum works with gravity rather than against it and parts are reasonable and available, plus its less expensive on the used market than VPI!

Lifihi.guy is right. The VPI 16.5 is great for cleaning volumes of records well and will last forever. Only reason to go up a VPI-17F would be if if you are cleaning thousands of records and trying to do 50+ an hour. Save the bucks and put those $ towards some favorate recordings

Thanks everyone. Your suggestions really help me in my decision making.

I AGREE,I USE THE VPI 16.5 AND COULD NOT PLAY RECORDS WITHOUT IT. THIS MACHINE REALLY SUCKS!!BETTER THAN HOOVER.A MUST HAVE IF YOUR INTO VINYL!!!!
