Any one with vinyl should have one. I even clean new albums. Use the spacers between albums to separate more. Also used a exfoliant as well and lastly if you can reclean vinyl to remove a soap residue from cleaning solution. It might call build up on stylist. I have same cleaner with DYI motor spinner. Now at over 440 albums cleaned and going strong.
I’ve watched about 5 of these Vevor Ultrasonic cleaner videos. This one is the clearest, most helpful step-by-step explanation
I also have that exact unit. I've cleaned a couple hundred albums, many from the 60's. It can't remove scratches but it does rid the grunge from the grooves resulting in much improved sonics.
I clean 3 records at a time, spaced about an inch apart. I add 20 drops of Triton X-100 and 5 drops of 90% isopropyl alcohol. Before cleaning the records I run the unit for 20 min. to warm the water which I set at 40c but I will start the cleaning process when it reaches 30c.
I set the timer for 5 min. and clean without rotation. I rotate the records 90 degrees and clean for another 5 min, another 90 for 5 and another 90 for5. I then turn on the rotating motor and clean for another 5.
After cleaning I leave the records on the spindle, Drain the tank with an old hanky to filter the water. Refill the tank with clean distilled water and run another 5 min to remove all cleaning solution. Filter the rinse water and remove records & let them air dry.
I probably clean 7-10 times before changing the cleaning & rinse waters.
I bought the same one 2 years ago. It works great and some cleanings gave me jaw dropping results in sound quality.
Yeah, I’ve been really impressed so far!
I just got one of these yesterday and am already impressed. I have cleaned maybe 40 records, some i thought were clean and some i knew were not clean. Now im fairly certain they are all clean. I tested out playing anew record and an old record (47 years old). I had cleaned them with a spin cleaner and thought they were good. They sounded just fine. Then I cleaned with the Vevor and the difference is amazing. The new record sounded new and the old record sounded brand new again. Love the price and ease of use. I just have 1,000 more to go 😞
It's awesome to see a company putting this type of cleaner out at a reasonable price. Thanks for the review!
I paid $150 delivered for my Vevor which is mechanical control instead of digital about 7 months ago. I've cleaned hundreds of lps and am very happy with the results. A few things I've learned. Place the cleaner on a towel, it's quieter. Get a rheostat that slows the speed of the rotisserie, cheap. I also use Groovewasher.prodicts, G2 to lightly preclean and GSonic in the tank. I run it with 2 lps centered in the tank at about 85 degrees for 10 minutes. I vacuum dry on my 30 year old NittyGritty 1.5. Let air dry for a few minutes. New inner and outer sleeves with a small mark with a sharpie on the outer sleeve to note it's been cleaned and done. Remarkable results.
can you share the type of rheostat?
@@davidwatts-vs1ys There isn't much info on the part. I got it on Amazon for cheap.
@@davidwatts-vs1ys instead of the supplied power supply, use a lower voltage power supply e.g. 4 volts
I have this same ultrasonic cleaner but with a different mechanism to turn the records. I’ve been cleaning records for over 40 years and this is far and away the best method I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend some type of emulsifier solution to break up the fine oils and dust. I use a photographic cleaner, but any non-alcohol based cleaner such as liquinox or turgikleen will do the trick. You only need a couple of drops, so a bottle lasts a really long time. I rinse mine with distilled water then set the records on solo cups to dry with a small fan. It’s a pretty low tech operation. I typically run brand new records (yes, you have to clean new records) for 8 minutes and others for 15 minutes. Anything more than that is overkill, IMO. For really, really dirty records, a couple of cleans may be necessary. Records are a lot more durable than people might think. Sure if it’s really scratched, that’s a problem, but a lot of the time records are just really dirty. You may be surprised at how well you can get an old “wall hanger” to play with a good cleaning.
I suggest putting at least 2 spacers between the records, so there's more room for the cavitation bubbles to do their thing.
Nice vid. Thanks!
It might be advantageous to (when doing 2 records) to use all the spacers between the 2 LPs. More room for the water to flow in between.
Excellent advice.
I have this exact ultrasonic cleaner. I highly recommend only cleaning 4 at a time, using 2 spacers between records. It doesn't do as good of a job cleaning 8. I only use distilled water without any additives and I get fantastic results.
Been really looking at this, glad to know it works
@@_GOATish I clean my records the same way 4 at a time with 2 spacers in between the records, however I use distilled water with spin clean fluid and triton x-100 (a surfactant) and it really deep cleans my records. I have records that I thought sounded great before cleaning, the afterwards results were night and day difference.
According to Discogs I've cleaned 458 albums to date and not a hiccup with this exact machine. Distilled water and 1/4 cup of isopropyl. Beautiful, just beautiful results and they sound as good as they look. Ive done 1,2, 4, 6, 8 at a time and all are spotless and equally quiet when played. I use a Black Diamond Weave towel from the Rag Company to dry as soon as they come out. Then I rack dry with a small fan for 10 minutes. Sleeve the up and they are good to go. Great video - I subbed and liked too. Nicely done!
@@curtmurray6085 awesome
@markbutcher2734 thanks for the info. I will be getting one. It seems it is worth it.
I have this unit. I discovered a fairly serious issue with it that could easily damage all the records used in the device. Take a close look at frames around 5:12
Notice where the record support axel collar attaches to the short motor axel. See how the record axel support collar fits into the slot on the vertical mount? See how close the fit between the rotating record axel sleeve collar and the motor axel is? Well actually, it is TOO CLOSE AND THEY RUB TOGETHER, CAUSING TINY METAL PARTICLES TO SCRAPE OFF AND FALL INTO THE BATH.
I had to use some metal files and file the slot in the area of the bottom position, where the sleeve collar would be when the records are rotating in the bath, in order to eliminate the metal particles.
You have been warned...
I've had one of these for years and I have a few tips. Leave the heat off, you don't need to clean for more than 10 minutes, when cleaning just 2-3 records use the extra acrylic spacers between the records so there is more room for the bubbles to get in there, you want the records to be tight on the spindle - they should not rotate.
I have the exact same set up you are showing. I do every used record. I am very happy with it.
In europe they also sell analogue versions which are a bit cheaper, approx 160 eur. I have used it to cleanup unplayable moldy records ( distilled water and a few drops of dishwasher solution )... results are very good. It does not clean up a lot of the big pops and cracks though... damaged records remain damaged records. In my case when the appliance was set to 30 celcius, i measured 42... so be a bit carefull with temp settings. You do not wanna warp your vinyl.
Great review it’s a game changer. The spacing as mentioned good idea. I also rinse the records with distilled water to remove any surfactant left behind then wipe them in a circular motion using the softest towel from the rag company 0% lint! I then slide them completely dry into a static free sleeve. One option on my ultrasonic is a de-gasser which I run for 30 minutes. It takes the tension out of the water. Thank You
I got mine a few weeks ago and I am very pleased with it.
I own the same unit. I recommend if you're cleaning just two records at a time, consider placing the extra spacers between them. It's been noted that the ultrasonic cleaner may not clean effectively if the records are positioned too closely together. In this size tank I only clean three records at a time, spacing the records about 1" apart from each other.
Oh that’s a great idea! I’ll have to try spacing them out further next time. Thanks
I just bought this and your video helped me to put it together. Thank you!
I personally use the HumminGuru ultra sonic cleaner. They make their own cleaner, so I just use it. It costs considerably more than the one you're showing, but I absolutely love it! I also have the adapter for 45's. But that record cleaner looks like it would do a pretty good job. I'm glad it's more affordable than the others. (Incase mine ever tears up.) Great review! 👍🏻
That’s a really popular cleaner. Everyone I know that has one raves about it. It’s just a little pricey for me.
Love my HumminGuru. The difference it has made is amazing.
I work in aerospace and we have 2 slightly larger units about 5 gallons, same brand and faceplate. They are LOUD, I do have an issue where when they are running the temperature rises past the set point so be watchful of that. Actually the 2nd one we purchased quit working after a few weeks, the light on the rear switch is lit so it has power but nothing at the front. These are made in China so quality is, well, you know.
Great review! I just purchased my cleaner and Groove Washer solution this morning. Really looking forward to using it. Take care.
Done hundreds of records with this one and super happy as I only spent like 70 bucks a few years ago. Only thing I would suggest is to change out the power adapter to a 3v 1Amp like 6 bucks on Amazon to slow down the RPM then I run for 10 minutes or so. Amazing results.
Thanks for the suggestion!
SpinClean to me is much more than a cleaner, it's therapeutic. Put on some music, and just let your mind wander as you spin your day away. Very relaxing.
It’s also like soaking in a bath filled with dirty water. Pointless.
@@JLeeeP so this is like soaking in a dirty hot tub with the jets on high? Pointless comment IMO.
no, there is no gasket around the outer ring of the Seperators its a design flaw. other cleaner of this type has the plastic o rings to seal out the water
Had one for ages it’s brilliant
I would only do 2 at a time for used records with proper spacing for best results in a tank that size. I have a bigger tank and only clean 3 at once, sometimes 4. It's also a good idea to rinse with distilled water after cleaning. I use a Spin Clean for that.
There's one thing you don't find mentioned in a lot of the talk on these ultrasonic cleaners. At least not in the manuals or material included is it mentioned. You have to rinse the surfactant off after using the ultrasonic cleaner to avoid future problems to your LPs from the surfactant chemicals. Especially the primary chemical which I cannot remember the name of right now..
I have the same ultrasonic cleaner that you do and I got mine about 2 years ago on amazon. They were about $225 back then so they've come down in price. I had previously gotten one of the SpinClean washers but I never used it. But that comes in handy for rinsing my records after ultrasonically cleaning them. I put distilled water in it and use it to rinse my records after taking them out of the ultrasonic cleaner. I'm not 100% sure what the surfactant in the GrooveWasher fluid is. But I'm sure it is the same as what is in my Tergicleen surfactant. The surfactant is what gets the water drops into the grooves and loosens the grime or particles needing to be cleaned. I tried using the ultrasonic cleaner without any surfactant at the beginning but the records just weren't coming out as clean. Tergicleen was what I needed to use and it did the trick and it works great.
But you really do want to rinse your records with distilled water after ultrasonically cleaning them. There are a lot of channels in the VC that talk about the topic and there are some that won't even use the surfactant because of the damage it reportedly can do to vinyl records. But if it's rinsed off, the problem has been removed and it's nothing to worry about most people agree. The SpinClean cleaners are the perfect tool to rinse with. They usually go on sale near Christmas time and they also have dropped in price I've noticed in recent years.
I just wanted to mention this to you so you could look into it yourself and determine what you want to do as far as removing the surfactant goes.
Brian in fort Worth 🎶
This is really important. The Spinclean or similar is ideal. As to using a surfactant, less is more. Triton X-100 is now banned in the UK/EU. It's also a pig to rinse off. Tergitol 15-S-9 (USA) or Dehypon LS54 (UK/EU) are my weapons of choice. Either should be used at about 0.5ml to a 6.5 litre tank.
@@simonhickie7589 Exactly! Very well said. I've only used Tergitol myself so far. Thanks for some factual updates too!
Great to see The Cure (pops) in the background.
Awesome video!! I’d love to see a full before and after video if you get the chance!! You may have sold me on this thanks for sharing!!
I got one 2 years ago!!!! (yeah still looking up video's on it for fun) My method is doing The vinyl vac method for pre cleaning, then it goes in the Vevor for 20 minutes then distilled rinse and Vinyl Vac dry. I use Distilled, ilford ilfotol wetting agent and a cap full of 99.99% lab grade Iisopropyl alcohol (if there are finger prints all over it for the pre clean) Run the Vevor with your fresh mix for 30 minutes to degause the mix in the bath. Yeah its a process but it is a labor of love and the results are off the hook! I do 1 album at a time. oh I got a voltage regulator so the motor the record spinner so it turns slower! (there cheap on amazon) The Vinyl Vac pre clean is so worth it! Oh one last thing, Like I said I do 1 at a time and use spacers to get the album as center as I can in the Vevor Bath.
I have one of these they are excellent and they save you a few thousand over some of the fancy cleaners
can I ask those who own these type of cleaners how often one should change the water?
On thing I notice after watching another video. When you turn it on 40 is the ideal temp and 19 is the temp of the water. You need to let the water warm up to 40 or so before you start it. You hit the button and it looked like 34 when it shut off. That would help clean better I would think. Outside of that this is a great video since the instructions are so vague.
My thought was to use two or three spacers between the albums to allow more cleaning acrtion or room between to do its sonic action.
Someone else suggested that also. I’ll definitely try that next time.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’ve been considering a cleaner(we use Groove Washer too)like this for a long time. However, we just couldn’t pull the trigger due to expense. For whatever reason we couldn’t justify the price tag. This could very well be the one for us. Again, many thanks!🙏🏻🎧
That chisel lp is 🔥
a tip never dry run the cleaner without water you will damage the transducers 👍👍
those spacers are not sealed so they dont do crap to protect the label.
Also, if you are going to only clean two at a time space them out. The way you had them so close you may as well load the thing up, same difference.
There are some spacers on Amazon with a rubber ring to create a better seal, but I’ve ran about two dozen albums through it without issue. I think I just didn’t have it tightened enough. I might get some of those spacers from Amazon and see if I get better results.
Would it be possible to show a before and after comparison for sound? Just wondering how much of the crackles and pops it gets rid of. Thanks!
I would recommend the Oki Noki. It's more expensive but handier to get started, you waste less water and you don't need to let your records dry because it has a vacuum. So, you avoid new dust from falling on your records.
completely different clean all together .....
Pops and clicks ...get an arc lighter with the snake head. Wave it around the vinyl a few times and be amazed. Between your before Vevor and the lighter yer good !
Here’s some tips, since I have one of these and have used on over 500 records
Turn the unit on, duh
Then I set my water temp, which is the left side controls to 29 Celsius, then wait for both this numbers to reach 29, then start the cleaning cycle for 30 minutes
From what I found, the ultra sonic cleaner is more effective with more space between each record, those spacers are fine but for problematic records, you must leave more space for the waves to be more effective.
I also suggest getting a spray bottle or pump sprayer of some sort to post rinse the records after the ultra sonic cleaning
I don’t know what you added to your water, I use surfactant and some isopropyl alcohol, that has worked well for me
I’ve had a bunch of people that have US cleaners recommend the concentrated cleaner from GrooveWasher (that I used in the video). They said that using that there wasn’t a need to clean the record off afterwards.
It’s clear you were sent this cleaner to review which always raises questions about the honesty of the review 199 dollars seems a little cheap for a decent ultrasonic machine The Humminguru ultrasonic machine is 499 but well worth the extra cost to clean your records I’ve used mine nonstop for 2 years and it cleans the records beautifully and is holding up great!! Don’t buy something that you might regret later
I said right in the beginning of the video that it was sent to me to review, but if I thought it was a pile of junk I would have said that. There’s lots of things that I’ve refused to review on the channel because I refuse to be a shill for companies trying to make a quick buck off of record collectors. My reviews are always what I honestly think about the product I’m reviewing.
I would suggest using some photoflow to break down the water so it gets deeper in the grooves. I've used mine for 5 years and I've noticed a tremendous difference in the sound of all my vinyl. I would also run the cycle at 30 minutes and with the photoflow it takes just about an hour for a complete clean.
cool Mtv shirt Nick
Good video I have 2 ultrasonic cleaners machine an digital ultrasonic cleaner almost like vevor and the humminguru ultrasonic cleaner and both does a great job cleaning all my records.
I was wondering about this. I use a spin clean kind of thing. It cleans great, even new records, they are super dirty. I might splurge and get this and a Pi album straighter since I have gotten 2 brand new records that were warped beyond playing. One was brand new, and one was older. Hard to get the new one replaced because it was special edition. Love to get them repaired.
I have one of these. The stock spinner is too fast. I replaced the motor in mine with a 0.6rpm unit. It took about 20 minutes including desoldering and soldering. Spacing the records at a single wavelength distance of about 37mm means you can fit 3 records on an adapted spinner rod. 10 minutes at 0.6rpm is about right.
No one shows these cleaning 45's?.
Hi, I have very dirty water after a few plates... what about it? thanks
i have rilly thiken about buy ing on, thank for a goog rewive😀
Black Friday list is out. What is on your list?
Funny that you’d ask, I just dropped a RSDBF first take video on the channel.
Question. When the timer ran out after 30 minutes, did the records stop rotating or did the motor just keep going?
The albums keep rotating until the motor is turned off.
@@TheVinylDen that is a good thing. Thanks.
The grating of the records’ spindle holes across the threads makes me nervous lol
I thought about that also, so I'm always really careful about putting them on. On the flip side though, if the hole is a little too small the threads on the spindle will open the hole up a little. 😂
@@TheVinylDenlol there’s a positive to everything 😂
Does it come with spacers or rod to clean 45's?
Damn I want one of these
This might seem like a silly question, but in your experience can you reuse the water a few times? Could end up getting pricey with all that distilled water😶🌫
Yes I’ve been reusing the water. When I’m done cleaning records I empty the basin back into the gallon jugs. I noticed that as I drain it most of the dirt and debris collects at the bottom of the basin so I don’t fully empty the water into the jugs. The last 1/4” or so of water I waste, so eventually I’ll have to get more distilled water but so far I’ve been using the same and have cleaned well over 100 records. I just monitor the cleanliness of the water I’m using and if it gets dirty I’ll replace it.
Just curious, how many records can I clean before changing cleaning liquid?
Good question. So far I’ve cleaned almost 100 albums and haven’t changed the water. I do empty the basin and each cleaning session though and I just drain the water back into the gallon jugs.
Don’t use a lint roller removal. To remove lint, use a decent brush
I have a good brush, but IMO the record roller seems to work better at cleaning off surface dust.
What about 45s?
I haven’t tried any 45s, but if it has the same 1/4” spindle hole size I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
why doesn't the spacer label savers have a gasket around the edge like ALL the other other ones. I watched this video to see if yours had the gasket but it doesn't either. So this will ruin the labels without a seal/gasket
I’ve cleaned at least 100 albums and the only time the label has gotten wet is when I didn’t tighten it enough (which I think was only twice and didn’t cause any harm to the label). The upgraded spacers are available on Amazon for pretty cheap, so it’s always an option.
@@TheVinylDen Copy that, I'll look for those upgrades. Thank you!
I have a different Vevor model, but can confirm, does the job very, very well. I have run all of my LPs through, some twice. It made a nominal difference in most cases, and a major difference in several. $130 was all it cost.
Yeah, I’ve been super impressed with it so far! I ran some older albums through it and it made a huge difference in sound quality.
Records dry in about 20 minutes, depending on the weather, temperature, etc.
I bought the Vevor and noticed the motor was turning the record almost 7 times a minute when it should be less than 2 according to research I've done. After sending several emails the company sent a second unit that turned at the same fast speed. Less than a year later and the transducers in both ultrasonic machines died. I'll never buy another one.
30 minutes is probably overkill to run / probably 15 minutes max is all you need.
Yeah, the second batch of records I cleaned I only ran it for 15 minutes and it worked just as good.
@@TheVinylDen I go ten. Ultrasonic cleaning is aggressive and can damage your lps if exposed too long.
4 minutes has always been enough for most LPs unless very dirty.
Not available in the UK. This from the UK GOV website...
Product: Vevor Ultrasonic Cleaners
Hazard: The products present a high risk of electric shock as the products are inadequately earthed and of inadequate size which caused the earthing wire to overheat and melt the insulation. The plug also failed to comply with BS1363-1 as the earthing pins had less than 3.9 mm thickness, which is below the minimum required.
Corrective action: Destruction of the product at the border
Buy another brush. Use a marker to: wet, dry
A little birdie told me they ordered a Vevor through temu specifically. They went to return it and they were given a refund and told to just keep it. YMMV
😮
Truly disappointed in Vevor warranty service. My ultrasonic died at 11mo and it took 4+ weeks for them to send me a replacement motherboard. now I have to hire a friend to install it. Bad communication, they wanted videos to prove it and then didn't watch the videos, followed by more bad communication. The board arrived yesterday. I am truly hopeful that is all that was needed to get it working again. I will not be buying vevor ever again.
30 minuets for 2 albums!! Unacceptable. I can clean 40 albums in a few hours with my Spin Clean. And I revisit the sleeves whilst I watch the hockey game on the sports channel. Plus its hands on. Connection with my albums is important to me.
30 minutes is definitely a little long. Since that first time I've only been running it 10-15 minutes and getting the same results. For the price of it I've been pretty impressed.
After researching, I decided to avoid ultrasonics due to the risks of damage to records. They are also not that effective anyways. If you do use one, don’t put it in for 30 min, shouldn’t be more than 5 min else risk damage
Someone with no direct experience using an US cleaner has no business giving advice about same. Shut it down, gramps.
You have no experience with an ultrasonic cleaner so you don’t get to have an opinion.
@@JLeeePthat's a bit harsh, the Vevor machines are designed to strip grime off jewellery not for cleaning delicate vinyl, we've been using those exact same machines at work for the last 20years and I would have to say that they could most definitely damage your records.
@@vincentrathbone26 It doesn't matter what they are designed for. If a Vevor creates cavitation at 35-40 khz and a Humminguru creates cavitation at 35-40 khz, they are cleaning in exactly the same way. They just look different. Why is that so hard to understand?
@@JLeeeP what's with the aggressive attitude.
I would rather use my vacuum record cleaner Particularly for very dirty records.
200 bucks plus tax ?? But that is 200 bucks I could have spent on more vinyl ;)
I think it’s $160 on their website and there’s also a 5% off promo code. I know it still isn’t cheap, but considering most other U.S. cleaners are $300-$700 it seems like a steal at $160.
You don't need cleaning solution the cavitation does the cleaning.
Don't run it for more than 5 mins, the longer you run it the more likely you damage your vinyl (Yes these things can damage vinyl)
30mins is way too long !!!!
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 You're the first person I've heard say this. I'm not in any way arguing with you, I just don't know where this info is coming from. I use mine on a full 30 minute cycle, and I don't want to damage my vinyl.
@@_GOATish
Do your own experiment, put a record in for 5 mins and play it to see if it's clean, put it in for another 25 and see if it's any better.
The water temperature also doesn't matter.
Your record should be good after 5mins once its clean its not getting more clean, the extra 25 is just risking damaging it.
There are videos out there showing damaged grooves after prolonged use in a ultrasonic cleaner, remember that these things were made to clean car parts, machine parts, jewellery etc metals, so you've got to be really careful with PVC and not overexpose it unnecessarily.
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 hey, thanks for alerting me to this. I'll definitely do my own research.
I've ran all my cycles at 30 minutes and there in no damage to any vinyl that has been cleaned and I've cleaned over 2k so far
@@keithnelson9233 Yeah, I've cleaned more than 100 in mine, but that doesn't mean I couldn't damage something. I'm just going to be honest and say that I don't know who's right, I'm still pretty new at all of this.
Buy a 21st century HumminGuru instead. Leave this old-fashioned Victorian contraption of a machine for those folks in the jewelry business.
They both do the exact same thing in the exact same way, but one costs $200 and the other doesn’t.
@@JLeeeP How do you know that? Have you compared like for like results on a time-frame basis? No you have not. Not only that, but The VD also states there's much better results if the Vevor is used for single items only and not stacked up. And it looks like a car crash of a design to me. I would expect nothing of much good for just $200.
@@apollomemories7399 I'm very familiar with both. I own one and a good friend owns the Humminguru., which I have used. All US machines clean the exact same way, through cavitation.
There are differences in frequencies between machines but the Vevor and the Guru use the same frequency. They clean in the exact same way, period. And you don't have to clean one record at a time using units like the Vevor. The spacers they provide are too thin but I don't use them; my spinner spaces three records slightly more than an inch apart, so I can clean and dry three records in fewer than 10 minutes.
You paid for looks, which is your choice and perfectly valid, but I'll close by mentioning that a google search about problems with the Guru will get you a lot of hits. When it works, it's fine. My "car crash" of a cleaner is homely but has never failed while cleaning well over 2,000 records.
00:33 Nicee!
Seems clunky. This wouldn't be my first choice.
I have a Spin Clean as a basic tune-up cleaner between plays, but for deep cleaning I use my Kirmuss KA RC-1. I've owned it for a decade, and it does wonders after coming home from a swap meet or from a used-record store.
Do you clean your car with a teethbrush every time you drive? I clean my records just when I buy them, só I don't need this monster in my house.
I only clean my records when I first buy them, but since I buy 200-300 records a year it comes in pretty handy (especially with older records).
