o Pour 16 oz of cleaning fluid into the white tub.
o Screw-down the record clamp onto the LP. This protects the label and provides an axle.
o Place the LP into the tub between the submerged brushes.
o Spin the record by hand about 5 revolutions. The submerged brushes clean the grooves.
o Remove the record, remove the record clamp and place the clean record in the 15-record rack to dry.
o REPEAT FOR EACH RECORD
o Pour the 16 oz's of cleaning fluid through a filter in the funnel back into its container.
HINTS:
o Pre-clean especially dirty records in the sink, protecting the label by using the screw-down clamp.
o Be very careful when adding or removing records from the drying rack. Remove them vertically, keeping the record perpendicular to the table/counter and tilting it a bit to the side that has more room.
o Rotate the records 5 revolutions in one direction, then 5 revolutions in the opposite direction. You'll get cleaner records and more even wear on the brushes.
o Replace your paper record sleeves with 100 Taguchi Round LP Inner Sleeves 0.028Mm Thick Anti-Static Material inner sleeves. They are less abrasive on your records and reduce static.
o Put the records back in their sleeves as soon as they are completely dry. Otherwise, dust will accumulate on the records.
o Occasionally, you find foreign material embedded in the album and it can't be removed by Vinyl Styl. Put a drop of cleaner fluid on the material and gently remove with your fingernail. Reclean the lp.
o Even new records benefit audibly from cleaning.
o When inserting the clamp pieces, insert the piece with the long shaft first. When removing clamp from record, remove the piece marked "Top" first.
OPINION
o The system works well, but will not remove all traces of contaminants on the LP.
o It is faster and just as good as wet cleaning by hand.
o The record clamp is a great idea and makes the handling of the records easier.
o The drying rack is genius. It provides an input queue and a drying rack.
o The cleaning fluid provided is good, but you can easily make your own. I use 75% distilled water, 25% isopropyl alcohol (91% at Walgreens), and a couple drops of dish-washing liquid.
o I also like this concentrate: Spin Clean Wash Fluid 16 Ounces . It just takes a cap-full of this concentrate in the tub.
o I get excellent results with this product. Track noise is almost inaudible after cleaning the records. Even used records sound good. However, the product does not remove pops from scratches, nor does it remove crackle from worn records.
Love it!

-The goat brushes as opposed to the cleaning pads (the main difference with its competitor), work surprisingly well, they are soft enough that they don't scratch the record and thin enough that they seem to get into the grooves (each hair pretty much the with of a record stylus' tip). Also the density of the bristles seem to uniformly clean all the surface of the record evenly, which can be an issue with cleaning pads sometimes. The bristles are more flexible as well, allowing you to clean thin & thick records as they simply bend as needed. It is only feels tight when you change the direction of the rotation (which is expected) and when you remove the record vertically from the center (the brushes will come off this way), I recommend removing the record instead kind of horizontally towards one side with an extra last sweep of the brushes. I prefer the brushes because cleaning pads are not flexible, and they can accumulate dirt (rather than sweeping it) running the risk of smearing gunk over the record's surface even when wet.
-The watertight label holder and spinning axis is simply useful and genius. It even has a place for you to spin the wheel with your fingertips without having to touch the record (no warping risk!). Curious that they don't show that on their own video.
-The drying rack does work as intended and it gives you a kind of satisfying feeling when you see 15 records lined up drying, because it means that you're taking care of them. I recommend placing the records on the drying rack from the side, sliding them in (rather than vertically). The tips of the holders do have rubber, but no need risking a scratch or uneven water smudge or stain. Note that If you don't shake the records there will be water stains when they dry.
-The funel, strainer and filters are a nice bonus, and a simple solution to having to deal with impurities in your cleaning solution. Definitely use them regardless of what liquid you use, store-bought or self-made.
-Finally, I like it that the solution tank/basin can be covered with a lid if you decide to take a break or continue next day, without having to worry about impurities accumulating in the solution while gone.
The ONLY real cons are:
-True, unless you time it very well, pouring the solution from the basin back to the small funnel & bottle will not be easy when it's full, but it gets easier with practice. It would require a redesign to possibly solve it, but it's really a physics problem, it will happen with almost any type of container v/s bottle, unless you add a beak or spout into the design.
-The cleaning solution comes with sone gunk from the factory, it seems that some of the material the bottle is made of, has dissolved into the liquid, or at least peeled off the inside of it. Not sure, but if this is the case, it may have a high amount of alcohol in it. but anyway, when you pour the liquid into the washing basin, it looks that it comes with some Sea-Monkeys (Algi-looking things) floating around... Therefore I recommend pouring the liquid through the filters EVERY TIME you use it, and rinse the inside of the bottle with hot water at least the 1st time. I've had no problems after that.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with this device, and I hope that this helps someone who's deciding between the two similar pad v/s brush rotation record cleaning device.

Habiendo tratado algunos discos con mucha suciedad de variados orígenes pero principalmente debida a mal almacenamiento durante varios años, persisten algunos fallos en el sonido probablemente atribuibles a algo de suciedad restante (no puedo asegurar que no se deba a deterioro del material del soporte)
Dicho lo anterior, el resultado me ha parecido ESPECTACULAR para el precio del sistema. Muy por encima de mis expectativas.
El uso es extremadamente sencillo y para un entorno doméstico es, probablemente, la solución con mejor relación calidad / precio.
Hay un pequeño detalle que no aparece en la documentación de usuario: la recuperación del líquido debe hacerse, además del depósito principal, del accesorio de secado (algún mililitro podemos salvar).
En cualquier caso no he tenido tiempo de evaluar la duración del líquido limpiador... pero es bastante barato y fácilmente disponible con lo que no me parece un aspecto crítico. Lo mismo aplica para los filtros utilizados en la recuperación.
It cleans your records pretty good and they seemed a bit less "static-y" after. Far easier than methods I have used in the past and I really wish I had bought one of these systems sooner.
A couple notes/tips on this item.
The cleaning fluid goes a long way but another bottle is 20 bucks so to make sure you get the most from it make sure you give your records a quick wipe before cleaning to keep as much extra dust out of the cleanser as possible. If you are cleaning a large collection I would recommend cleaning your "cleanest' ones first. I made the mistake of doing some recently acquired estate sale finds that were quite dirty first and they kinda made the cleanser murky - though it does have the property of a dishwasher rinse agent to "sheet" the water off, i should have done these last. Returning the fluid to the bottle for next time takes a little patience but is worth it. I put the bottom of the system on the funnel and tipped the spout allowing the fluid to run down the side and into the bottle - easier than trying to get the system tipped 90 degrees when full of fluid.
Delivery from the seller was the next day (from USA) which was pretty fancy!!!
Lastly, to the review that called this one more expensive than the spin-clean due to the duty charge. This is what I paid: $83.57 + 3.49 (shipping) + 25.88 duties = 112.94. Amazon did not charge tax on the item.
The spin-clean currently is $109.99 + free shipping + 14.30 (13% HST) which comes to 124.29.
追伸です。洗浄液はアマゾンで購入できますが、蒸留水600ml+無水アルコール200ml+ドライウェル5〜6滴で同じ効果の洗浄液ができます。なお、ドライウェルを入れることで水はけがよく、すぐに乾燥してくれます。今は、レコードをかける前に洗浄・感想を行い、快適にレコード鑑賞をしています。
